Mi interés de investigación es en la caracterización químico-física de matrices alimentarias sometidas a procesos de deterioro térmico entre otros, enfocado en sistemas lipídicos como aceites vegetales no refinados, además del aprovechamiento de subproductos agroindustriales y material vegetal nativo mediante procesos de extracción para la obtención de compuestos bioactivos que puedan ser utilizados en el procesamiento de alimentos, mejorando aspectos nutritivos y evitando el deterioro y oxidación de lípidos.
