Bener Research Group

The Bener Research Group was established in 2023 by Associate Professor Mustafa Bener within the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the Faculty of Science, Istanbul University. Our research focuses on developing innovative methods for the extraction and determination of bioactive compounds, particularly antioxidants. This includes optimizing and modeling green extraction methods, as well as conducting detailed phenolic profiling and antioxidant activity assessments of the obtained extracts. Additionally, we collaborate with various groups to apply these extracts in food-related applications. Another significant area of our work involves developing practical measurement techniques for bioactive compounds, including the development of optical sensors, nanosensors, and electrochemical sensors.
