FOOD/FEED SAFETY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SUMMER HANDS-ON (FRESH) RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Objective

Our overall goal is to develop a summer undergraduate research program to introduce engineering students to reuse capabilities of agro-industrial byproducts. This will be accomplished by achieving the following goals and objectives: 1) provide Undergraduate student research experiences that offers broad knowledge of food and feed safety, microbial modeling, and bioenergy conversion; 2) model the effect of atmospheric cold plasma and ozone on quality parameters of contaminated food and feed products; 3) determine the optimal treatment parameters of atmospheric cold plasma on bio-oil produced from agro-industrial byproducts; and 4) improve mentoring and student leadership skills.
