Julia Darlison

Postdoctoral researcher, Department of Plant Breeding
My research focuses on the nutritional and sensory properties of wheat, with particular emphasis on heritage varieties.

Presentation

I study wheat composition in relation to quality, flavor, and potential health-related aspects. My work involves analytical techniques such as HPLC and LC-MS QTOF for compound characterization and profiling. In addition, I explore the use of germination and fermentation processes to improve sensory attributes and functional quality.
