Food Science Fellow
Manoa Emeritus Professor James Moy was elected as one of the 25 fellows of the International Academy of Food Science and Technology in 2008. Moy is one of four chosen this year from the United States.
Moy was on the faculty of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources for 40 years, conducting research on tropical fruit irradiation and developing the technology and protocol to treat tropical fruits grown in Hawai'i as a quarantine treatment. Hawai'i became the first place in the world to use this technology in April 1995.
In 1993, Moy was elected a fellow of the Institute of Food Technologists and was the recipient of the IFT International Award in 2002.
