chemist, working in collaboration with the DEMETRA Department of the University of Palermo, Italy. She has also worked with private laboratories, with a major focus in analytical methods on different food matrices. In particular, topics of her recent research comprise the study of biogenic amines and the selection of amine-degrading non-starter lactic acid bacteria in Sicilian cheeses. Her published works include 'A survey of the main technology, biochemical and microbiological features influencing the concentration of biogenic amines of twenty Apulian and Sicilian (Southern Italy) cheeses' (2015) and 'Selection of "amine-degrading" non-starter lactic acid bacteria from Sicilian cheeses' (2014).







Michele Barone is an experienced photographer and consultant, working in the field of food science and technology and also in restoration chemistry. Some of his works have been published in international books (Smithers Rapra Technologies, Ltd, Springer) with a main focus on food packaging and correlated failures, and selected food products with a dedicated tradition (Mediterranean Diet). More recently, he has also written about food traceability systems in the field of European cheese products. At present, Michele works at the Association 'Componiamo il Futuro' (CO.I.F.) in Palermo, Italy (sector: professional training).







Professor Izabela Steinka is specialised in microbiology and food hygiene. She is a professor at the Maritime University in Gdynia, and she is particularly interested in microbiological interactions. The topics of her recent research comprise health promotion and biological aspects of packaging, which are related to her didactic work at the Medical University in Gdansk and College of Health and Beauty in Gdynia. Her published works include 'Hygiene in Commerce and Service Sector' (2007), 'Prognostics of Microbiological Interactions" (2007), 'Lactic Acid Cheese Safety' (2008), and 'Microbiology of Food and Industrial Materials' (2011).
