Brijesh K. Tiwari
Research OfficerResearch Interests
My primary research interests relate to novel food processing, extraction and preservation technologies, with a strong focus on investigation of biochemical and microbial kinetics in food and food products. I am particularly interested in the investigation of technological aspects (nutritional, microbial, enzymatic and chemical inactivation phenomena) in thermal and non-thermal processing studies.
A particular focus of my current research relates to the investigation of green and sustainable solutions to food industry challenges. In addition, I am interested in extraction technologies with particular reference to extraction of biomolecules from food by-products and waste streams
