Ph.D. Research work:

Dissertation: “Impact of milk proteins and fat in controlling fat bloom formation in dark chocolate”

Key Activities:

Proximate analysis of Cocoa Liquor and its Dutch processing

Preparation and purification of rennet casein

Preparation and fractionation of ghee at different temperature

Determination of Eutectic mixture of milk fat and cocoa butter

Incorporation of hydrocolloid, proteins and partial replacement of cocoa butter with fractionated milk fat, in the standard recipe of dark chocolate

Optimization of bloom inhibition by 45 different trials of dark chocolate

Comparative study of storage stability of optimized chocolate vs. industrial chocolate under bloom inducing conditions

Quantification of bloom development in optimized chocolate vs. industrial chocolate by surface profilometry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope

Comparative study of physical properties of optimized vs. industrial chocolate by (Colorimeter, Texture Analyser, Rheometer, DSC and Particle size analyser)

Investigation: Optimized chocolate was found to be bloom resistant up to 300C in comparison to industrial chocolate”

THESIS (MASTERS)

(a)Dissertation:Comparative study of extraction techniques of γ-oryzanol from rice bran by using

conventional extraction and ultrasonication, microwave assisted solvent extraction

Investigation:Microwave assisted extraction of γ-oryzanol in methanol is more potent technique in comparison of conventional and ultrasonication assisted solvent extraction

Specialization: Extraction and infusion of micronutrient in nutrient deficient foods like potato chips

(b)Dissertation: Optimization of Temperature, pH and Metals ion on the activity of Pullulanase

Enzyme

Investigation: Temperature of range 67.5-70 0C, pH 5.5 and concentration of 1.6 Mm Ca2+ drastically improved its activity up to 200 times for the conversion of pullulane (α-1,4; α-1,6-glucan) to glucose

Specialization:Direct conversion of starch into glucose to make glucose/fructose syrup

PG Diploma: Industrial Safety Management, 2013 (Distance Education)
