OverviewAI-generated summary

Nikitha Modupalli's research focuses on food science, with recent work investigating novel processing technologies for food ingredients and products. She has published studies on the pulsed ultrasound-assisted extraction of protein from bitter melon seeds and the effects of combined processing technologies on rice bran oil extraction and quality. Other publications explore the physicochemical, functional, and phytochemical characteristics of refined rice bran wax, as well as changes in rice bran oil during degumming processes. Modupalli has also investigated the impact of atmospheric cold plasma on plant traits and its negative effects on fall armyworm development in rice, alongside the influence of non-thermal plasma on milk protein dispersions. Her work aims to improve yield, functional properties, and aroma profiles of food components through innovative extraction and precipitation methods.
