Paul S. Dimick, Ph.D.

Teaching and Research Interests

Paul taught 14 courses at the undergraduate and graduate level, of which he developed seven. His major teaching responsibility was food chemistry and cacao science and technology. He conducted research on the origin of flavor constituents in food with an emphasis on bovine lipid metabolism; photochemical effects on milk flavor and nutrients; cocoa production and processing; and lipid crystallization.
