Harry NurstenAreas of interest
Lisa's areas of expertise are in sensory and consumer science as well as flavour and taste chemistry. She currently pursues three main research themes:
- investigating causes and influences of individual differences in sensory perception
- investigating consumer acceptability and bioactivity of vegetable
- improving the palatability of foods for older people.
