Research Area:
Past research emphasis included mechanical deboning of poultry meat; emulsification properties of poultry meat and eggs; chemistry of poultry heme pigments and color stability of poultry meat; surimi-like processing of poultry meat; supercritical fluid extraction of lipid components and cholesterol from eggs, beef and poultry meat; improved functionality of egg proteins; and ultrafiltration of egg white.
