Amandaa Brewer warns a shortage of large-molecule chromatography experts, as practitioners retire, could leave the next generation without the fundamentals.

Amandaa K. Brewer received her Ph.D. in analytical chemistry in 2010 from Florida State University (FSU) and her BS in chemistry from Roanoke College in 2005. From 2011 to 2015, she worked at Tosoh Bioscience LLC, where she was first the GPC Technical Specialist and later advanced to the GPC Sales Support Leader. In 2015, Amandaa joined Arkema Inc., at their North America Research and Development site in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. She is currently a senior research scientist in the Analytical and Systems Research Group at Arkema and heads the Gel Permeation Chromatography Laboratory.

The Application Notebook
The need to increase the use of low valued co-products derived from the processing of sugar beets has prompted the investigation of the structure of the pectin extracted from sugar beet pulp. The characterization of sugar beet pectin is essential as it has the potential to be used in the production of industrial products, e.g., as an emulsifying agent in food systems.
