Research Profile

Some mammals such as deer, humans and rats avoid foods containing hydrolyzed casein. It is unknown how common this phenomenon is and why animals would avoid this source of protein. My research explores the behavioral responses of different species to casein hydrolysate. This behavioral work will contribute to an understanding of how properties of the hydrolysate interact with sensory systems, causing an individual to avoid or consume foods containing this protein source.
