Biographical note

Leonardo Sepúlveda Torre, PhD, is a Researcher at the School of Chemistry at the Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila, Saltillo, Coahuila, México, where he is also a member of the Bioprocesses and Microbial Biochemistry Group. In 2011, he made a research stay at the Institute of Biotechnology and Bioengineering at the University of Minho, Portugal, where he worked as a collaborator at the Center of Biological Engineering, with the link project Biotechnologies for Regional Food Biodiversity in Latin America. He carried out his postdoctoral program at the same institution, writing on “Assisted Extraction by Fermentation of Polyphenols from Agro-industrial Waste.”

Juan Carlos Contreras-Esquivel, PhD, is a Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Applied Glycobiotechnology at the Food Research Department, School of Chemistry, the University of Coahuila, Mexico. He is involved in teaching undergraduate and graduate students with a special focus in food science and food bioscience. His research interests are mainly applied glycol technology for polysaccharide extraction by using ecofriendly technologies (enzymatic, microwave, pulsed electric field, ultrasonic), and oligosaccharide production by degradative or biosynthetic routes.
