Bio
I regard my research on cactus pears as being valuable, since increased droughts necessitates exploration of under-utilized crops that can withstand harsh
environmental conditions as is increasingly being observed in South Africa. SA is the only country in the world where 42 different cultivars of spineless cactus pears,
originally from the American Burbank collection, are found and propagated. The importance of this plant to humans and animals is immense. In many parts of the world it
is the only food available for humans and animals and it provides water, nutritional and functional ingredients. My current research aim is to explore the utility of cactus
pears as part of mainstream human nutrition in arid and impoverished regions. This includes using the plant as both fruit and vegetable, utilizing waste products and byproducts
as well as its application as functional ingredients.
Area(s) of Interest
Food chemistry, specifically the chemical changes in foods during processing, with a special interest in fruits, vegetables and dairy products.
