Department of Bioresource engineering at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ’s contributions towards the food processing and agriculture related operations are enormous. The quality of researches cum research findings and their impact in the real world are really adorable. The world-class research facilities and supervision are the specialty of this department. That’s why I choose this department for my master studies.
What is so special about your research project?
Wild berries are having high antioxidants as compared to cultivated berry varieties. Unfortunately there are no enough researches to explore the nutritional functions of wild berries. My current research tries to explore one of wild berry’s nutritional properties and develop method to preserve its functional properties.
