Gonzalo Miyagusuku-Cruzado

Gonzalo Miyagusuku-Cruzado studies the chemistry of food and plant-based materials, focusing on bioactive compounds (natural plant chemicals that may have health effects), antioxidants, and how processing methods like fermentation and roasting affect these compounds. This work spans topics such as coffee processing, prediabetes-related metabolism, and evaluating alternative crops like yellowhorn seed oil for industrial use. Prospective students would likely work on lab-based chemical analysis combined with some biological or nutritional testing.

Publication output has grown unevenly but generally increased over the last decade, rising from occasional single papers in 2017-2019 to a more consistent 2-6 papers per year since 2020.
