A strong foundation in analytical chemistry combined with food chemistry and biochemistry have established this group as a prime collaborator with industry, universities and other research councils.
Emphasis is placed on chromatography, i.e. high performance liquid chromatography and high speed countercurrent chromatography, and high throughput biochemical techniques, i.e. micro-plate based antioxidant and enzymatic assays.
Current projects focus on agro-processing, sensory analysis, chemometric analysis and phenolic characterisation of South African herbal teas.
Sensory wheels for the South African herbal tea Industry.
