Name of Research group: Dairy and Meat group

• My research emphasis is on Dairy Processing and Food Safety to ensure the provision of Safe, Nutritious and Wholesome Food to the masses. Focused on advances in dairy technology, development and modifications in existing dairy products to form functional value-added products and development of fermented dairy products.  
• Testing of milk and milk products to control milk safety risks throughout the dairy supply chain. Advance testing kits and green Nano measures has been adopted to effectively measure and control milk adulteration to ensure milk safety.

Current Research themes

• Efforts are made to identify variant adulterants by using natural extracts to shift from chemical testing to green methods for detection of milk adulteration in efficient manner to ensure milk safety
• Green synthesis of Se nanoparticles using Allium Stavium extract to detect milk adulteration   

Future Research planned

• Advance Nano based sensors/measures are being adopted to test variant milk adulterants.
