O autorze

Michele Barone is an experienced consultant working in the field of food science and technology. His work focuses mainly on food packaging and correlated failures and on selected food products with a dedicated tradition (for instance, the Mediterranean Diet). More recently, he has written about food traceability systems for European cheese products. Michele currently works at the Association ‘Componiamo il Futuro’ (CO.I.F.) in Palermo, Italy (sector: professional training). He has recently published ‘Dietary Patterns, Food Chemistry and Human Health’ and ‘Quality Systems in the Food Industry’ in the series SpringerBriefs in Chemistry of Foods.

Rita Tulumello, a biologist with a degree in Industrial and Food Biotechnologies from the University of Palermo, Italy, chiefly works on chemical and microbiological analyses related to food and industrial (non-food) areas. Her past experience concerns the evaluation of microbiological and chemical profiles related to various food products, including cow milk cheeses and environmental samples. In this regard, she has co-authored articles on food chemistry that focus on the estimation of antioxidant properties ascribed to several polyphenols in vegetable tissues and their potential use in meat preparations.
