Dr. Gerald Tannock  (b. ----, d. ----)

Prev  | Next )
POSITION(S) / JOB TITLE(S):
Professor
AREAS OF EXPERTISE:
He is recognized as a renowned microbiologist working with the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract and probiotics;creation of Lactobacillus-free mice to investigate the impact of lactobacilli on the microflora and enzymatic activities of that flora, and the discovery that lactobacilli are the major contributors of bile salt hydrolase in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, he is a pioneer in the development and application of molecular techniques (ribotyping, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) for the analysis of the microbial ecology of the gastrointestinal tract. His research on the microbiology of the gastrointestinal tract has implications for human health and for the dairy processing industry. His research interests also include the ecology of foodborne pathogens in both animal and food systems;probiotics in both pharmaceutical and food applications. Meat scientist with a specialization in meat processing will study the biochemical basis of the interaction of muscle proteins with other meat and non-meat ingredients and the effects of processing on ingredient functionality, product quality and microstructure. Other meat or non-meat ingredients could include non-traditional ingredients that have health promoting/nutraceutical properties. Other research areas are expected to include: development of new technologies to continuously monitor meat processing parameters; studying mechanisms related to meat emulsion stabilization; improving methods to decontaminate fresh meat; and developing low/no fat meat products. Phytochemist will expand the research programs on the identification, characterization and isolation of phytochemicals (bioactive chemicals produced by plants). The knowledge of chemistry and stability of phytochemicals is essential for extraction and utilization of these high-value bioactive components as nutraceuticals and as ingredients in functional foods.
