Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Md Mahfuzur Rahman's research focuses on the application of high-power sonication and atmospheric cold plasma technologies to modify and extract plant-based proteins. His work investigates the impact of these methods on the physicochemical, functional, and nutritional properties of proteins derived from sources such as chickpeas, kidney beans, and soybeans.

Rahman has studied the effects of sonication on protein structure, including the generation of hydroxyl radicals, and its influence on rheological and gelling characteristics of protein dispersions. His research also extends to the extraction of protein, lipid, and chitin fractions from insects, examining their functional properties and potential applications. He has published 31 papers, with a total of 970 citations and an h-index of 11. Rahman collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Nikitha Modupalli, Saydul Md Safwa, Sukanya Poddar, and Scott Lafontaine, with whom he shares multiple publications.
