We are proud to announce that Gamze İnanlı, a member of the UnluturkResearchGroup, has been awarded the first prize in the “Gıda Atıkları: Gıda Atıklarının Tadı Kaçtı” project competition held on November 29, 2024, and hosted by Istanbul Technical University. Gamze advanced to the finals during the preliminary evaluation and won the top award with her project titled “Upcycling Kitchen Food Waste: Development of a Lycopene- and Inulin-Enriched Powder Soup Formulation Using Mixture Design.”

This remarkable achievement was made possible with the laboratory support, guidance in idea generation, and mentorship throughout the project provided by Prof. Dr. Sevcan Ünlütürk. Additionally, Gamze conducted this project as the principal investigator of a TÜBİTAK 2209A project under the supervision of Research Assistant Berkay Berk.

We congratulate Gamze İnanlı on her outstanding success and are delighted to share this accomplishment with you.
