Dr. Jae Park, a professor of food science and technology, specializes in rheological and chemical characterization of seafood muscle proteins and their interaction with other ingredients and/or physico-chemical components from surimi production to utilization. In addition, thermal and non-thermal properties of fish proteins have been investigated using ohmic heating, radio frequency, electron beam, and micro DSC. Recently solubility of fish muscle proteins at acid- and alkali-aided methods and their gelation characteristics at various ionic strengths also became my research areas.

Prof. Park founded the OSU Surimi Technology School in 1993 (Astoria, OR), in 1996 (Bangkok, Thailand) and in 1999 (Paris, France) and has successfully managed the school.
