Tatjana Klepo spent eighteen days of professional training (from 12.06.2017 till 28.06.2017) at the Institute of Fats (Spanish Council for Scientific Research-CSIC) in Sevilla, Spain (http://www.ig.csic.es/contenido/ver/10/Inicio). The host was Dr Ana Gracia Perez Rubio, from the Department of biochemistry and molecular biology of plant products. During the training, the colleague improved her knowledge in the methodology of preparation and analysis of volatile compounds and polyphenol composition in olive leaf and olive oil.

Tatjana Klepo provela je stručno usavršavanje u trajanju od 18 dana (12.06.2017. do 28.06.2017.) na Insitutu za masti (Španjolski savjet za znanost – CSIC) u Sevilli, Španjolska (http://www.ig.csic.es/contenido/ver/10/Inicio). Domaćin je bila Dr. Ana Gracia Perez Rubio sa zavoda za biokemiju i molekularnu biologiju biljnih proizvoda. Kolegica je tijekom usavršavanja upotpunila znanje u pripremi i analizi hlapivih spojeva i sastava polifenola iz lista i ulja masline.

Filip Pošćić spent fifteen days of professional training (from 29.05.2017 till 12.06.2017) at the Research unit for Stable Isotope and Traceability at Edmund Mach Foundation in San Michele all’Adige in (Italy, http://www.fmach.it/eng). The host was Dr Federica Camin, a high cited scientist in the field of isotope and traceability of food products. The colleague improved his knowledge in the methodology of preparation and analysis of stable isotopes in olive oil by mass spectrometry. Twenty-eight samples from 14 different climatic area and geographic locations for H and O isotopes were processed. Additionally isotope analysis will serve as validation for a larger data from the Croatian Centre for Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (Zagreb).

Filip Pošćić je proveo stručno usavršavanje u trajanju od petnaest dana (29.05.2017 – 12.06.2017) na Odjelu za istraživanje stabilnih izotopa i sljedivosti u Institutu Edmund Mach iz San Michele all’Adige u Italiji (http://www.fmach.it/eng). Domaćin je bila dr. Federica Camin visoko citirana znanstvenica u domeni izotopa i sljedivosti prehrambenih proizvoda. Kolega se upoznao sa metodologijom pripreme i analize stabilnih izotopa u maslinovom ulju masenom spektrometrijom. Obrađena su 28 uzoraka iz 14 različitih regija i lokacija za H i O izotope. Dodatna analiza izotopa poslužiti će kao validacija za podatke s Hrvatskog centra za poljoprivredu, hranu i selo iz Zagreba dobivenih iz većeg broja uzoraka.

In the period from 13 to 27 May 2017, Mirella Žanetić  PhD spent two weeks of professional training in the field of olive oil analytics at the University of Cordoba, Spain. At the Department of Analytical Chemistry, under the mentorship of prof. Feliciana Priego Capote, she conducted instrumental analysis on monocultivar olive oil samples (LC-MS / MS) in order to investigate the individual bioactive compounds responsible for the health impact of  extra virgin olive oil.

U periodu od 13. do 27. svibnja 2017. dr.sc. Mirella Žanetić je provela dvotjedno stručno usavršavanje iz područja analitike maslinovih ulja, na Sveučilištu u Cordobi, Španjolska.  Na Odsjeku za analitičku kemiju, pod mentorstvom prof. Feliciana Priego Capotea, provodila je instrumentalne analize na uzorcima sortnih maslinovih ulja (LC-MS/MS) s ciljem određivanja pojedinačnih  bioaktivnih spojeva odgovornih za zdravstveni utjecaj ekstra djevičanskog maslinovih ulja.
