STAFF PROFILE
Dr. Mahsa Majzoobi
Mahsa Majzoobi is a Vice-Chancellor's Senior Research Fellow at RMIT. She has about 15 years of international academic and research experience in plant food products especially in grain chemistry and processing, starch manufacturing, characterisation and modification, food waste transformation through upcycling and value-addition, and novel trends in food productions such as functional foods, vitamin-fortified foods, meat-free, low GI, and gluten-free products, has published about 150 research and review papers/book chapters.
Mahsa has developed a professional portfolio by working across the food supply chain with NSW Department of Primary Industries, CSU and RMIT Universities and has conducted/led research projects for several food and grain industries. Mahsa' research outputs have helped food industry solve its technological/operation problems related to food manufacturing, reducing/transforming food waste, new product development, sensory/consumer behaviour and value-addition.
