Dr. Charlene Van Buiten is an Assistant Professor of Food Science in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Colorado State University. Dr. Van Buiten’s research group, the Food Structure & Function Lab, uses a multidisciplinary approach to study nutrient interactions and their influence on food quality and healthfulness. Specifically, the Food Structure & Function Lab seeks to use nutrient interactions and processing to enhance the nutritional functionality of plant-based foods including wheat, berries, tea, and plant protein isolates. The Food Structure & Function Lab is proud to be supported by grant funding from the USDA-NIFA (Novel Foods & Innovative Manufacturing Technologies), Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station and California Table Grape Commission.
