About Me

Dr. Davidov-Pardo's area of expertise is in the development of nanometric and micrometric colloidal-based delivery systems ,such as nanoemulsions or biopolymer nanoparticles, for the protection and controlled release of colorants, antioxidants and/or flavors. Food waste is a major problem, so one of his lines of research is focused on the development of biopolymer-based edible coating to serve as sustainable and natural packaging techniques to extend the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables. Lastly, Dr. Davidov-Pardo has expertise in teaching Food Chemistry, Sensory Evaluation of Foods and Food Product Development. He has also expertise in advising teams of students for Product Development competitions, as well as conducting discriminative, descriptive and hedonic Sensory Evaluations of a variety of food products.
