Biography:
Giuseppe Tancredi Patanè is a young scientist in Biochemistry, at the University of Messina. I started studying biochemistry in 2017 in the research group of Prof. Davide Barreca until now. During my work I utilize biochemical methods to investigate the nature of proteins and the properties of natural compounds, like antioxidants, anti-aggregative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial. I have analyzed the molecular basis of interactions between the flavonoids and human serum albumin to clarify the blood transportation process and the stabilization process of protein structure and, actually, I am getting into the production of bioplastics, which are biodegradable and functionalized with natural compounds that can increase the shelf life of food. I have published 12 papers in reputed journals, and I participated at several international congress.
Title : Biochemical modification of poly-vinyl-alcohol-based bioplastics with a combinatory approach with microcrystalline cellulose, glycerol and natural antioxidant to increase its food packaging application
