Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ali Ubeyitogullari's research focuses on the application of 3D food printing technology for the encapsulation and delivery of bioactive compounds, as well as the development of novel food materials. He investigates methods to enhance the stability and bioaccessibility of compounds like polyphenols and lutein by incorporating them into structured food matrices such as porous starch beads and dual-layered gels.

His work also explores the use of supercritical carbon dioxide for the extraction of valuable compounds from agricultural byproducts, such as rice husk. Ubeyitogullari has received a CAREER award from the NSF for $471,477 to develop sustainable nanoporous aerogels from waste and byproducts of agricultural and food systems. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 25, with 85 total publications and 1,800 citations. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Safoura Ahmadzadeh and Sumanjot Kaur.
