Full professor

Research Activities

Professor Udenigwe\\\'s group studies the chemistry, biofunctions and biomaterial applications of food proteins and peptides. His research focuses on understanding the structural dynamics of proteins and bioactive peptides during processing, interaction with other biopolymers and small molecules in food, bio-accessibility and bio-availability. His protein research also covers topics such as molecular behaviour in complex matrices, encapsulated nanostructures and functional biomaterials (peptide hydrogels, and protein-based nanodelivery systems and edible bioplastics), nano-bio interactions, food protein allergens and proteins from emerging sources.
