Biography

Kaavya Rathnakumar, PhD, is a Senior Food Scientist at Balchem Human Nutrition and Health, St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Previously, she was an Innovation Scientist at Beyond Meat, Los Angeles, California, and a Postdoctoral Research Associate/Director at the Frozen Dessert Center, Department of Food Science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA. Her expertise includes waste by-product utilization using non-thermal and sustainable techniques, product and process development, ingredient formulations for dairy and non-dairy frozen desserts and beverages, plant-based meat analogs, strategic long-term innovation in dairy and plant-based proteins, milk lipids and phospholipids, structured fats, and emulsions through novel process engineering techniques. She is a member of various associations, including the Institute of Food Technologists, the American Association of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, the American Dairy Science Association, American Oil and Chemists’ Society. She has obtained nine international research awards, including the prestigious John Brandt Award from Land O’Lakes, Midwest Dairy, USA, and the Women in Engineering Award from the American Association of Agricultural and Biological Engineers in 2020. She has published over 22 peer-reviewed articles, nine book chapters, and three books and presented over 30 conference presentations. She is also a special editor for Journal of Food Quality. Dr. Rathnakumar earned her PhD in dairy and food science at South Dakota State University, USA, her Master of Engineering in food engineering and bioprocess technology at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, and her bachelor’s in food processing engineering at the Indian Institute of Food Processing Technology, India.

R. Pandiselvam, PhD, is a young academician actively engaged in food engineering research. He is currently a Scientist in the Physiology, Biochemistry and Post-Harvest Technology Division at the ICAR-Central Plantation Crops Research Institute, Kasaragod, India. During the last five years, he has contributed in the design and development of a minimal processing machine for tender coconut, a continuous type coconut testa removing machine, tender coconut punching and cutting machine, and a preservation protocol for trimmed tender coconut. He was also a developer/co-developer of many value-added food products (Kalpa Krunch, Frozen Coconut Delicacy, matured coconut water-based beverages), which are commercialized by many entrepreneurs. Dr. Pandiselvam has authored over 185 articles published in national and international journals of repute. He has been the author or coauthor of five books and 60 book chapters. Dr. Pandiselvam is the Associate Editor of Measurement: Food (Elsevier) and Frontiers in Nutrition. Dr. Pandiselvam also features as an editorial board member of Food & Humanity, Ozone Science and Engineering, Journal of Texture Studies, and Quality Assurance, and Safety of Crops & Foods Journal. He was conferred with a National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS) Young Scientist Award, NAAS Associate and Indian Society of Agricultural Engineers (ISAE)-Distinguished Service Award.
