Specialized field:Food microbiology
Research Theme:Improvement of the biological activity of the food component using lactic acid bacteria
Obtained (planned) degree/date:Ph.D. Degree.　 31.3.2024

I am a member of the food technology department of HERAT University. Food related research are new in Afghanistan. Bioactive food ingredients are non-essential substances found in foods that can modulate one or more metabolic processes, resulting in enhanced health. The number of microbial species which may exert probiotic properties is impressive. As far as nutrition is concerned only the strains classified as lactic acid bacteria are of significance. I hope by the end of this research I will find some novel bioactive compound by using lactic acid bacteria.
