Research summary
AI-generated

Heena Rani's work focuses on the food science and biochemistry of cereal grains and other plant crops, with particular emphasis on barley malting quality, enzyme activity (such as amylases and dextrinases), and plant compounds like glucosinolates and anthocyanins. The research combines analytical chemistry methods (LC-MS, GC-MS) with practical applications for food and beverage industries, such as brewing and rice aroma screening. Despite being listed under Nursing as a broad research area, the actual publication record concerns plant biochemistry, food science, and agricultural product quality rather than clinical or nursing topics.
