Dr. Juan Jose Cuenca Martinez | Best Researcher Award | Food Chemistry

Dr. Juan José Cuenca-Martínez is an emerging researcher specializing in dealcoholisation technologies, wine chemistry, and analytical evaluation of beverage quality. His work demonstrates growing scientific recognition, with a research portfolio consisting of 5 peer-reviewed publications, an h-index of 3, and over 39 citations, reflecting increasing academic impact and visibility. His contributions focus particularly on the development and assessment of GoLo very-low-temperature vacuum distillation technology, a novel approach designed to remove ethanol from wines while preserving physicochemical integrity, sensory value, and stability. His recent publications explore the effects of GoLo processing on parameters such as polyphenol concentration, sulphite reduction, turbidity shifts, pH balance, acidity retention, and volatile aromatic compounds, offering quantitative insight into the chemical and sensory trade-offs associated with alcohol reduction. Through multi-author collaboration within interdisciplinary teams, he has advanced knowledge on emerging beverage technologies and supported the growing global demand for health-conscious, alcohol-reduced, and non-alcoholic wine products. His research aligns with evolving consumer preferences, sustainability trends, and industry innovation toward safer, regulated, and high-quality alternatives to traditional alcoholic beverages. With a developing citation trajectory and contributions to open-access scientific dissemination, Cuenca-Martínez continues to build a meaningful research footprint supporting modernization and scientific advancement in the beverage technology sector.
