Dr. John C. Beaulieu
Plant Physiologist, USDA ARS
Dr. John C. Beaulieu performs independent and collaborative investigations with rice sprouting and beverage formulations. Further characterization of health-promoting phytonutrients in industrially sprouted and germinated brown rice, high-protein rice, red and purple rice is planned into the future CRIS project (2021-2025). This includes developing and characterizing value-added products (freeze dried powder, flours and ingredient formulations). Dr. Beaulieu's plant physiology and fresh-cut fruit and not-from-concentrate beverage experience is continuously sought out and he remains active in these areas. He is an Adjunct Professor in the LSU School of Nutrition and Food Sciences. He has authored or co-authored 60 publications. Dr. Beaulieu is listed in Stanford University's Top 2% of World's Scientists, based on "a comprehensive database of a sufficiently large number of most-cited scientists across science", per Ioannidis et al., 2020 (Plos Biology).
