VINIFICATION AND BIOPROCESSING
Our research is tailored to match the industry high demand for new knowledge and expertise
on the vinification and healthy characteristics of southern wines. We conduct fundamental
research in healthy qualities of southern grapes and wines and provide training and
experiential learning opportunities for students and industry clientele in grape and
small fruit enological characteristics and vinification qualities.Ongoing research projects range from wine analysis and wine sanitation to understanding,
characterization, and purification, of potential grape allergens; antioxidant capacities
of phytochemicals in muscadine grapes; understanding the effect of grape phytochemicals
in fighting obesity; phytochemical bioavailability and efficacy in preventing chronic
diseases.
