UNC Greensboro: Center for Research Excellence in Bioactive Food Components

  • The specific bioactive food components to be studied will be determined based on the interests and research of the scientists in the Center, and the research teams they will develop. The bioactives to be studied may include components of blueberries, raspberries, and other berries (flavonoids like anthocyanins that may act as antioxidants), tomatoes (lycopene that may have anticancer properties), or red wine (resveratrol that may influence heart health).
