Newsletter December 2007Member Highlight: Clifford Hall, Ph.D.
Dr. Hall is a Food Scientist in the Cereal and Food Sciences Department at North Dakota State University (NDSU). He received a Ph.D. under the direction of Dr. Susan Cuppett at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1996. Dr. Hall is the current Past Chair of the LOQ Division and currently serves as a Senior Associate Editor for the Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society.
At NDSU, he teaches both graduate and undergraduate level courses, and is the faculty advisor for the Food Science/Food Safety Club. Dr. Hall advises three Ph.D. and four M.S. graduate research assistants and serves on 12 graduate committees for students in five different academic programs.
The primary focus of his research is creating functional foods and foods with novel ingredients. His research deals with phytochemicals from commodities such as canola, raisins and flaxseed. Stability of phytochemicals under model food processing conditions is also part of his research. At the upcoming annual meeting he will present the stability of flaxseed-fortified bread in the LOQ 1 session. The linolenic acid in flaxseed is susceptible to oxidation, thus understanding the stability issues of this fatty acid in complex systems is essential for successful functional food development using flaxseed as an omega-3 source. Other research involves the application of natural antioxidants in oil-based model systems. Some of this work includes modifying chemical structures of natural antioxidants.
If you are an LOQ member and know a division member to highlight, please send a short (2 paragraph) document to the newsletter editor Clifford Hall (Clifford.hall@ndsu.edu).
