About

Currently working as Research Associate III in Food Technology division in BARC, Mumbai. Working on production of exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria and its food applications.

Previously worked as Senior Research Fellow (ICMR) in Grain Science and Technology Department, Central Food Technological Research Institute. The Ph.D. thesis title “Influence of processing technologies on mineral composition of pearl millet and development of iron enriched beverage”.

Previously also had worked as Project Assistant (level II) in Grain Science and Technology Department, Central Food Technological Research Institute. Extensively involved in R&D work on millets such as processing, value addition, and studies on nutraceutical components of millets. Worked on the bioavailability of minerals in finger millet. Apart from this, actively involved in the formulation of specialty foods from finger millet malt such as health beverage and ready-to-eat weaning foods. And also worked on study of nutrient composition and physico-chemical characteristics of food. Worked on bioavailability studies of minerals in finger millet.
