🎓 Education Background

Dr. Fadime Seyrekoğlu earned her PhD in Food Engineering from Ondokuz Mayıs University in 2020 🎓. Her doctoral research focused on the use of encapsulation techniques for incorporating Hypericum extracts into ayran, under the guidance of Prof. Hasan Temiz 🧪🥛. Earlier, she completed her Master’s degree in 2011 at Erciyes University, also in Food Engineering 🧫. Her thesis, supervised by Prof. Osman Sağdıç, investigated the effects of storage on the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory properties of traditionally produced winter yogurt ❄️🧉. These academic foundations have shaped her expertise in dairy innovation and functional food research.

🔬 Research Focus

Dr. Fadime Seyrekoğlu’s research primarily focuses on functional foods, dairy product innovation, and plant-based bioactive compounds 🧃🥛🌿. Her work extensively explores microencapsulation techniques, particularly using Hypericum species and Aloe vera, for enhancing the nutritional and antioxidant properties of dairy beverages like ayran 🧫🧪. She also investigates fruit and by-product utilization, antifungal activity of plant extracts, and natural food preservation methods 🍉🍯🧀. Through multidisciplinary studies combining food engineering, phytochemistry, and microbiology, she aims to develop health-promoting and sustainable food products. Her expertise lies in optimizing processes and formulations for improved sensory and functional qualities.
