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, aiming to enhance their stability, bioaccessibility, and bioavailability. His work investigates the use of various biopolymers, including polysaccharides like starch and ethyl cellulose, to create porous structures and gels suitable for food applications. This includes the fabrication of porous spherical beads from corn starch and the design of dual-layered gels for improved stability of compounds such as lutein.

Ubeyitogullari also explores advanced extraction techniques, such as supercritical carbon dioxide, for obtaining phenolic compounds from agricultural byproducts like rice husks. His research extends to understanding the impact of different ingredients, like grape seed and green tea extracts, on the physicochemical properties of 3D-printed edible films. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 25, with 78 total publications and 1,640 total citations, and he is recognized as a highly cited researcher. He actively collaborates with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
