Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Álvaro Cruz‐Carrión is a food and nutrition researcher with a focus on food biotechnology and the agri-food sector. His work involves designing and conducting metabolomic studies using animal models, particularly rats, to investigate the bioavailability and metabolism of health-promoting phytochemicals found in foods. He has published research on the phenolic composition of tomatoes from various growing locations and their absorption in rats, as well as comparative studies on phenolic content and antioxidant capacity in organic versus non-organic plant-based foods. His research also explores the impact of seasonal consumption of fruits like cherries and tomatoes on metabolic markers and gene expression in rat liver. Cruz‐Carrión has experience in scientific writing and communication, utilizing statistical software and databases. His h-index is 7 with 229 total citations across 16 publications.
