Clare Flakelar

Clare Flakelar is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Behavioural and Health Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences. Her work focuses on the intersection of analytical chemistry and food science, particularly the characterization of bioactive compounds in edible oils.

Research Interests:

• Analytical methodology for lipid characterization
• Phytochemical preservation in industrial processing
• Bioactive compound stability during storage
• Environmental impact of food production
• Lipid-oxidation dynamics

Publication Trends: Her research spans 2013–2022, emphasizing analytical techniques for canola oil constituents (tocopherols, carotenoids, phytosterols) and environmental applications. Key themes include charge-remote fragmentation for fatty acid analysis, industrial processing optimization, and sustainable practices.
