Dr Magdalena Rychlicka from the Department of Food Chemistry and Biocatalysis from the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences intends to obtain a preparation of ferulic acid in the form of a nanoemulsion, so that it can be used as a supplement in the prevention of civilisation diseases such as cancer and diabetes.

Ferulic acid has antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anticancer, but also neuro-, hepato- and cardioprotective effects. It can therefore have a significant role in the prevention of diseases of civilisation”.

Thanks to her previous work on natural aromatic acids and phospholipids, Dr Rychlicka has created a library of new compounds with enhanced biological potential and improved physicochemical properties, which have not yet been described in the literature. Thanks to the possibility of obtaining them through biotechnological transformations, these compounds have also gained the possibility of practical application as dietary supplements and food additives.
