Research Intersts: I am working in the domain of Edible Fats and Oils in relation to their Nutrition, safety and processing. The primary health risk identified for undesirable fats like (transfats) consumption is an elevated risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). It is the highly unorganized segment of Pakistan where issues related to food safety are still to be addressed. Moreover the culture of value addition in this sector is very stumpy. I am focusing on product development, nutritional attributes regarding its valuable ingredients of various edible oils and safety aspects like Trans fats, heavy metals, aflatoxin etc.
