Assistant Professor
Agricultural and Food Engineering
The group is basically working on the development of packaging solutions using macromolecules. Recent works includes enhancement of mechanical and barrier properties of biodegradable films along with antimicrobial film development by solution casting. As a primary packaging nano coating is being developed and application on fruits is being experimented.
Extraction of bioactive compounds (flavonoids/Phenolic) is another research area on which the group is focussing. These bioactive extracts can be further used in food for enhancing functionality. Process optimisation and mathematical modelling to simulate the bio processes along with validation is being done by the group.
Food engineering has a pivotal role in improving rural agriculture. Keeping that in mind the group is also in the process of developing rural low cost technologies to offer sustainable growth to the rural community.
