Full Name: Dr. Muhammad Aamir
Designation: Assistant Professor
Qualification: Ph.D.
Research Areas: The research focuses on innovative food processing and preservation technologies with a strong emphasis on enhancing the nutritional and functional quality of food products. Advanced thermal and non-thermal techniques such as ohmic heating, microwave drying, and fermentation to retain bioactive compounds, preserve essential nutrients, and improve shelf life and product safety. Key areas include the development of functional foods and beverages enriched with probiotics, prebiotics, and plant-based bioactives to support gut health, immunity, and disease prevention. The research also covers nutrient-retentive packaging solutions, drying kinetics, and the utilization of agro-industrial waste to create sustainable, cost-effective, and nutrient-rich food products. These efforts aim to contribute to public health, combat malnutrition, and promote sustainable nutrition-sensitive food systems.
