Biography

Dr. Rosane Freitas Schwan is a Full Professor within the Microbiology Group, Department of Biology at the Federal University of Lavras, Minas Gerais, Brazil, where she is involved in research on the microbiology of fermented foods and beverages. Prof. Schwan is Agricultural engineer from the Federal University of Espírito Santo, MSc. at UFV (Viçosa-MG) and PhD from the University of Bath (UK). Dr. Schwan was a researcher in the Cocoa Research Centre (CEPLAC) (1984-1996), where published techniques for improving the quality of the chocolate. At UFLA, since 1996, conducts research with coffee fermentation, sugar cane, cocoa, cassava and other substrates to improve the quality and development of new processes for foods and beverage. She is currently Director of the culture collection of agriculture microbiology - CCMA in DBI/UFLA, and Associate Editor of the Brazilian Journal of Microbiology and Food Microbiology. Supervisor of several MSC and PhD students from the programs in Agricultural Microbiology and Food Science in UFLA. Authored numerous publications addressing different aspects of knowledge and microbial biodiversity of natural and spontaneous fermentative processes over almost 30 years and recently, recently, she co-edited a volume in the CRC series in Fermented foods and beverages Series on Cocoa and Coffee Fermentation.

 

Professor V.K. Joshi, MSc, Ph.D., is an eminent scientist and a teacher with more than 35 years of research experience in fruit fermentation technology, fermented foods, food toxicology, quality assurance, and waste utilization. He is the former head of the Department of Postharvest Technology and currently the head of the Department of Food Science and Technology at the same university. He has made a very significant contribution to the development of technology of non-grape fruit wines, apple pomace utilization, lactic acid, and indigenous fermented foods.
