Research Interest

My research (75%) interests have been focusing on several aspects including: (1) functional food/nutraceuticals, which focuses on characterizing the impact biochemicals in foods and agricultural products, especially those health benefiting chemicals from medicinal plants, and inducing bioactive phytochemicals through various techniques of chemical stresses, fermentation, genetic engineering, etc; (2) food flavor chemistry, which encompasses determining the volatile chemical profiles of interested foods and non-food agricultural matrix by using modern state-of-art instruments, such as GC-MS, LC-MS, etc, and studying mechanisms and pathways of characteristic flavor formations; (3) Food safety on rapid chemical analyses and development of antibodies for medicinal therapeutic research combined with the nanotechnology; and (4) making biodiesel and biofuels from agricultural byproducts.
