OverviewAI-generated summary

Nikitha Modupalli's research focuses on the application of novel processing technologies to improve food product yield and quality, with a particular emphasis on rice bran and plant-based proteins. Modupalli has investigated the use of ultrasound, pulsed ultrasound, and non-thermal plasma in extraction and modification processes. Publications detail the kinetics and quality measurements of protein extraction from bitter melon seeds and the impact of various processing technologies on rice bran oil extraction and quality. Further work includes assessing the physicochemical properties of rice bran wax and the effects of mechanical stirring and ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic degumming on rice bran oil. Modupalli has also explored the influence of atmospheric cold plasma on milk protein dispersions and plant traits, including its negative effects on fall armyworm development in rice. Collaborations include work with Md Mahfuzur Rahman, Saydul Md Safwa, Scott Lafontaine, and Deepak Dilip at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
