Keith R. Cadwallader
Director Illinois Center for Soy Foods
Associate Professor of Food Chemistry
Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Dr. Cadwallader's current research interests are on the development and application of analytical techniques for the identification, quantification, and characterization aroma (odor)-active constituents of food, agricultural and industrial materials by combined use of sensory and instrumental techniques. He has additional research interests in the development and characterization of flavoring materials derived or modified from plant/animal/microbiological materials. Dr. Cadwallader's teaching interests include food analysis, food chemistry, flavor chemistry and analysis, and sensory evaluation techniques.

Barbara P. Klein
Co-Director Illinois Center for Soy Foods
Professor of Foods and Nutrition (Emerita)
Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign


Dr. Klein's research addresses alterations in food quality that occur during storage, processing, and preparing foods for human consumption. The changes can be monitored by sensory evaluation and nutritional and microbiological assessment of home and commercially processed foods. Her research is focused on sensory evaluation methodology development and assessment, emphasizing reduced-sodium and low-fat foods; development and evaluation of high soy protein foods such as snacks, cereals, and dairy analogs; and factors affecting phytochemical and nutrient retention in vegetables. Research funding totaling more than $1,000,000 has been granted from federal (United States Department of Agriculture) and industry sources (Campbell Soup Company, Kraft Foods, General Mills and Pillsbury/Green Giant, Midwest Advanced Food Manufacturing Alliance, Illinois and Ohio Soybean Operating Boards, and C-FAR, an Illinois consortium).
