Mass Spectrometry in Food Analysis (ePub)

Functional Foods. In a coedition with Hamir Rathore, Handbook of Pesticides: Methods of Pesticides Residues Analysis was marketed in 2009; Pesticides: Evaluation of Environmental Pollution in 2012; Biopesticides Handbook in 2015; and Green Pesticides Handbook: Essential Oils for Pest Control in 2017. Other finished book projects include Food Allergens: Analysis, Instrumentation, and Methods (with A. van Hengel; CRC Press, 2011) and Analysis of Endocrine Compounds in Food (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011). Dr. Nollet's recent projects include Proteomics in Foods with F. Toldrá (Springer, 2013) and Transformation Products of Emerging Contaminants in the Environment: Analysis, Processes, Occurrence, Effects, and Risks with D. Lambropoulou (Wiley, 2014). In the series Food Analysis & Properties, he edited (with C. Ruiz-Capillas) Flow Injection Analysis of Food Additives (CRC Press, 2015) and Marine Microorganisms: Extraction and Analysis of Bioactive Compounds (CRC Press, 2016). With A.S. Franca, he coedited Spectroscopic Methods in Food Analysis (CRC Press, 2017), and with Horacio Heinzen and Amadeo R. Fernandez-Alba he coedited Multiresidue Methods for the Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Food (CRC Press, 2017). Further volumes in the series Food Analysis & Properties are Phenolic Compounds in Food: Characterization and Analysis (with Janet Alejandra Gutierrez-Uribe, 2018), Testing and Analysis of GMO-containing Foods and Feed (with Salah E. O. Mahgoub, 2018), Fingerprinting Techniques in Food Authentication and Traceability (with K. S. Siddiqi, 2018), Hyperspectral Imaging Analysis and Applications for Food Quality (with N.C. Basantia, Leo M.L. Nollet, Mohammed Kamruzzaman, 2018), Ambient Mass Spectroscopy Techniques in Food and the Environment (with Basil K. Munjanja, 2019), Food Aroma Evolution: During Food Processing, Cooking, and Aging (with M. Bordiga, 2019), Mass Spectrometry Imaging in Food Analysis (2020), Proteomics in Food Authentication (with S. Ötles, 2020), Analysis of Nanoplastics and Microplastics in Food (with K.S. Siddiqi, 2020), Chiral Organic Pollutants, Monitoring and Characterization in Food and the Environment (with Edmond Sanganyado and Basil K. Munjanja, 2020), Sequencing Technologies in Microbial Food Safety and Quality (with Devarajan Thangardurai, Saher Islam, Jeyabalan Sangeetha, 2021), and Nanoemulsions in Food Technology: Development, Characterization, and Applications (with Javed Ahmad, 2021).

Robert Winkler studied biotechnology (Fachhochschule Jena, Germany) and biochemical engineering (University of Birmingham, UK). In 2004, he started a Ph.D. in natural products chemistry at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology, Hans Knöll Institute (HKI) Jena, Germany. During this time, Robert Winkler used mass spectrometry for structure elucidation. After graduating in 2007, he stayed at the HKI as PostDoc and head of the mass spectrometry and proteomics unit.

In 2010, Robert Winkler accepted a call and founded the biochemical and instrumental analysis laboratory (labABI) at the CINVESTAV Irapuato, Mexico. He is a faculty member of two postgraduate programs: Plant Biotechnology and Integrative Biology. The labABI develops novel analytical platforms to study biological systems and food products, such as ambient ionization methods, mass spectrometry imaging tools, and mass spectrometry software for metabolomics and proteomics. Robert Winkler published about 100 articles in international magazines, including high-impact journals such as Nature, Analytical Chemistry, Angewandte Chemie, Talanta, etc. Besides, he holds patents on the technology developed in his group in MX, the USA, and Europe. In 2018/2019, he did a sabbatical stay at the Max Planck Institute of Ecological Chemistry, Jena, Germany.

In 2020, Robert Winkler published the first book he edited: Processing Metabolomics and Proteomics Data with Open Software: A Practical Guide, 1st edition.; New Developments in Mass Spectrometry Series. Royal Society of Chemistry, Cambridge, UK.
