Based on double layer capacitance theory I showed that the tin coating had become compromised by sulphur containing pesticides. Thermal processing of foods I simplified thermal processing calculations and develop the 'Approved Persons Course' for Australian Canned Food Industry to meet US import requirements.I developed methods to freeze dry herbs and spices. PackagingI was influential in reducing lead exposure arising from consumption foods. Contamination by the estrogenic compounds bisphenol A, its diglycidyl ethers and congeners. We worked collaboratively with the Australian canned food industry to ensure compliance of Australian canned foods to stringent European requirements. Active packaging - Developed Active Packaging for antimicrobial packaging potentially useful in the shipping of table grapes, wines and dried fruits. Intelligent packaging - Developed tamper evident devices based on irreversible chemical reactions in thin films.High Pressure ProcessingStudied the effect of processing (especially HPP) on the integrity and performance of packaging materials. Characterized the failure of common packaging material to perform at pressures greater than 100 MPaDeveloped a doneness indicator for High pressure processing applicationsDeveloped new methods for measuring temperature and other parameters inside High Pressure environments (>100 MPa)Water activityOnce I became aware of the critical role of water activity I sought to find ways to enable the food industry measure water activity. I developed a really simple method to measure water activity in foods that could be used to measure hundreds of samples in day a dramatic improvement in productivity. Dairy IndustryDeveloped a new method for the rapid preparation of ß-lactose from whey. Developed methods for the determination of amorphous lactose in milk powders. Show less
