Research interests
Her research in food science promotes the development of the biofood industry using new processing and technologies treatments that ensure overall food quality and the valorization of food by-products to develop natural antioxydants, antimicrobials as new high-value products and of active edible coating or active biosourced biodegradable film packaging to reduce food and packaging waste. The development of new technologies (irradiation) or treatment combinations (heat, modified atmosphere packaging, fermentation, cold) helps reduce losses while ensuring the preservation of nutritional value and product safety. The development of new processes is carried out by various fields of activity such as food chemistry and biochemistry, physicochemical properties, and sensory evaluation of foods.
Effect of Technological Treatments on the Functionality of Proteins and Other Macromolecules.
Foods are composed of macromolecules mixed in an aqueous system: complex interactions exist between them that govern a host of properties such as nutritional value, functional properties, physical and microbiological stability, etc. Dr. Lacroix hypothesizes that it is possible to control the interactions between these different macromolecules during technological treatments and to obtain, for each type of food or protein-based mixture, physicochemical properties that are decisive for the preservation and functionality of foodstuffs, or for new high-value food products and others such as edible coatings.
Cross-linking treatments enable the development of biodegradable bioactive packaging (e.g., antioxidants, antimicrobials). We propose models for immobilizing and encapsulating bioactive molecules or components based on the structure and functionality of the bioactive agents to maximize and stabilize their functionality during storage and ensure significant yield in food.
We aim to develop foods enriched with bioactive ingredients for health improvement and to develop innovative food products with health-promoting properties. Study of secondary metabolites from plants and probiotic bacteria and their antioxidant, immunostimulatory, and antitumor properties. Phenolic compounds and other bacterial secondary metabolites are now recognized as micronutrients with invaluable biological properties for cellular health.
We study the various properties of food and plant extracts, purify active compounds, and identify them for characterization, mechanism studies, and the development of new cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and dietary supplement products with anti-free radical, anti-cancer, and other properties.
The Applied Food Science Research Laboratory is physically located at the Canadian Irradiation Centre. Irradiation is one of the technologies that can contribute to reducing the number of foodborne illnesses and can be used to develop biodegradable and bioactive bio-based packaging films. Despite the development of new technologies, more than 2 million people are affected annually by foodborne illnesses in Canada, costing more than $1.3 billion per year.
Canadian Irradiation Centre
The Canadian Irradiation Centre (CIC) is a unique center of excellence promoting irradiation technology and its applications. These objectives are achieved through fundamental and applied research, the training of highly qualified personnel, the development of new technologies, and technology transfer. The CIC develops new technologies in collaboration with INRS members in the field of preventive medicine. These new technologies are the result of collaborations between various spheres of activity such as food sciences, health, environment, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, epidemiology, comparative medicine, physical chemistry, and sensory evaluation.

Function and Biography
Dr. Monique Lacroix obtained her B.Sc.A. (1980) and her M.Sc. (1982) in food science and technology from Laval University. Recipient of a one-year fellowship in biotechnology in 1983, from the France-Quebec exchange program, she participated in a study of the differential absorption kinetics of milk protein hydrolysate in vivo in pigs, at laboratory of nutrition physiology, INRA, Jouy-en-Josas, France,. She was awarded a Ph.D in nutrition by Laval University in 1986, where she specialized in the improvement of nutritional value of canola proteins using enzymatic hydrolysis, chemical pre-treatment, fermentation and ultrafiltration in order to eliminate phenolic compounds and concentrate the protein hydrolysate. In 1987, she was appointed professor in the Research Centre in Sciences Applied to Food (CRESALA), founded by Dr. Marcel Gagnon in 1972, to collaborate with the food industry in developing new technologies, ensuring safe processing methods, improving food preservation, and developing new high quality products. In addition, she worked on combined irradiation treatments designed to improve food safety, while protecting nutritional value and reducing nutritional loss. Her research in food science is focused on improving the bio food industry through the exploitation of new processing technologies and treatments to ensure the overall quality of food as well as the use of food by-products to develop new high quality products. The improvement of new technologies (ex: irradiation) or combination of treatments results in a reduction of loss and maintains both product safety and nutritional value. Research in the different areas of food toxicology, microbiology, chemistry and biochemistry, physico-chemical properties and the sensory evaluation of food is focused on perfecting new processes.
Research objectives
1- Develop and apply new technologies and methods for food preservation, considering the diseases they can cause. Studies of host-pathogen interactions and food safety.
2- Study the mechanism of action of plant secondary metabolites, novel probiotic bacteria, and their metabolites (EPS, bacteriocins) for the development of new nutraceutical products and functional foods.
a) Propose new alternatives to antibiotics (resistant bacteria).
b) Prevent the development of nosocomial and infectious diseases.
c) Maintain good health and prevent the development of degenerative diseases through their immune system modulation, antioxidant, antimutagenic, and antiradical properties, and their ability to induce cancer cell apoptosis.
3- Utilize by-products from the food industry for the development of biodegradable bio-based packaging and bioactive nanocomposite films that can protect the environment by reducing waste from food and plastic packaging.
Biofilms
