My research focus is on valorisation of protein from underutilised sources asfunctional agents in food and non-food products development. As functional agents in food system, proteins from plant origin were considered for their interfacial stabilisation, rheological and microencapsulation applications. They were further modified through consumer friendly chemical and enzymatic methods to enhance their functional performance. Currently, my research group is looking into the application of protein from bio-wastes as feedstock for production of environmentally friendly biodegradable bio-plastic to combat the menace of the accumulating non-degradable petroleum based-plastics in the environment.
