WRITER: THE AU LIBRARY
The Theophane Venard School of Biotechnology at Assumption University of Thailand (AU) continues to push the boundaries of food science innovation, earning a prestigious Scopus Q1 publication in Antioxidants, a leading journal renowned for cutting-edge research in biotechnology and sustainability.
Led by a powerhouse team of researchers—Ms. Ting Bai, Asst. Prof. Dr. Patchanee Yasurin, Asst. Prof. Dr. Suvaluk Asavasanti and Dr. Roungdao Klinjapo—the study explores the classification, antioxidant, and antibacterial mechanisms of NPCs, while identifying cutting-edge applications that enhance meat preservation, food safety, and sustainability.
Their latest study, “Recent Advances, Challenges, and Functional Applications of Natural Phenolic Compounds in the Meat Products Industry” showcases the transformative potential of natural phenolic compounds (NPCs)—plant-derived antioxidants that serve as a sustainable, natural alternative to synthetic preservatives in the meat industry.

Natural Phenolic Compounds: The Future of Meat Preservation
NPCs have been scientifically proven to extend the shelf life of meat products by reducing oxidation and microbial growth. Found in both edible and inedible parts of plants—including fruits, vegetables, herbs, and trees—these compounds are revolutionizing food preservation while aligning with sustainable agriculture. By utilizing agricultural by-products, researchers are creating eco-friendly solutions that minimize waste while enhancing food safety.
“This research is a milestone in sustainable food innovation,” said Asst. Prof. Dr. Patchanee Y., Dean of the Theophane Venard School of Biotechnology. “Our team is passionate about advancing eco-friendly preservation techniques that benefit consumers, industry, and the environment.”
The inclusion of this research in a Scopus Q1 journal—one of the highest global academic rankings—solidifies AU’s reputation as a biotechnology leader in ASEAN and beyond.
