ABOUT THE EDITOR
Deepak Kumar Verma is an agricultural science
professional and is currently PhD Research
Scholar with specialization in Food Processing
Engineering at the Agricultural and Food
Engineering Department, Indian Institute of
Technology, Kharagpur, West Bengal, India. In
2012, he received a DST-INSPIRE Fellowship
for PhD study by the Department of Science &
Technology (DST), Ministry of Science and
Technology, Government of India. Mr. Verma is
currently assigned for research on “Isolation and Characterization of Aroma
Volatile and Flavoring Compounds from Aromatic and Non-aromatic Rice
Cultivars of India,” whereas during master’s degree, his research was
assigned entitled “Physico-chemical and Cooking Characteristics of Azad
Basmati (CSAR 839-3): A Newly Evolved Variety of Basmati Rice (Oryza
sativa L.).” He earned his BSc degree in Agricultural Science in 2009 from
the Faculty of Agriculture, Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur, and MSc
(Agriculture) in Agricultural Biochemistry in 2011 with first rank and also
received a department topper award from the Department of Agricultural
Biochemistry, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agricultural and
Technology, Kanpur, India. Apart from his area of specialization as plant
biochemistry, he has also built up a sound background in plant physiology,
microbiology, plant pathology, genetics and plant breeding, plant
biotechnology and genetic engineering, seed science and technology,
food science and technology, etc. In addition, he is member of different
professional bodies, and his activities and accomplishments include
conferences, seminar, workshop, training, and also the publication of
research articles, books, and book chapters.

and undergraduate levels. His research interests include development
of specially designed convenience, functional, and therapeutic foods;
extraction of nutraceuticals; and development of various low-cost food-
processing machineries. He has organized many sponsored short-term
courses and completed sponsored research projects and consultancies.
He has published various research papers in peer-reviewed international
and national journals, and proceedings, and many technical bulletins and
monographs as well. Other publications include books and book chapters
along with many patents. He has attended, chaired, and presented various
papers at international and national conferences and delivered many
invited lectures at various summer/winter schools. He has received best
poster paper awards from ISAE, 2009; ICTF, 2010; FOQSAT, 2011;
and IFT (USA), 2014. He is life member of various professional bodies,

Technologists (USA).
About the Editor ix
Altafhusain Nadaf, PhD, is working as an
Associate Professor at the Department of
Botany, Savitribai Phule Pune University,
Pune, in the area of biochemistry and molecular
genetics of scented rice for past 13 years. He
was awarded an Erasmus Mundus Action 2
India4EU II scholarship to visit the University
of Bologna, Italy, as a Visiting Professor
(2014) and a DST-BOYSCAST Fellowship
to work as a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for
Plant Conservation Genetics, Southern Cross
University, Lismore, Australia, for one year in 2010–2011. He has
received research grants from several funding agencies, including the
DST-Fast Track Scheme for Young Scientists and the DBT-Rapid Grant
for Young Investigators (RGYI). He has successfully guided several PhD
and MPhil students and women scientists (under DST-Women Scientists
Scheme: A & B). He is working as a reviewer for many international
journals. He has in his credit two books and more than 50 research papers
published in peer-reviewed national and international journals of repute.
He has presented his research work at national and international level.
His research interests are biochemistry and molecular genetics of rice
aroma volatiles. He has characterized scented rice varieties of India and
other plant species containing rice aroma volatiles following HS-SPME-
GC-MS/FID approach. At the molecular level, he has also characterized
the betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase2 (badh2) gene in the plant species
having 2-acetyl-1-pyroline (2AP) expression. In addition, he has revised
Indian Pandanaceae thoroughly with the contribution of three new species
and assessed phylogenetic relationship among the taxa using cpDNA
regions. Some of the species are now being characterized for salt-tolerant
genes and bioactive compounds.
