Antonio J. Vela's research focuses on the food science of starches, flours, and other plant-based ingredients, particularly how physical treatments like ultrasound and microwave radiation change their structure and functional behavior. This work examines gluten-free flours (rice, tef, quinoa, fonio) and other food materials to understand properties like gelatinization, digestibility, and rheology (flow and gel behavior) relevant to food processing and product development. Although labeled under Nursing in this record, the publication topics indicate the work is actually situated in food science and biotechnology rather than clinical or nursing research.
