Research Profile:Marena Manley joined the Department of Food Science in 1997 and currently holds the position of Full Professor. Her research focuses on the application of near-infrared spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging, primarily in the analysis of grains. More recently, her work has expanded to cover a diverse range of food-related topics, including honey adulteration, sourdough maintenance, chocolate refining and tempering, and the characterisation of gummy candy. She employs advanced multivariate data analysis techniques, with a particular emphasis on exploratory ANOVA-simultaneous component analysis, to interpret the effects of controlled experimental factors on spectral data within full-factorial experimental designs.

Research Profile:

Dr. Rip holds a PhD in Biotechnology with a specialization in food microbiology.  Her primary interests have always centered on food-borne pathogens and food safety. Her work at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases and later at Stellenbosch 肆客足球 (since 2017) solidified her dedication to food safety, molecular biology, and One Health research. Her work investigates the prevalence of foodborne pathogens across various origins, analysing their antimicrobial resistance profiles, sanitizer tolerance, and virulence and resistance mechanisms. Utilizing advanced methodologies, including whole genome sequencing, her research group aims to enhance the understanding and control of these pathogens to improve food safety and public health outcomes.
