Research Interest

Studies of legume protein digestibility and storage quality; research on syntheses of sucrose fatty acid polyester fat substitutes, alternative fat replacers and methods to improve the quality of reduced fat cheeses; fundamental research on microbial inactivation and quality of foods treated with high intensity pulsed electric fields and ultra high hydrostatic pressures. Current research focuses on the implementation of ultra high pressures to improve cheese yield, attenuate adjunct cultures to accelerate aging and improve the flavor of Cheddar cheeses, and improve the hydrophobic functional properties of whey proteins.
