He has published over 55 peer-reviewed research and review papers, 30 book chapters, edited three books in Springer Nature & Elsevier and one textbook, and has delivered number of presentations at various national and international conferences, seminars, workshops, and webinars. Dr Nayik also fills the roles of editor, associate editor, assistant editor and reviewer for many food science and technology journals. Modassar Ranjha is a young Food Science researcher. He has authored and co-authored many papers in various international journals. He has also contributed book chapters in various books. His preliminary research focuses on Extraction of Phytoconstituents from Agro Wastes by Green Extraction Techniques. He has preliminary worked on Sonication and Maceration Techniques. He is currently working on a couple of papers and book chapters on green extraction and non-thermal technologies. Professor, Xin-An Zeng is currently dean of School of Food Science and Engineering in South China University of Technology (SCUT), Guangzhou, PR China. He is Associate Editor of “Journal of Food Processing and Preservation”. He is also the State-Level Appraisal Judge as a wine taster of China alcoholic drinks industry association, reviewer of S&T Award of Chinese ministry of science and technology, respectively. He was selected as one of the “Leader Talents” by ministry of science and technology, “excellent talents in the new century” by Chinese ministry of education. Currently his major research areas are focusing on green processing of foods by application of non-thermal technologies such as pulsed electric field and ultrasonic, as well as R&D and tasting of wines and vinegars produced from different subtropical fruits. He has published over 115 SCI and EI indexed papers. He has applied over 70 Chinese’s patents and about 40 of them have been approved. He has received five academic awards.
