Research Interests
My research involves basic and applied
studies that relate to the chemistry of peanuts and peanut-derived
ingredients. Examples of recent projects include: 1) The
rheological characterization of defatted peanut meal across
a range of conditions to improve the texture of new and
existing products containing this ingredient. 2) Isolation,
characterization and enzymatic hydrolysis of peanut proteins
for the production of bioactive peptides suitable for use
as food ingredients. 3) Rheological investigations of peanut
oil derived from various sources with emphases on both food
science and biodiesel applications.
