Evaporation Technology in Food Processing

Prof. Seid Mahdi Jafari received his PhD in Food Process Engineering from the University of Queensland (Australia), in 2007. Now, he is afull-time Prof. in GUASNR (Iran) and part-time Prof. in SAAS (China).He has published more than 850 papers in International Journals (h-index=124in Scopus and 136 in Google Scholar) and 110 book chapters/40 books with Elsevier, Springer, and Taylor & Francis. Selected achievements:- One of the world’s highly cited researchers (1% top scientists) by Scopus (Elsevier)- One of the top national researchers by the Iranian Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology- One of the world’s highly cited researchers (HCR; 0.1% top scientists) by Clarivate Analytics (Web of Science)- A top reviewer in the field of agricultural and biological sciences by Publons.Esra Çapanoğlu Güven, a full professor at the Department of Food Engineering, and leading international food chemist, is known for her expertise in processing and food matrix effects on the content and bioavailability of bioactives. She has also made important contributions to investigating methods to improve the bioavailability of bioactive compounds, as well as waste valorization. She has published three books, 30 chapters and more than 300 international/national scientific papers. She was selected as a Highly Cited Researcher in 2019, 2022, and 2023 by Clarivate, Web of Science Group. She has also been indicated as the top 2% of scientists of the main subfield discipline according to the list created by Stanford University for the last 4 years (2020-2023). She also received Georg Forster Prize from Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in July 2022. She has been selected as an Associate Member for the Turkish Academy of Sciences starting from 2023. She is an Assoc. Editor in ACS Omega and Editorial Advisory Board Member of Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (JAFC), Food Frontiers, Journal of Berry Research, Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, and several others.Asli Can Karaca received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Food Engineering from Istanbul Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey, and her Ph.D. in Food Science from University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, SK in Canada. She has 10 years of industrial experience in an international medium-sized flavor house. Currently, she is working as an Associate Professor within the Department of Food Engineering at Istanbul Technical University. Her research interest lies in developing value-added protein-based ingredients from sustainable and low-cost resources, investigating their functionality and utilization in innovative food products. She worked in key projects focusing on the effect of proteins on encapsulation efficiency and developing wall material systems combining various biopolymers for encapsulation of bioactives.
