Rafael Jiménez-Flores works on dairy food science, with a focus on milk fat components (especially the milk fat globule membrane), milk proteins, and dairy-derived enzymes and peptides. His research spans chemical modification of dairy fats and oils, fermentation and probiotic microbiology, and how dairy ingredients affect infant and intestinal health. This work bridges food chemistry and biological/health applications, often in collaboration with a sizable research group.
