Bio/Research
Tsopmo's research areas include food chemistry, food structures, analyses, and functionalities. He has made important contributions to the identification of bioactive peptides derived from foods for the reduction of oxidative stress, inhibition of enzymes, and secretion of hormones that are important to preserve the quality of foods, but also to the risk of developing diseases upon consuming formulated foods containing the active ingredients.
His group has developed methods to derive proteins from food by-products and release new peptides. Some of these peptides have been demonstrated to possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. While some are inhibitors of enzymes and regulators of hormones involve the digestion or absorption of sugar and fats and consequently be used to manage blood sugar or body fat.
