Bio/Research
Professor Varoujan Yaylayan's research area involves the study of different aspects of interaction of reducing sugars with amino acids and molecular transformations of reducing sugars. His main focus is the study of the mechanism of thermal generation of aromas and toxicants through Maillard reaction and development of methods for the generation and detection of important intermediates using Py/GC/MS, HPLC, FTIR and focused microwave radiation. Elucidation of reaction mechanisms through the use of 13C- and 15N-labeled reactants is one of the main objectives of the research program. His other research interests include applications of oxidative pyrolysis and post-pyrolytic derivatization techniques and microwave-assisted synthesis and extraction.
