Scientific topic 1: Alzheimer’s disease (AD)

Since 2010, I’ve been intensively searching for acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors in the prevention of AD. As the result, a considerable number of new cholinesterase inhibitors from various foods and herbs have been isolated and characterized (Baranowska-Wójcik, Szwajgier, Winiarska-Mieczan 2020; Szwajgier, Borowiec, Zapp 2020; Szwajgier, Borowiec, Zapp 2019; Szwajgier, Baranowska-Wójcik, 2019; Szwajgier, 2015; Borowiec, Szwajgier D, Targoński, Demchuk, Cybulska, Czernecki, Malik, 2014; Szwajgier 2014; Szwajgier 2013). Moreover, I significantly improved the standard method for the determination of Ellman's anticholinesterase activity (Szwajgier, Baranowska-Wójcik 2019). We investigated the effect of food processing on changes in the content of cholinesterase inhibitors in various food products. Last but not least, in recognition of our achievements in this topic, we have published several reviews in recognized scientific journals in this field.

Scientific topic 2: Antioxidant, antiradical and anticancer activity of food components

 

In this topic, I’ve been intensively studying, in collaboration with various colleagues and research teams, compounds as well as products (foods and herbs) exerting antioxidant, antiradical and anticancer activities. The greatest achievement in this topic is the production of proprietary plant preparations with antioxidant and anticancer activity (Kowalska, Olejnik, Szwajgier, Olkowicz, 2017; Borowiec, Szwajgier, Olejnik, Kowalska, Targoński, 2016). On the basis of these results, I designed, produced and tested a complex polyphenolic preparation which right now receives patent protection. This preparation was also used with success in some studies concerning the application (e.g., in bread: Szwajgier, Paduch, Kukuła-Koch, Polak-Berecka, Waśko 2020). Moreover, the nutraceutical made on the basis of this polyphenol preparation is currently subject to another patent procedure.

Scientific topic 3: Lactic acid bacteria, dairy products and rheology

 

In these studies, I focused on several aspects including the enrichment of dairy products with phenolic compounds, interactions of food components, lactic acid bacteria and food contaminants (e.g., heavy metal ions). The rheological properties of final food products were studied. The main achievement, in my opinion, is the elevation of the content of antioxidant phenolic acids in dairy products, which were previously known as poor sources of polyphenolic antioxidants.

Scientific topic 4: Malting and brewing

In this topic, I focused on the investigating of the role of polyphenols, mainly phenolic acids, in the formation of the antioxidant potential of malts, worts and beers. In particular, I focused on the effect of process parameters during milling, mashing (temperature, enzyme preparations applied, time of process etc.) on the antioxidant activity of the final product. As the result, the optimization of the malting and mashing in terms of increasing the health-promoting properties of beer has been made.
