Sunandita Ghosh

Ghosh is developing clear, high-protein beverages. Most protein drinks are thick and unpleasant because proteins are sensitive to the high heat used during pasteurization, which is required for shelf‑life stability. This Purdue technology addresses problem at the molecular level by modifying the proteins themselves, an environmentally friendly process which doesn’t rely on adding stabilizers or other ingredients, resulting in a cleaner formulation.

Headshot of Sunandita Ghosh

I’m a food scientist, so I always kept in mind that my research will have a potential application, so I’m excited to join this program and learn more about what it really requires to bring a technology out of the lab and convert it into a real-world product.
