In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Food science
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Lloyd W. Rooney spends much of his time researching Sorghum, Agronomy, Food science, Proanthocyanidin and Tannin. His Sorghum research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Flavanone, Flavonoid, Polyphenol and Extraction. In general Agronomy, his work in Cultivar is often linked to Foundation linking many areas of study.

His research links Phenols with Food science. His studies in Proanthocyanidin integrate themes in fields like Natural food, Plant production and Hybrid. His work in Tannin tackles topics such as Starch which are related to areas like Digestion.
