Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher focuses on dairy food science, particularly the composition and health effects of milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and milk phospholipids. Work spans extracting and characterizing these dairy components, studying how they interact with proteins and bacteria, and testing their effects on gut health and metabolic markers in both lab settings and human clinical trials. The research bridges food processing engineering with nutrition and microbiology.
