#### **Noelia Tena**

Noelia Tena is Assistant Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Seville. She holds a degree in Chemical Sciences (2005), a Master's Degree in High Specialisation in Fats (2006) and a PhD from the University of Seville in 2010. She is currently part of the editorial team of the journal *Antioxidants* as thematic advisor. Tena's research focuses on the analysis of the characterisation and sensory quality of food matrices. Her research line, "food safety and quality", is aimed at developing analytical methods to detect, quantify and prevent possible food fraud while guaranteeing food integrity. She currently focuses her interest on the impact of functional foods on health, in particular on the characterisation of these compounds in different matrices, the study of the antioxidant activity of some chemical compounds such as anthocyanin and polyphenols, and their role in human health and disease.
