Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sorour Barekat investigates the phytochemical composition, functional properties, and potential applications of various plant-based materials. Her research includes studying the antioxidant and antimicrobial characteristics of walnut green husk and exploring the use of sugar beet fiber and hydrocolloids in gluten-free baked goods. Barekat also examines the effects of processing techniques, such as heat and high-pressure homogenization, on the properties of ingredients like gum tragacanth.

Her work extends to the development of novel food products through advanced manufacturing methods. This includes optimizing sorghum protein gels for 3D food printing to create printable bioinks and enhancing the stability and bioaccessibility of nutrients like lutein and anthocyanins using coaxial 3D printing. Barekat also studies the modification of protein structures for improved functionality, such as developing hydrophobic-hydrophilic protein structures from sorghum and soy protein gels and enhancing the emulsifying properties of soy protein isolate-wheat starch conjugates. She has published 18 papers with 377 citations and an h-index of 9.
