Food enzymes

Consultancy & Sponsored Projects

Biopolymers (September 2017 – September 2021):- Principal Investigator on a DST WOS-B project entitled “Development of a sustainable process for the production of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate using food and kitchen waste”. This has dual societal benefit (i) waste management and (ii) bioconversion of waste into an eco-friendly biopolymer – waste to wealth strategy (Rs 30 Lakhs).
Biofuels and other value added products (October 2013 – August 2017): – Principal Investigator on a DBT Bio-CARe project entitled “Waste to wealth – development of a green process for the production of second generation biofuels from crop wastes”. Chili post-harvest residue was used as a feed stock for the production of biofuels and other value-added products like biopolymers, organic acids and enzymes. Developed novel alternative strategies of pretreatment which proved to be effective for better lignin and hemicelluloses removal, with minimal inhibitor generation (Rs 45 Lakhs).
Biofuels / Biopolymers (December 2008 – September 2013): – Worked as Project Scientist, Center for Biofuels, at CSIR-National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSIR-NIIST), Thiruvananthapuram. Worked on conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels and other value added products. Worked on production of biopolymer, poly-3-hydroxybutyrate from Bacillus species using biodiesel industry generated crude glycerol as sole carbon source. Media engineering, characterization of biopolymer, preparation of blends and application studies were carried out.
Metagenomics: – Post Doctoral Research Fellow at Rajiv Gandhi centre for Biotechnology, Dept of Molecular Microbiology (October 2006- November 2008):-Constructions of a soil metagenomic library for novel cellulases were carried out. Soil metagenomic library were also screened for pectinase, amylase, protease, asparaginase, xylanase and lipase activities (Rs 20 Lakhs).
Bioprocess Technology: – Research Scholar at School of Biosciences, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam-Worked on the topic entitled “Production, purification and applications of alpha amylases from Penicillium janthinellum”. Alpha amylase producing Penicillium janthinellum was isolated from soil samples. Media engineering was carried out to optimize various process parameters affecting production. Purification, characterization and applications of alpha amylase were evaluated for detergent formulations.
