Dr. Chikere Nkwonta is a Researcher in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University. His work focuses on advanced analytical techniques like chromatographic tandem mass spectrometry (GC/GCMS, HPLC/LCMS) to study nutrients and biomarkers in biological systems, including animals, plants, microbes, and humans. Key research areas include targeted metabolomics, analysis of FAMEs, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), polyphenols, steroids, mycotoxins, biotoxins, and enzyme inhibitor residues. Recent publications emphasize edible biopolymer coatings for postharvest crop preservation, NBPT’s effects on food structure, and chitosan-based coatings for sweet potato stability.
His research integrates analytical chemistry with agricultural and food science applications. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned. No advisees/students are listed. He contributes to interdisciplinary studies at Durham University’s Department of Biosciences.
