Antonella Del Fiore, Food Technologist. She is permanent scientist at ENEA, since 2010. She graduated from University of Basilicata with a master degree in Food science and technology in 1998. In 2009, she graduated from Sapienza University of Rome with a PhD degree in Botanical sciences. Del Fiore has experience in Research activities related to the development of analytical methods for the detection of food spoilage microrganisms (altering and toxigenic mold, bacteria) in raw materials and products. She has also experience in Research activities related to the identification and quantification of biological and chemical components and quality markers of products and process. These expertise allowed her to monitor microbiological transformations in production, preservation and packaging processes and carry out the qualitative characterization of different foods. She is co-author of more than 20 peer-reviewed published papers. https://bioagro.sostenibilita.enea.it/people/antonella-fiore
