Dr. Roberta Hoskin
Dr. Roberta Hoskin is a Senior Researcher Scholar in the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences at the North Carolina State University’s Plants for Human Health Research Institute. Dr. Hoskin’s primary research interests are centered on technological strategies that promote, enhance, and preserve the health benefits of plant-derived phytochemicals, mainly polyphenolic/flavonoid bioactive compounds. She is particularly interested on the research and development of novel food ingredients and products using sustainable food sources, such as secondary streams of the food industry and underexploited dietary materials. Her green-chemistry approach aims to create high-quality ingredients containing physiologically relevant concentrations of stabilized phytoactives to provide sustainable, efficient and innovative solutions for the health-oriented industry.
