Researchers

Dr Nebojša Ilić

RESEARCH AREA: Isolation, characterization and application of nutraceuticals. Work in the field of food and health, especially on natural bioactive compounds from various sources and their use in the formulation and design of food functional products. This includes the identification of these compounds, their analysis, extraction, and incorporation into various matrices, as well as the testing of functional products formulated in this way as potential new food items and determining their impact on human health.

Dr Nemanja Teslić

RESEARCH AREA: Isolation, characterization and application of nutraceuticals. Isolation of bioactive compounds from agro-food sector by-products using green extraction techniques (supercritical and subcritical fluid extraction, microwave and ultrasound-assisted extractions) and/or green solvents (Natural deep eutectic solvents. Analysis of bioactive compounds using liquid and gas chromatography with various detectors. Participant in three international H2020 projects (key person in one), one bilateral project with Slovenia and three national projects (work package coordinator in one).

Dr Olivera Đuragić

RESEARCH AREA: Products based on grain crops for human and animal nutrition. Research activities related to the technology of animal feed production, processing of raw materials and finished compound feeds, quality and safety control of feed, working accuracy of the process (homogeneity of compound feeds, and premixes, cross-contamination, and carryover), utilization of agricultural and food by-products, innovative and functional animal feed, cooperation with industry, and commercialization of scientific research.

Dr Pavle Jovanov

RESEARCH AREA: Food and feed safety. Food chemistry with a focus on food functionality and safety. Development of extraction techniques and analytical methods (HPLC/DAD/ MS-MS) for the determination of bioactive compounds from different matrixes. Design of innovative products. Honey quality and safety.

Dr Predrag Ikonić

RESEARCH AREA: Isolation, characterization and application of nutraceuticals. Food engineer specializing in meat technology. His research activities are focused on two main topics. The first one is related to technology, quality characterization, and standardization of traditional foods of animal origin. The second one is connected with the technological, nutritional, and sensory quality, safety, and shelf life of the meat products supplemented with plant-based functional materials. He is the co-author of over 250 scientific papers, several technical solutions, and five specifications for the protection of the designation of geographical origin of food products.

Dr Rada Jevtić Mučibabić

RESEARCH AREA: Isolation, characterization and application of nutraceuticals. Scientific research work focused on the quality, safety, and nutritional value of food plant products from the aspect of finding, formulating, and characterizing new functional products for the food industry. Research in the field of sugar industry is related to the quality of products, intermediate products, and by-products of sugar beet processing, with an emphasis on their application in fermentation, processing, and food technologies, as well as the application of said by-products in biotechnology.

Dr Tamara Dapčević Hadnađev

RESEARCH AREA: Proizvodi na bazi zrnastih kultura za ishranu ljudi i životinja

Dr Tatjana Peulić

RESEARCH AREA: Isolation, characterization and application of nutraceuticals. She is an expert in meat technology and certain parts of meat safety. Her research focus is on the creation of meat products with added value, their characterization, and the investigation of shelf life. Also, her research focuses on quality standardization and the protection of traditional food products.
