About Nithya Michael
I’m a food scientist with 7+ years of experience in R&D, process optimization, and food safety, backed by a PhD in Food Technology. My core expertise lies in plant protein extraction, functional modification, and application—from improving techno-functional properties to integrating them into real-world food systems.I’ve worked on the development of products like noodles, ketchup, and extruded snacks, leading projects from lab-scale to pilot trials. I’m also well-versed in implementing food safety standards, including HACCP, ISO and FSSC about applied research and sustainable innovation, I’m looking to take on a research-oriented leadership role where I can drive scientific advancement and contribute to meaningful food solutions.
