Processed products obtained from meat, fish, and poultry play a predominant role ascribed to their nutritional profile and sensory characteristics. Usually, these products are highly perishable, and, therefore, the food industry used traditional thermal methods of heat processing in order to extend the stability of the product to the greatest extent. But this traditional method has several... Read more

Biography

M. Selvamuthukumaran, PhD, is Associate Professor, School of Food Science & Post harvest Technology, Institute of Technology, Haramaya University, Dire Dawa, Ethiopia. He received his PhD in Food Science from the University of Mysore, and his masters in Food Science & Technology from the Jawaharlal Nehru Agricultural University. His areas of research include antioxidant rich functional foods, probiotic & prebiotic foods advanced food processing & preservation techniques.

Dr. Sajid Maqsood is a Professor in the Department of Food Science at College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, UAEU. He has started his academic career in May-2011 at UAEU as a post-doctorate Fellow and is currently serving as Professor since 2021. He has served on a strategically important position (Assistant Dean for Research and Graduate Studies) since 2017 and Dept. Chair (since-2022).

His research is dedicated and aligned exclusively on food and nutritional needs of UAE and the region. He has established an innovative research program at UAEU which focus on bioactive molecules (bioactive peptides) from camel milk and dates with currently two funded projects running in this area. He is also working on food wastes and by-products valorization generated at farm and industry level in UAE and utilization into food fortification, biodegradable packaging, extruded products etc (Two on-going research projects). Moreover, intensive research on alternative proteins (plant-based proteins, meat analogues etc) and sustainable means of food processing (One on-going research project) is being carried out. He is leading an active research group in Food Science Department of UAE University with multidisciplinary collaboration within UAE and abroad.

He has published around 150 publications and edited 4 books and several book chapters.

He has received several awards for his research at UAEU and was listed in Top 2% scientist list released by Stanford University (2020-22).
