Dr. Szilvia Bánvölgyi is a food engineer and expert of membrane filtration technologies. She obtained her PhD in 2009 in Food Science from Food Science Doctoral Programme of the Corvinus University of Budapest in Hungary. One of her research areas is the application of different membrane filtration techniques such as microfiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis in the 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.
