Research interests
-
Encapsulation Technology
My research focuses on the development of advanced encapsulation technology designed to stabilize and control the release of enzymes and other bioactive materials. This technique can encapsulate sensitive compounds, enhancing their stability and efficacy in various applications within the food and feed industries.
-
Drying Technology
Another research interest is the advanced drying technologies, especially spray drying. Spray drying is crucial for stabilizing sensitive bioactive materials and enhancing their shelf life and functionality. My work aims to optimize this process for various applications in the food and feed industries, ensuring efficient production and high-quality end products. This technology not only improves the stability and performance of encapsulated compounds but also supports innovation and efficiency in industrial applications.
