Research summary
AI-generated

Harrison Helmick's research focuses on food science, particularly the behavior of plant-based proteins, fibers, and pigments in food products. Work includes studying how proteins and polysaccharides interact and stabilize (for example, in plant-based egg substitutes and anthocyanin pigments), how food processing byproducts like citrus pomace can be reused to make more nutritious snack extrudates, and how ingredients affect the texture and quality of baked and processed foods. This research combines food chemistry, material properties (rheology, or flow and deformation behavior of foods), and some machine learning methods for analyzing food quality.
