Unravelling inulin molecules in food sources using a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization magnetic resonance mass spectrometry (MALDI-MRMS) pipeline Authors: Sung-Tong Chin, Berin A. Boughton, Melvin C.L. Gay, Alyce C. Russell, Yimin Wang, Vimalnath Nambiar, Mark P. McHenry, Elaine Holmes, Jeremy K. Nicholson, Ruey Leng Loo Paper	Inulin, a polysaccharide characterized by a β-2,1 fructosyl-fructose structure terminating in a glucosyl moiety, is naturally present in plant roots and tubers. Current methods provide average degrees of polymerization (DP) but lack information on the distribution and absolute concentration of each DP.
Assessing the effect of Maillard reaction products on the functionality and antioxidant properties of Amaranth-red seaweed blends Authors: Rishi Ravindra Naik, Qianyu Ye, Yong Wang, Cordelia Selomulya Paper	Rishi Naik’s research paper investigates alternative ways to utilise the Maillard conjugation process (used to ‘brown’ food and enrich its flavour) to develop nutraceutical and functional foods with enhanced health benefits. This research paper is in collaboration with UNSW Professor Cordelia Selomulya, Dr Qianyu Ye and Dr Yong Wang.
