Aplications are invited for the post of Research Associate - I in a DBT funded research project
Innovating food systems for safety, functionality, and well-being.
The Food Structure Safety Research Lab (FSS) dedicates itself to creating sustainable solutions for the food industry. Our research focuses on harnessing natural biopolymers such as starch, alginate, and proteins to design innovative food structures, enhance nutritional functionality, and promote human health. We employ advanced technologies such as cold plasma, superheated steam, and ultrasound to enhance the functionality of biopolymers. Applications of our work include developing foods for dysphagia management, creating plant-based meat analogues, and developing advanced oral drug delivery systems.
"By engineering biopolymers at the molecular level, we can design food systems that are both sustainable, safe, and health-promoting."
