Dr. Linda Akajiaku
I am currently engaged in innovative research within the realm of food processing and preservation, with a primary focus on harnessing the potential of indigenous tropical almond fruits. My work delves into optimizing processing techniques to enhance the preservation and value addition of these unique fruits. Through a comprehensive approach, I aim to contribute to the sustainable development of food systems by promoting the utilization of local and nutritious resources. This research encompasses various stages of the food system, from processing to distribution, with the overarching goal of creating value-added products that align with both cultural and nutritional needs. By integrating traditional knowledge with modern processing methods, my endeavor seeks to make a positive impact on the local food system, fostering economic development and enhancing food security.
