Our research goals are to develop the value-added technologies that are related to the modification of functional food ingredients such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, and to investigate their application in food and non-food products.

Controlling water interaction and migration in various food systems is another of our research interests, along with the investigation of various molecular dynamics such as water and food biopolymer mobility/interaction. This research field involving functional food ingredients and the interplay of water with food components will provide knowledge to increase our understanding of how food components interact with each other in various complex systems.

- Water interaction and dynamics in food materials
- Development of value added products using puffing and ultra high pressure
- Non-thermal starch hydrolysis and modification using ultra high pressure
