Arshpreet Kaur

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, AUS graduate of BSc. Food Technology (major)and Nutrition. Currently pursuing MSc in Food Science and Innovation at the University of Chester, UK. During my studies, I've worked on reverse engineering, food safety, reformulating, labelling and creating sustainable packaging in various learning environments and practical settings. I have knowledge in areas like food chemistry, supply chain management, food security, microbiology, product development, sensory science, consumer behavior, allergens, toxicology, functional ingredients and food safety which provide me with versatility. I have a brief understanding of the Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) guidelines, as well as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Recently, I have also been engaged in learning about space food development and space food farming.

In the future, I would like to work on developing nutraceuticals or sustainable food products. I have a strong set of laboratory, research, and problem-solving skills. I enjoy new challenges and I take risks and preserve despite obstacles. I am always eager to learn and constantly seeking opportunities in the food industry.
