Enzymic Modification of Food

ID: 715900 North Carolina, USA

Request Expert

Expert's research in the areas of enzymic modification of food constituents, nutritional and therapeutic properties of cultured dairy foods, cholesterol metabolism, and food processing has resulted in over 60 publications in refereed journals. He has modified proteins and lipids to improve utilization of currently underutilized raw materials. Examples of his work in this area include the economic production of cocoa butter substitutes by enzyme-mediated transesterification reactions and the industrial production of fatty acids through enzymatic hydrolysis.

Expert has been involved in the standardization of methodologies for determining functionality; the modification of proteins for functionality; and the determination of relationships between protein structure and functionality.


Expert has isolated and characterized compounds from bovine milk capable of inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis and of inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells. He is also conducting research on yogurt quality as it is affected by manufacturing variables and the implantation of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract of experimental animals.


Expert has controlled the enzymatic browning in domestically produced mushrooms; improved quality attributes of frozen sweet corn products; and developed frozen soups for institutional use, ice cream and ice cream formulations, and nutritious beverages for physical fitness enthusiasts.

As a private consultant, Expert was responsible for the technical development and mini-market testing of frozen deserts, frozen yogurt, frozen soups, infant food, and milk analog.
