Research summary
AI-generated

A.J. Trujillo studies food science and technology, focusing on how processing methods such as ultra-high pressure homogenization and non-thermal techniques affect the safety, quality, and nutritional properties of foods and beverages. The work covers dairy products (milk, cheese, yoghurt), plant-based drinks, human breast milk, and food safety topics like the detection of aflatoxin contaminants. Research also addresses microbial safety and the encapsulation of bioactive food ingredients.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
