Research
Couljenko’s research interests coincide with identified extension needs and constitute the use of innovative seafood processing techniques/technologies (involving but not limited to thermal, non-thermal, enzymatic, microbial, edible film and coating, physical, and nanotechnological processes) to yield seafood and seafood products that are of high microbiological, physicochemical, and sensorial quality. This includes the investigation of post-harvest fish and shellfish safety and quality during handling, processing, and storage. He is also interested in the development of value-added products and commodities through the utilization of seafood byproducts.
