RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr. Fadi Aramouni is the Research Leader for the Grain Quality Structure Research Unit with the USDA-ARS Center for Grain and Animal Health Research in Manhattan, KS since 2019. From 1990-2019, Fadi  was a Professor/Extension Specialist with the Food Science Institute at K-State where he established the Kansas Value-added Foods Laboratory and taught classes in Food Product Development and HACCP.  His research program as a faculty member focused on gluten-free products especially from sorghum. In his current position, Fadi continues to investigate food uses of sorghum, in particular looking at fermentation processes to add value to the grain through the creation of innovative consumer products and to improve the protein availability of sorghum.
