Research Interests

My research interests focus on the characterization of biochemical changes which occur when vegetables are preserved by fermentation or acidification. Current work includes: (1) chemical and enzymatic changes in cell walls responsible for softening of acidified vegetables; (2) control of volatile flavor compounds during processing of pickled vegetables; (3) development of low salt preservation techniques; (4) development of analytical methods using HPLC and GC-MS to detect and quantitate components of vegetables.
