Research

Research in my lab is centered around two overarching objectives:

1. To determine factors that influence the quality, safety, or nutrition of edible seeds or constituents of these seeds during production, harvest, storage, or processing; and
2. To determine factors that promote healthier food choices by consumers

Teaching and/or Extension Activities

• Food Carbohydrates
• Food Chemistry
• Food Product Development
• Sensory Evaluation
