Overview

Background

Selina Fyfe is a research scientist in food science, food systems and metabolomics with a special interest in plant foods and fruit. Her PhD thesis focused on the Australian green plum (Buchanania obovata) and included research in food chemistry, metabolomics by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS), multivariate statistical analysis, nutrition profiles, food sensory analysis and descriptions, physical properties, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fruit growth and maturation, and responsible research with Australian native plant foods. Prior to food science, she was a multi-skilled medical scientist working in pathology laboratories and this background deepens her application of food science.
