Research Areas

My research focuses on the functionalities and flavor impacts of food proteins. My research interests include agricultural by-products utilization (rice bran), novel protein development and characterizations (insect and algae proteins), utilization of plant and algae proteins in alternative meat products, and flavor characterization of protein-rich foods. I am currently researching rice bran protein extraction and utilization in gluten-free pasta, stabilization of C-phycocyanin, a blue colorant derived from spirulina, and characterization and synthesis of meat and seafood flavors from alternative proteins.
