Description of the research topic:

By means of their beta-glucosidase enzymes, which are involved in the degradation of cellulose as well, filamentous fungi are promising agents for liberation of antioxidants. Due to their anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive and antitumor properties, these compounds have many beneficial effects on the human body. Therefore, our goals include the investigation of enzymological and biological conditions to improve the antioxidative phenolic enrichment on plant-derived residues having high antioxidant capacity, which makes a theoretical background for production of natural and health-promoting food additives. This program also extends to development of analytical HPLC protocols for fast identification, and completion of anti-microbial studies and kinetic analyses.
