Arlete Maria Lima Marques

Arlete Maria Lima Marques is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Green Technology (IGT), University of Southern Denmark (SDU), with a focus on food science and culinary technology. She contributes to SDU Biotechnology through advanced research on plant-based meat analogues and sensory analysis.

Research interests include food engineering, texture perception, and consumer acceptance of sustainable food products. Her work integrates instrumental texture analysis with sensory profiling, particularly for plant-based and animal-free food alternatives.

Recent research explores the application of Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy for food material characterization, enzymatic treatment of fat droplets, and solid fat content optimization in culinary preparations.

She collaborates on projects like Advanced optical microscopy for imaging biological material in culinary preparations, which involves interdisciplinary teams across gastronomy, physics, and biotechnology.
