FADI M. ARAMOUNI
Extension specialist, professor of food science

 

Fadi AramouniSome people may wonder why, though they eat a low-fat diet, they cannot lose weight. Fadi M. Aramouni, extension specialist and professor of food science at Kansas State University, cautions that people on diets tend to ignore calories and focus on fat content alone.

Aramouni is an expert on food product development and food safety. He also developed a "light" caramel popcorn with half the calories of regular caramel corn. He has been responsible for assisting small companies with nutrition labeling and chemical food analysis. In 1996, he received the Faculty Extension Excellence Award from the College of Human Ecology.

Aramouni received his bachelor's degree in 1977 in biochemistry and his master's degree in 1980 in food technology from the American University of Beirut. He went on to receive his doctorate in food science in 1986 from Louisiana State University. He has been at K-State since 1989.

Aramouni can be reached at 785-532-1668 or faramoun@k-state.edu.
