Overview

Dr. Szilvia Bánvölgyi is a food engineer and expert of membrane filtration technologies. One of her research areas is the application of different membrane filtration techniques such as microfiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis in  fruit- and vegetable processing, the concentration of valuable components in plant extracts and the optimization of operating parameters for processes. She has won  Deák Ferenc Scholarship (2008/2009) and Grassalkovich Scholarship (2017/2018) with these research topics. Moreover,  she focuses on the utilization of by-products and wastes generated during the industrial processes using novel extraction techniques, which can contribute to making the food industry more sustainable.

"Support for an Excellent Research Group/Centre of Excellence in Food Science" (EFOP-3.6.3_VEKOP-16-2017-00005 project, 2019)
Title: Utilization of by-products and waste generated during vegetable and fruit processing

The objective of the project was to find the appropriate extraction method to recover the color components (betalains), polyphenols and antioxidants from beet root peel. And to determine the optimal extraction parameters such as extraction time, sample-to-solvent ratio, temperature or the solvent type and concentration.
