Food scientist and grain processing engineer Mahfuzur Rahman is pioneering new and sustainable methods of extracting plant-based protein.

Using technologies like ultrasound and cold plasma, Mahfuzur hopes to add value for producers and consumers alike by improving plant-based protein products. He also wants to find ways to cut back on long, hard-to-pronounce chemicals on food labels.
