研究领域

My earlier career research interests (MSc and PhD) were related to green tea. I investigated aqueous extraction methods for the isolation of the bioactive components from green tea under household and laboratory conditions. I developed methods to produce decaffeinated green tea to meet changing market demands. I also prepared high caffeinated green tea extracts and decaffeinated green tea catechin extracts for utilisation in the food industry. My current interests have extended to the identification, extraction and purification of bioactive compounds from various natural sources such as medicinal plants, native fruits, algae and sea sponges for utilisation in the food and pharmaceutical industries. I am interested in the utilisation of waste from food processing to add value to the food industry. I am also interested in the development of functional foods from natural extracts, and the improvement of the postharvest shelf-life of fresh produce through the application of packaging technologies and edible coatings.
