Speaker:
Dr. Rotimi Aluko, PhD, CFS, FCIFST, FIFT, FAOCS, Professor, University of Manitoba
Dr. Aluko’s work focuses on the production of bioactive peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis of food proteins. Of special interest are the antihypertensive, antioxidant, anticholinesterase and antiproliferative peptides. In addition to optimized enzymatic release of peptides, his research program also investigates their structure-function properties using in vitro, in vivo and chemometric approaches.
