Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Renee Terrell Threlfall's research focuses on food science, particularly the sensory and quality aspects of fruits and beverages. Her work has investigated methods to optimize consumer preferences for fruit juice blends, including black cherry, Concord grape, and pomegranate, as well as Muscadine grape juice. She has also examined the impact of enological methods and variety on the resveratrol levels in wine. Threlfall has explored strategies to manage yeast contamination in juice and wine, including the use of dimethyldicarbonate as an alternative to sulfur dioxide. Her research extends to the yield and nutraceutical potential of Muscadine cultivars grown in Arkansas. She has published 86 papers, with 1,008 citations, and holds an h-index of 19. Key collaborators include John R. Clark, Luke R. Howard, Margaret Worthington, and Andrea L. Myers, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
