Research Intersts:  Pakistani population is suffering from a variety of nutritional deficiency disorders which range from protein-calorie malnutrition to micronutrient deficiencies like Fe, Zn, Iodine and vitamin A. Besides micronutrient deficiencies, metabolic disorders like hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, elevated blood pressure, diabetes and cancer are also prevalent among the masses. To overcome the menace, there is dire need to focus on diet diversification and diet modification. I have worked on extraction and utilization of rice bran oil as edible oil and in various baked products. My current research interest is on fortification of food especially wheat, rice, processed foods (like kheer, noodles, VitaRice, puffed rice), composite flour technology, and food allergens. I am also working on value addition in agricultural commodities through processing, curtailment of postharvest losses by the use of edible coating, preparation of syrups, jams, jellies.
