Nanoemulsions

Seid Mahdi Jafari received his PhD in Food Process Engineering from the University of Queensland in Australia in 2006. He is now a Professor at GUASNR (Iran). He has published more than 650 papers in international journals (h-index= 97 in Scopus), 100 book chapters, and 36 books with Elsevier, Springer, and Taylor & Francis. Jafari was recognized as one of the top national researchers by the Iranian Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology (2017). He has been listed as one of the world’s highly cited researchers by Clarivate Analytics (Web of Science) in 2018, 2019, and 2020. He has also been recognized as a top reviewer in the field of agricultural and biological sciences by Publons (2018 and 2019). His website is “http://www.smjafari.com.” Professor David Julian McClements works in the Department of Food Science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is well known for his research into lipid oxidation and antioxidants.
