My current research interest includes:
Characterization and purification of marine and terrestrial dietary fibers-to fractionate the dietary fibers and understand its physiochemical properties correlated it with its chemical composition.
Binding of mutagens/ carcinogens to dietary fiber-to understand the ability of dietary fiber fractions to bind the process-induced food mutagens, in vitro binding in the presence of enzymes e.g. salivary enzymes and gastrointestinal enzymes
Anticarcinogenic effects of dietary fiber-to understand the anticarcinogenic and antitumorogenic effects of the dietary fiber in vitro (cancer cell lines) and in vivo and to understand the underlying mechanism
