978-1-83916-417-0 (ISBN)
In recent years, the use of renewable raw materials and natural biopolymers has increased significantly to overcome the issues associated with environmental pollution and dwindling fossil fuel resources. Lipids and proteins are inexpensive, renewable raw materials, which are considered ideal feedstock for the development of a variety of functional materials. This book provides an international viewpoint on recent developments in the utilisation of lipids and proteins together, for the development of functional materials in food engineering, environmental and industry applications. This book presents the cutting-edge research in the utilization of lipids and proteins in food, cosmetics, therapeutics, food packaging, water remediation, biofuels, lubricants, biomaterials, and composite preparations. Researchers, scientists, engineers and students working on lipids and proteins derived materials will benefit from this book, which is highly application oriented. Focusing on the latest developments in the field, this will be the first book to describe lipids and proteins together, allowing it to act as a single reference for researchers working in this area.
Dr. Ullah obtained his PhD (with distinction) in Chemical Sciences and Technologies from University of Genoa, Italy by working together at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX, USA. He has worked in different institutes including Politecnico di Torino Sede di Alessandria (Italy) International Centre for Chemical and Biological Science (ICCBS, Karachi) before moving to University of Alberta. Current research in his lab is mainly focused on the synthesis of bioproducts/biomaterials from renewable lipids and protein resources for various industrial applications. Dr. Ullah has over 70 publications in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters and conference proceedings and 5 patents/applications (2 patents granted). He received 15 awards in his career, including Canadian Rising Star awarded by Grand Challenges Canada, ALES research and Innovation Award and ASTech Awards Finalists for the 30th ASTech Innovation Awards. Dr. Bandara is currently working as an Assistant Professor in Food Bioscience at the Department of Plant, Food and Environmental Sciences, Dalhousie University, Canada. Dr. Bandara completed his BSc. Agriculture degree in the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, and both MSc and PhD in Food Science from the University of Alberta, Canada. Following his PhD, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Alberta and NSERC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Guelph before joining with Dalhousie University in 2018. Dr. Bandara’s current research program at Dalhousie University is focused on protein-lipid conjugate based materials for delivery and packaging applications, protein-based biomaterials, and value-added utilization of protein ingredients. He has more than 20 peer-reviewed publications and presented his research over 30 national and international scientific venues. Over his short academic career, he has received more than 40 scholarships and awards in teachings, research, and academic achievements. In addition to his current role at Dalhousie University, Dr. Bandara is serving as an editorial board member of the Food Research International journal and Associate Editor of Food Chemistry Journal (Elsevier).
