Bioprocess Engineering & Encapsulation:
- Scale-up and optimization of bioprocesses
- Food engineering
- Extraction of anthocyanins and bioactives from biological materials (e.g. berries) and agri-food processing wastes
- Controlled release systems for delivery of drugs and nutraceuticals
- Encapsulation techniques
Waste Utilization & Treatment:
- Integrated biorefinery for agri-food processing wastes
- Recovery of high-value compounds (e.g. bioactives, enzymes, nutraceuticals) from agri-food processing wastes
- Conversion of agri-food processing wastes into higher-value products (e.g. oils, fermentation products)
