Research Interests

My research interests are in the areas of food and human nutrition.

Current emphasis is being given to several areas, among them are the metabolism of beta-carotene including cleavage mechanisms, the analysis of the cis isomers of beta-carotene in both fruits and vegetables, and in human sera and the effects of processing on the cis isomer content of foods.

In addition, studies in other areas of nutrition are currently being conducted and include: the use of immobilized enzymes for the assessment of process induced protein modification and construction of chimeric proteins utilizing immobilized transglutaminase.
