Research
Major Responsibilities/Research Interests
The central goal of my research program is to improve protein sustainability and human health through 3 distinctive yet interrelated research fields:
- Bioactive peptides, with the ultimate goal to develop food-derived bioactive peptides for the prevention and mitigation of oxidation, inflammation, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and osteoporosis.
- Egg science and technology, with the aim to strengthen the profitability of the growing egg industry through advancing the knowledge of egg for health and improvement of egg uses.
- Protein sustainability, to upcycle/reclaim food proteins from agriculture co-products for new applications.
Courses
AFNS 532 - Advanced Food Protein Chemistry and Technology
Chemistry and technology of food protein purification, modification, structure and functional properties. Food related proteins from animal and plant sources will be discussed. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
AFNS 599 - Advanced Agri-Chemical Analysis
Advanced analysis of food and agri-industrial materials with a focus on good laboratory practices (GLP), chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC), mass spectrometry, and other modern techniques from sample preparation to analysis of data. Not to be taken if credit received for NU FS 499. Prerequisite: NU FS 372 or consent of instructor.
NU FS 450 - Food Product Development
Design of concept, formulation, processing, packaging and labeling of a new food product and development of quality assurance and marketing strategies. Prototype development in the laboratory and testing of consumer acceptability. Prerequisite: NU FS 374. Pre- or corequisites: NU FS 312 and one of NU FS 311 or NU FS 353
NU FS 490 - Innovations in Food Science
Integrated exploration of emerging concepts and novel technologies and innovations in food science. Prerequisite: 60 units.
NU FS 499 - Advanced Agri-Chemical Analysis
Advanced analysis of food and agri-industrial materials with a focus on good laboratory practices (GLP), chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC), mass spectrometry, and other modern techniques from sample preparation to analysis of data. Prerequisite: NU FS 372.
