OverviewAI-generated summary
Navam Hettiarachchy's research centers on the exploration and development of novel food ingredients and processing technologies, with a particular emphasis on protein-based materials and their functional properties. Her work investigates methods for enhancing the physicochemical and textural characteristics of food products, including edible films and protein bars.
Recent publications highlight her investigation into the use of plant extracts, such as grape seed and green tea polyphenols, to improve the quality of 3D-printed soy protein films. She has also explored innovative drying techniques, like supercritical carbon dioxide, for processing sorghum proteins and has examined the antioxidant potential of fermented rice bran proteins. Her research extends to understanding the genetic factors influencing protein content in soybeans.
Hettiarachchy collaborates with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Ali Ubeyitogullari, Griffiths G. Atungulu, Han‐Seok Seo, and Kaushik Luthra. She maintains an active research group and laboratory website, and her work has been recognized with a high-impact researcher designation due to her significant citation counts (over 10,000) and h-index of 58.
