University of Minnesota. Dept. of Agricultural Biochemistry.
Hide Profile
The Division of Agricultural Biochemistry was established in 1913 within the Institute of Agriculture, building on an active program of research on the chemistry of cereal grains and cereal products begun in 1888 when Daniel N. Harper was appointed chemist of the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. In 1892, Harper published his findings on milling and baking tests conducted on wheat. Clyde H. Bailey was appointed as cereal technologist in 1911 and developed a curriculum to study wheat grains and the physical and physico-chemical properties of wheat. In the 1920s, the division was renamed the Department of Agricultural Biochemistry (references to the department / division in the minutes of the Board of Regents are inconsistent). In 1963 the Department of Agricultural Biochemistry was renamed the Department of Biochemistry and moved from the Institute of Agriculture to the newly established College of Biological Sciences.
