Biological Systems and Organisms
As a researcher, my research endeavor focuses on Biodiversity, Phylogenic taxonomy and Technological Characterization of desirable microorganisms associated with the traditional African fermented foods during the spontaneous fermentation process and the development of starter culture for optimized and controlled fermentation of these foods, Physicochemical characterization of fermented foods and investigating their microbial quality. I specialize in Food and Industrial Microbiology, Food Quality Control and Assurance.
