Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kavitha Lakshmipathy's research focuses on improving food quality and safety through various pre-treatment and analytical techniques. Her work includes investigating the effects of dehulling and germination on the functional properties of grass pea flour, as well as evaluating the efficacy of light-based, non-thermal methods for assessing the physico-chemical characteristics, pungency, and aflatoxin levels in dried red chilli pods. Lakshmipathy has also explored the degradation of pesticides in agricultural commodities using ultraviolet light treatment and examined the impact of thermal and non-thermal pre-treatments on bioactive compounds in ginger extracts. Her research extends to assessing the byproducts of mint hydrodistillation for their utilization in functional drinks and comparing ultraviolet and photocatalytic disinfection techniques for grapes. Additionally, she has studied methods to mitigate enzyme activity and off-flavors in chickpea protein and investigated the role of active packaging in preventing insect infestation in food products. Lakshmipathy has published nine works and has an h-index of 4.
