“The branch of science I work in is quite interesting for all people because everybody eats every day. And to choose what to eat and how we eat to be healthy is particularly important. When we think, carry out a research and teach in the center of our mind there is a very interesting and ancient statement established by Hippocrates, Greek founder of western medicine, “Let your food be your medicine and medicine be the food.” So in the Department of Technology and Organization of Public Catering I am focusing on my research stream on the functional foods and human nutrition; in the same time educating my students to improve their skills related to this interesting branch of science. This is the branch of science that deals with the study of bioactive compounds in food and their health benefits to maximize value of the food. These bioactive compounds may be added to some food products to increase their nutritional and functional quality. On the other hand, these bioactive compounds could be used to formulate specific functional foods to protect consumers from some health problems like cancer, high level of cholesterol and malnutrition,” shares El-Sohaimy Sobhy Ahmed, a professor of Food Biochemistry, the Program manager.
