Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Safoura Ahmadzadeh's research focuses on the development of novel food materials and processing techniques, particularly utilizing polysaccharide-based biopolymers. Her work investigates how to enhance the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of bioactive compounds within food matrices. A significant area of her research involves the application of 3D food printing to create porous structures from materials such as starch and alginate-pectin hydrogels. This approach aims to improve the functional properties of food products, including their insulation capabilities for packaging and their capacity to stabilize sensitive ingredients like lutein. Ahmadzadeh also explores the impact of natural extracts, such as grape seed and green tea, on the physicochemical characteristics of 3D-printed edible films. Her scholarship includes 39 publications with an h-index of 18 and over 800 citations, and she collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
