Profile
Mahesha M. Poojary is a Food Chemist with a strong background in Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry. He obtained his MSc degree in Chemistry from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, India (2011) and Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences from the University of Camerino, Italy (Eureka Fellowship, April 2017). He was appointed as Associate Professor in Food Protein Chemistry in January 2023.
Previous Employment
Research mobility
Research interests
His research interests center around 1) Obtaining proteins and added-value compounds from microalgae and food processing byproducts, 2) Investigating protein oxidation, the Maillard reaction and protein-polyphenol interactions in foods by high-resolution LC-MS/MS. 3) Development and validation of gas and liquid chromatography-based methods for analyzing small molecules in foods (metabolomics).
His current work is focused on
1. Improvement of quality and stability of dairy and plant-based products by thermal and non-thermal food processing.
2. Cultivation of microalgae and extraction of added-value compounds (proteins, carotenoids, umami amino acids, and PUFAs) from algal biomass.
3. Understanding the chemistry of protein modifications/protein oxidation during food processing.
4. Exploring the mechanism of protein-polyphenol interaction in foods.
