Biography

Dr. Muhammad Sohaib, is Associate  Professor in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, Faculty of Bio-Sciences, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore–Pakistan since December 1, 2016. He has completed his B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture with major subject as Food Technology in 2009, M.Sc. (Hons.) Food Technology in 2011 and Ph.D (Food Technology) in 2015 from National Institute of Food Science and Technology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad–Pakistan. During his M.Sc (Hons) degree, he has served as Research Associate in the HEC funded research project entitled “Selective deposition of bio-antioxidant in skeletal muscles of meat animal by dietary supplementation in feed to enhance the quality and shelf life of meat and meat products”.  

In his PhD research, he has explored the potential of antioxidants such as quercetin and alpha tocopherol for developing functional chicken meat and meat products for human nutrition. He has also worked at Meat Science Group, Department of Animal Sciences, Iowa State University, USA during the course of his PhD where he worked on evaluating the potential of in vitro antioxidants for reducing off odour compounds like aldehydes, ketones, alcohols etc produced with processing as well as storage in chicken meat patties.  Besides, he also attended “36th Annual Sausage and Processed Meats Short Course” and “HACCP Workshop for Meat, Poultry and Egg Plants” organized by Meat Laboratory, Iowa State University, USA. He is also the lead auditor for Halal foods and carried out several audits for food industries in collaboration with IFANCA. Until today, he has authored 24 publications (16 International & 8 National) in various Journals of Scientific repute. He is also a reviewer of some notable journals of Food Science and Nutrition domain. He is the member Pakistan Society of Food Scientists and Technologists.   

Area of research

Dr. Sohaib is interested in exploring the possibilities of using various feed additives as well as novel functional strategies to produce the functional food with special reference to healthy meat and meat products. Additionally, he is intended to device pragmatic strategies to tackle the escalating incidence of nutritional deficiencies with special reference to micronutrients.
