His research is focused on food packaging, following as principal aim the reduction of volumes used for the packaging of foods through the evaluation of films at reduced thickness compared to conventional ones, with the aim of reducing the use of materials without compromising the packed produce quality.

The main research areas of Prof. Muratore are the following: study and extension of the shelf life of food products through the design of suitable packaging systems; optimization of packaging systems for fresh-cut fruit; study of the interactions between food and packaging materials, with special regards for the study of sorption mechanisms of aroma compounds by plastic films; study of transformation processed in the food industry and their influence on the quality of food products; determination of nutritional and chemical-physical characteristics of foods.

Prof. Giuseppe Muratore achieved the degree in Agricultural Science 110/110 cum laude in 1990 at the University of Catania; since 2015 he is associate professor in 07/F1 “Food Science and Technology, in the AGR/15 sector – Food Science and Technologies, at the Department Di3A – Section of Food Technologies, University of Catania.
