UHMC researchers study how common food preservatives disrupt enzyme activity
Students and researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College (UHMC) are diving into the effects food preservatives have on enzyme activity inside the mouth with the support of a federally-funded grant program.
UH Maui students and faculty have work on microbiota published in peer reviewed journal
“Less than 1% of undergraduates have published in a peer reviewed journal so this is quite an accomplishment,” said Dr. Sally Irwin PhD, a UHMC faculty member that contributed to the work. She spoke to the significance of the team’s findings, which she said is important to the field of health and the human microbiome as related to some common food preservatives.
