Early life and education

Martín-Belloso is a native of Calahorra.[1] She attended the Colegio de las Teresianas, which she graduated in 1976.[2] She studied chemical sciences at the University of Zaragoza. She earned her bachelor's degree in 1982 and her PhD at the same institution in 1991.[3] She completed her PhD research at the Asociación de Investigación de Industrias de conservas vegetales (the National Technical Center of Canned Vegetables) in San Adrián.

Research and career

Martín-Belloso was made a Professor at the University of Lleida in 1992.[4] She leads the Department of Food Technology. Her interests include food preservation using pulsed electric fields and food product development.[5][6] Martín-Belloso has studied coatings, including emulsion based nanostructures, that incorporate active ingredients such as antimicrobials, anti-browning compounds and texture enhancers.[7][8]

Academic service

In 2016 Martín-Belloso became the first Spanish Woman to join the International Union of Food Science and Technology.[9][10] She is Director of the Doctoral School at the University of Lleida.[11][12] She is the Spanish Ambassador for the Global Harmonization Task Force.[13] She was elected the President of the European Federation of Food Science and Technology in 2019.[14][15]
