Professor Benkeblia is Professor of Crop Science and Head of the Laboratory of Crop Science in the Faculty of Science and Technology, UWI Mona. He is also the Coordinator of the Agricultural Programmes at UWI-Mona. Prof. Benkeblia holds a B.Sc., M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Food Sciences (Algeria), and a Ph.D. in Crop Sciences (Japan). His main research areas are (i) environmental stresses and physiology and biochemistry of crops, (ii) pre- and postharvest metabolism of fresh crops, and (iii) postharvest metabolism of fresh crops. has been working on food sciences and technologies from 1991. He started his work on crops physiology and biochemistry, preservation technologies such as irradiation, chemicals, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), rare gases and other natural biological compounds (essential oils). From 2000, he focused his research on the postharvest metabolism of carbohydrates, mainly fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and fructans, and their impact on crops qualities. He also introduced new tools of "Metabolomics" in his research to investigate the biochemistry and the biological system of the biosynthesis and metabolism of FOS in fructan-containing plants (using asparagus and onion as models). He works closely with the Caribbean Centre for Research in Biosciences (CCRIB)
