Research summary
AI-generated

Deandrae Smith's research focuses on food engineering methods for drying, processing, and decontaminating grains, especially rice and corn, using microwave, radiofrequency, and infrared heating technologies. The work examines how these treatments affect food quality, safety (such as reducing fungal contamination and controlling microbial communities), and physical/chemical properties like milling yield and fiber structure. This research sits at the intersection of food science and agricultural engineering, aimed at improving grain processing efficiency and safety.
