Cereal Grains

Informationen zum Autor Dr Colin Walter WRIGLEY, B.Sc. (Hon.), M.Sc., Ph.D., FRACI, CChem. Colin Wrigley's 45 years in cereal chemistry research have earned him international recognition, in the form of several international and Australian research awards. His work is described in over 500 research publications, including several patents, a series of eight books on Australian cereal varieties and many edited books. His research interests centre on the characterisation of cereal-grain proteins in relation to processing quality. This has involved developing new methods of protein fractionation, including gel isoelectric focusing and its two-dimensional combination with gel electrophoresis. Other diagnostic methods developed relate to the evaluation of grain quality in wheat and barley, such as better methods for variety identification, and for characterising quality in starch and sprouted grain (as co-patentor of the Rapid ViscoAnalyser). Research involvement also includes elucidation of grain-quality variation due to environmental factors (heat stress, fertiliser use and storage conditions). Currently, Dr Wrigley is an Honorary Research Fellow at Food Science Australia, in Sydney, and a Consultant to the Value-Added Wheat Cooperative Research Centre. This role includes acting as a mentor to the next generation? of cereal chemists. Ian Batey has over thirty years of research experience in cereal science. He has published widely and been an Associate Editor of the journal Cereal Chemistry (AACCI) for eighteen years. He is a past recipient of the Founders Award of the Cereal Chemistry Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. Diane (Di) Miskelly has over forty years' experience in cereal science and technology in public and private sectors. Including consultancies to wheat, milling and food industries, wheat and grains research, Asian product research and development and manufacturing and commercial customer and internal company technical support in raw materials and processing of Asian and Middle eastern end products. She is widely published in cereals and grains in general, with a recent focus on publications in Asian foods.
