Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Md Mahfuzur Rahman's research investigates the application of non-thermal processing technologies to enhance the quality and functionality of food ingredients, particularly plant-based proteins. He studies the impact of techniques such as high-power sonication and atmospheric cold plasma on the physicochemical, functional, and nutritional properties of various food sources, including soy, mung beans, and rice bran. His work also explores the extraction and characterization of protein, lipid, and chitin fractions from insects for potential food applications.

Rahman's publications detail the influence of these technologies on protein solubility, rheological behavior, and overall nutritive value. He has received funding for projects examining ultrasound-assisted extraction and modification of plant-based proteins. His research network includes collaborators from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Rahman maintains an active laboratory website to disseminate his research findings.
