Primary tabs

Dr. Vijay Rakesh Reddy has joined Agricultural Research Service (ARS) during July 2015 and has undergone 3 months of Foundation Course (FOCARS) at ICAR-NAARM, Hyderabad. Later he was posted at ICAR-Central Institute for Arid Horticulture, Bikaner, Rajasthan where he has worked on postharvest management, handling and value addition of various arid fruits and vegetables. After serving for five years at Bikaner (the Heart of Thar Desert), he got transferred to ICAR-IIHR, Bengaluru during August 2020 and since then he has been posted at the Division of Post Harvest Technology and Agricultural Engineering. Currently, he is associated with projects on postharvest management, minimal processing and value addition of tropical fruits and vegetables. He is currently working on standardization of physical treatments for control of postharvest diseases in fruits like papaya, guava, mango and custard apple.

Specialisation: 
Post Harvest Technology of Fruits and Vegetables
Qualification: 
PhD (Post Harvest Technology)
Experience (No. of Years): 
7.5

During his service at ICAR-CIAH, he has developed postharvest handling and packaging protocol for fresh dates, and ber fruits. Standardized pre-harvest sprays for inducing uniform ripening in phalsa fruits to reduce the number of pickings and save labour. Developed various value added products viz. aonla based mouth freshener; kachri based curry powder, snap melon ketchup, ber pulp based toffee, Khejri extrudates, Iron fortified aonla candy etc. Developed protocol for chuhhara preparation from date cv. Medjool and standardized pretreatments for controlling their browning during storage. He also screened various sour genotypes of pomegranate for anardana making. He standardized drying methods for dehydrating unmarketable ber and date fruits which have the potential use as topping with breakfast cereals and Museli like products. Currently, at IIHR, he has screened the potentiality of various biopolymers for making composite edible coatings to be applied over various fruits and vegetables. Also screened various volatile and non-volatile organic compounds for antimicrobial activity against the food borne pathogens and spoilage microbes. He is also associated with development of active modified atmosphere packaging technology for minimally processed fruits viz. jackfruit, papaya, pineapple, muskmelon, pomegranate for extended storage life and quality.
