Profile

Dr. S. Sivaranjani has exemplary subject matter and research expertise in the field of Food Process Engineering. She Possess doctoral degree in Food Process Engineering from IIT Kharagpur, Master's degree in Food Technology from CFDT-TANUVAS, Chennai and a Bachelor's degree in Food Process Engineering from NIFTEM-T, Thanjavur. Major focus areas include food engineering, traditional foods, millet processing, dairy technology, machine design, heat and mass transfer kinetics, and dough rheology.

During her Ph.D., Dr. Sivaranjani made a significant impact in the processing of traditional foods by adding hydrocolloids in the dough system for reduced fat absorption during frying. With regard to the utilisation of hydrocolloids, characterisation of rice flour and rheological properties of the dough was studied. Additionally, she developed a low-cost semi-continuous processing machinery for pressing and de-oiling of traditional food product.

           Post graduate research includes the development and evaluation of a semi-automatic mini paneer making machine coupled with programmable logic controller (PLC). The fabricated system was evaluated with quality attributes of paneer and cost economics was performed. This cost affordable system would benefit the cottage level industries to adopt technologies.

She actively participated in several national and international conferences and conferred with best poster award. She also served as an Assistant Professor handling theory and laboratory courses to undergraduate students. Furthermore, her research and review publications in Scopus indexed journals exemplify the deep knowledge in her field. Also, she holds life membership in various technical societies includes ISAE and ISCA.
