Research Interests

Extracting and Fractionating Major Food Components: Oil, protein, and carbohydrates
Bio-processing techniques: Enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction; fermentation; supercritical and subcritical extraction; downstream recovery processes
Scaling-up extraction and downstream recovery processes from laboratory to pilot-scale
Determining the effects of processing conditions (extraction, heat treatment, enzymatic modifications and recovery strategies) on the functionality and biological activities of food components
The conversion of agricultural waste streams/food processing by-products into high added-value compounds
