Research Interests

Food engineering aspects with emphasis on:

  • design and development of the unit operation for food processing
  • processing food materials into value added- products
  • preservation and packaging of foods which include coating, edible film, and micro-encapsulation
  • thermal, rheological, and functional properties of functional ingredients and foods,
  • utilization of agricultural processing wastes
  • optimization of processing conditions, and
  • development of non-food materials from biological wastes including bio-diesel
