Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering Dr. de Moura Bell research includes the development and application of environmentally friendly technologies to replace the incumbent technology for extracting and fractionating of major food components such as oil, protein, and carbohydrates. Specifically, she is interested in bio-processing techniques such as enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction, fermentation, and less harsh techniques like supercritical and subcritical extractions. Her laboratory research interests include: 1) Scaling-up extraction and downstream recovery processes from laboratory to pilot-scale; 2) Determining the effects of processing conditions (extraction, heat treatment, enzymatic modifications and recovery strategies) on the functionality and biological activities of food components, and 3) The conversion of agricultural waste streams\/food processing by-products into high added-value compounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Assistant Professor Juliana De Moura Bell Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering 2212 Robert Mondavi Institute – South jdemourabell@ucdavis.edu (530) 752-5007 Research Dr. de Moura Bell research includes the development and application of environmentally friendly technologies to replace the incumbent technology for extracting and fractionating of major food components such \u2026 Continue reading
