Bhimanagouda S. Patil Dr. Bhimu Patil is the Professor and Director of Vegetable and Fruit Improvement Center. His research focus on multi-disciplinary “Foods for Health” led to the publication of more than 135 peer reviewed research papers and 15 awards. Drs. Patil and Yves Desjardin initiated an international symposium “FAVHealth” symposium in 2005, which was hosted in Houston 2007. He has chaired or co-chaired 25 symposiums. He was an invited speaker, including plenary speaker, for his scientific research and educational excellence by several countries including China, South Korea, Brazil, Indonesia, Spain, Sweden, France, India, Canada, Portugal, and different states in the United States. He has developed two multi-disciplinary and multi-state first-of-its kind course, “Science of Foods for Health” and “Phytochemicals in Fruits and Vegetables to Improve Human Human Health”.
Guddadarangavvanahally K. Jayaprakasha G. K. Jayaprakasha has 23 years of research and 3 years of industrial experience focused on isolation of natural products from fruits, vegetables, spices, and medicinal plants as well as semi-synthesis of bioactive lead natural products and their biological evaluation for the treatment of cancer in vitro models. His research involves bioassay directed discovery, purification, and chemical characterization of natural compounds using preliminary in vitro assays such as anticancer, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. He has also isolated and characterized >80 novel, rare, and bioactive compounds from Citrus, Pomegranate, Carrots, Cinnamon, Lichen, Turmeric and Garcinia. He filed 24 patents in the United States, Europe, and India. Dr. Jayaprakasha has published >140 research papers, reviews, and book chapters, and has made 130 presentations in national and international meetings. In addition, he has co-edited one ACS symposium series book. Based on his research accomplishments, he has been admitted as “Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry” (FRSC), Royal Society of Chemistry, Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Coralia Osorio Roa, Dr. Sc, belongs to the Department of Chemistry of Universidad Nacional de Colombia-sede Bogotá, as an Associate Professor. Her research program is focused on sensory and biofunctional properties of foods and related chemistry. Particular areas of emphasis include flavor chemistry, pigments in foods (anthocyanins and carotenoids), natural product chemistry, and microencapsulation by spray-drying. Recent efforts have been moved to the chemical ecology field. During this time, she has published over 40 original research articles and some book chapters.
Kanjana Mahattanatawee A Thai National, Kanjana Mahattanatawee, received a B.Sc. in Microbiology from Sri-Nakharinwirot University in 1988 and a M.Sc. in Industrial Microbiology from Chulalongkorn University in 1991, both in Bangkok, Thailand. In 1993 after an UNESCO fellowship in Biotechnology at Osaka University in Japan, she returned home to be a lecturer at Department of Food Technology, Siam University, Bangkok. In 2004, she finished her doctoral study in Food Science (Flavor Chemistry) under the tutelage of Prof. Russell Rouseff at the University of Florida. After a two years postdoctoral fellowship conducting research in tropical fruit flavor and bioactive compounds at USDA, ARS, Winter Haven, Florida, she returned home to Siam University. Currently, she is the Dean of the Faculty of Science, Siam University. She is also a former chair of the ACS Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry Flavor Sub-Division, a regular reviewer for the ACS Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, and the Chair of the ACS International Chemical Science Chapter in Thailand (ACS-ICSCT).
