Personal Statement My laboratory studies the low calorie ingredients, anti-inflammatory compounds in the diet, modified lipids and edible fiber. Previously, I developed several low calorie technologies (Nabisco) and satiety enhancing products as a fellow at Kraft Foods. Earlier, I served as chief technology officer of A.M. Todd Co. and the leader of the Food Science program at Monsanto, which was focused on delivery of intense sweeteners and development of reduced calorie ingredients. At Nabisco, I assembled and led the Fundamental Science program. Over recent years, my operation has been increasingly focusing on food ingredients to find novel avenues to combat for obesity and diabetes. The research has included the isolation of bioactive compounds including dietary fiber and anthocyanins from various sources and assessing their interaction with microbiota using human and rodent inoculum. At Monsanto I worked on purification of isoflavones and making modifications of the isolated isoflavones. B.
