Memorial N. P. Tarassuk

N. P. Tarassuk, emeritus professor of Food Science and Technology at the University of California, died in De Bilt, the Netherlands, at the age of 76.

Young Nick Tarassuk, after an adventurous career in the White Army during the Russian revolution, entered the United States via Siberia and Shanghai. He graduated from the University of California in 1933 and obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1937. In 1936 he joined the staff of the Davis campus, where he became full professor in 1954. He retired from the University of California in 1968.

Tarassuk and his collaborators have contributed to a wide variety of industrial research projects, notably to the prevention of the rancidity of milk fat and the unraveling of the milk lipase system.

Professor Tarassuk leaves behind his wife and two sons, Boris and Victor. For those who have known him the memory of extroverted, multi-interested Nick will not easily fade.
