Bio/Research
Since earning a PhD in physical-organic chemistry from McGill University in 1977 and joining Memorial's Department of Biochemistry in 1987, Dr. Shahidi has become highly respected for his work is such areas as food chemistry, food biochemistry, seafood and aquaculture, nutraceuticals and flavour research. The professor of food and natural product chemistry in food science has often had his research recognized, including six patents for his work on alternative meat-curing systems.
Dr. Shahidi's efforts in the seafood area have been particularly significant to the development of that industry in Newfoundland and Labrador and elsewhere. Work done in his laboratories has resulted in the development of several innovative processes for full harvest ulitization and has gained the attention of at least one multinational company interested in commercialization of his processes. In Newfoundland, several companies are using Dr. Shahidi's technologies for utilization of seal carcass components and shellfish processing discards. Products include seal oil capsules, specialty lipids and seal protein capsules.
