Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sorour Barekat's research investigates the modification of food properties and the development of novel food processing techniques. Her work has explored the use of high-intensity ultrasonic radiation and enzymatic treatments to improve meat tenderness and alter functional properties in beef. She also studies the impact of various ingredients, such as sugar beet fiber and hydrocolloids, on the rheological characteristics and quality of gluten-free products.

Further research areas include the effects of processing methods like heat and high-pressure homogenization on the properties of gums such as gum tragacanth. Barekat is also involved in developing hydrophobic-hydrophilic protein structures using 3D food printing with sorghum and soy protein gels, and enhancing the stability and bioaccessibility of beneficial compounds through coaxial 3D food printing.
