Magdolna Nagyné Gasztonyi PhD

dr. Magdolna Nagy-Gasztonyi graduated at the University of Horticulture in 1979 and has been working at the Central Food Research Institute (nowadays Food Science Research Institute). At the beginning she joined to projects in the subject of pectolytic enzymes’ fermentation and their application in food industry. She obtained dr. univ. degree in 1986 at the University of Horticulture. Her research activity included various tasks concerning nutrition sciences. She took part in foreigner projects too, for example in the production of lactofermented vegetable juices (ATO-DLO, Wageningen), HPLC analysis of berries (Finland, Kuopio). Later she studied the antinutritive components and secondary metabolites of fruit and vegetables. She applied the classical analytical assays and also took part in the adaptation of various HPLC methods. She also investigated the activity of various enzymes in order to control the technological effects (peroxidase, lipoxygenase) as well as to study various plant materials (amylolitic enzymes in wheat). In the last years she was also engaged in comparison of various antioxidant capacity assays.
