About the Author
His research interests have centred 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, leading into proteomic mapping. Other diagnostic methods developed relate to the evaluation of grain quality in wheat and barley, such as better methods for variety identification and for characterizing quality in starch and sprouted grain (as co-patentee of the Rapid ViscoAnalyser). Research involvement has also included elucidation of grain-quality variation due to environmental factors (heat stress, fertiliser use, CO2 levels and storage conditions).
In 2009, Dr Wrigley was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) “for service to primary industry, particularly to grain science as a researcher, and to the development of methods for improving wheat quality.
He is currently an Honorary Professor at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
Professor Harold Corke is Dean of Research and Professor of Biotechnology and Food Engineering at Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Shantou, PR China, and Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.
Most recently, he was a “Shanghai 1000 Plan foreign expert, and full-time Chair Professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology, School of Agriculture and Biology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, from 2016-2020. He was previously Professor in Food and Nutritional Sciences, School of Biological Sciences, The University of Hong Kong, where he spent 24 years. Prof. Corke is active in both basic and applied research in grain processing, genetics of grain quality, and chemistry of plant bioactives. He has published more than 260 international journal papers. He was editor of the Elsevier Encyclopedia of Food Grains (2016) and is currently editor of Journal of Cereal Science, and editor of LWT-Food Science and Technology.
Dr. Jon Faubion is the Charles Singleton Professor of Baking and Cereal Science in the Department of Grain Science, Kansas State University. Over his 35+ year career, he has had the sole or shared responsibility for teaching 9 different cereal or food science courses at Texas A&M University, The University of Minnesota and Kansas State. In 2011, he received the Excellence in Teaching Award from the American Association of Cereal Chemists International. He is a senior editor of Cereal Chemistry, and a member of the Board of Directors of the American Association of Cereal Chemists International. and an executive editor of Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. Prior to rejoining the department faculty in 2005, he directed the Applied Technology and Sensory Science Groups for the research and development arm of The Schwan Food Company.
