Results-driven master's graduate with hands-on research experience in product development, food formulation, and quality evaluation. Skilled in designing and characterizing functional food systems, including edible films, natural jellies, and hydrocolloid-infused fillings. Proficient in applying analytical techniques for physicochemical, textural, and antioxidant assessments. Strong foundation in R&D, sensory analysis, and sustainable food packaging solutions; adept at collaborative research, technical documentation, and innovation in clean-label and functional foods.
a. Contributed to bakery production including breads, cookies, rusks, cream rolls, and pizza bases.
b. Gained insights into industrial-scale bakery operations and quality assurance protocols.
a. Engaged in milk and dairy product processing.
Learned pasteurization, homogenization, and packaging processes
Designed and formulated strawberry fillings using various hydrocolloids (XG, GG, LBG, CMC) to enhance texture, stability, rheological and functional properties. Characterized the fillings for syneresis, Baking Stability Index (BSI), antioxidant activity (DPPH, TPC, TFC), and sensory attributes. Successfully incorporated the fillings into cookies, evaluating their performance during baking and overall product quality.
conducted a research project focused on formulating biodegradable, edible films based on corn starch. Optimized film properties such as thickness, tensile strength, water vapor permeability, and transparency. Evaluated the impact of plasticizers and other additives on film performance, with the goal of enhancing sustainability and reducing plastic waste in food packaging.
Developed a natural jelly product using lemon juice and honey as key ingredients. Standardized the formulation and processing parameters to achieve optimal texture, flavor, and shelf stability. Evaluated physicochemical properties, including pH, Brix, and gel strength, and ensured product quality through sensory analysis
