Research Work

Dr. Jayasree Joshi’s research focuses on advancing sustainable millet processing and storage technologies to address postharvest losses, nutritional degradation, and storage stability. Her work integrates food process engineering with artificial intelligence, machine learning and multivariate analysis techniques. She has developed predictive models for estimating the allowable storage life of pearl millet and finger millet and introduced innovative processing strategies that minimize decortication losses while preserving nutritional quality. Her research provides scientific tools for optimizing millet processing, improving storage management, and enhancing value addition across the millet supply chain. These contributions support climate-smart agriculture, food and nutritional security, and sustainable processing technologies, offering practical solutions for farmers, processors, and the food industry while promoting the wider commercialization of nutrient-rich millets.
