Research summary

Sudhir K. Sastry's research focuses on electrically-based and pressure-based food processing technologies, such as ohmic heating (using electric current to heat food directly), moderate electric fields, and high hydrostatic pressure, to inactivate harmful bacteria and spores, extract valuable compounds, and improve nutrient delivery in foods. This work has applications in food safety, sustainable food production, and nutrition enhancement (e.g., iron and zinc delivery). Students in this group would likely engage with experimental food engineering, microbiology, and process modeling.
