Food Microbiology

Maria J Cantalejo is a tenured Professor in the Department of Food Technology at the Public University of Navarre in Spain. She has her expertise in developing new food products and optimizing non-thermal process conditions to improve preservation of foods. She believes that a change in people's standard of life could be considered, mainly in the case of underdeveloped countries, since they could obtain some life essential raw materials. Therefore, one of her main projects is to develop new high quality products, safe, with a high nutritional value, with no additives added and long lasting at room temperature. This approach is responsive to eradicate hunger from the world.
