Biography

Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate in Food Engineering at the University of Campinas. I hold a bachelor’s degree in food engineering at Universidade Técnologica Federal do Paraná (2013-2017) and Master’s degree also in in food engineering at University of Campinas (2018-2020). I have participated of two exchange programs at University of Minho – Portugal (during master’s degree) and at University of Saskatchewan – Canada (during PhD). I have been actively working with alternative plant protein sources for food application. My research background is related to study protein extraction evaluating different extraction methodologies (single or combined methodologies) for protein extraction from alternative sources such as lentils, beans, canola meals, and cassava leaves. I also have been studying the effect of extraction methodologies and post-extraction treatment (ohmic heating) on protein functionality.
