The Project, Designed Through the Collaboration of 36 Universities Involving IGU Academics, Has Been Awarded Support under the ADEP Framework

Within the project, Prof. Dr. S. Arda Öztürkcan, Vice Rector of Istanbul Gelisim University, serves as a researcher alongside Dr. Nevruz Berna Tatlısu, Head of the Gastronomy and Culinary Arts Department at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, and Dr. Eda Şensu from the Food Technology Program of Istanbul Gelisim Vocational School. In this respect, the project once again demonstrates the university’s contribution to scientific research activities and inter-university collaboration. The active involvement of its academics aims to further strengthen the institution’s research capacity in the fields of food technologies and sustainability.

The project, conducted within the framework of the international FIRST research network and involving 62 researchers from 36 universities, is expected to deliver an innovative device applicable both in domestic refrigerators and in food storage and cold chain systems. Beyond advancing academic knowledge production, this study represents a significant step toward improving food preservation technologies, thereby contributing to sustainable food management and the reduction of food waste.
