Areas of Research: 

• Functional Foods with special interest in by-products of rice processing.
• Tocotrienols, gamma-oryzanol and wax components of rice bran as functional ingredients in food products.
• Supercritical fluid or microwave assisted extraction and high performance liquid chromatography as innovative means to obtain functional components of interest.

Future Research:

• Although limited due to imminent retirement, I still feel that I will be involved with the development of methods to increase the utilization of rice and rice components in healthy diets.
