Indian scientist showcases black rice research at Dubai food safety Conf

November 19, 2025 | BK News Service

Dubai/Varanasi, Nov 18: Cutting-edge Indian food science took center stage at the esteemed Dubai International Food Safety Conference. The crucial presentation was delivered by Prof. Dinesh Chandra Rai, a distinguished food scientist, the Vice-Chancellor of BRA Bihar University and Senior Professor at Banaras Hindu University. Prof. Rai was joined at the international event by many colleagues and research scholars from BHU, highlighting institutional support for the research.

The focus of Prof. Rai's paper, "Bio-functional Compounds in Pigmented Rice: Recent Updates on Extractions, Delivery Mode, and Application in Food Systems," centers on the potential of India’s indigenous crops. Specifically, the team studied Chak-Hao black rice—a GI-tagged crop rich in powerful antioxidants known as anthocyanins.
The research described an efficient 'green extraction' technology that isolates these health compounds quickly and with minimal environmental impact. A key development was the successful addition of these anthocyanin-rich extracts into functional dairy products, such as low-calorie ice cream. This work turns everyday consumables into accessible health foods that can help manage lifestyle diseases.
The Dubai International Food Safety Conference, organized by Dubai Municipality and supported by bodies like the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), is a significant global venue for discussing the future of safe and sustainable food systems.
Commenting on the importance of presenting Indian research on this world stage, Prof. Dinesh Chandra Rai stated: Presenting this research at the Dubai International Food Safety Conference is a tremendous opportunity for global validation. It means that innovations originating from India are robust, replicable, and ready to contribute to the global discussion on sustainable and safe food systems.
Prof. Rai further added that the participation of this delegation from BHU and BRABU truly confirms the strength of Indian academic research and our ability to provide innovative, science-backed solutions to global food and public health challenges."
Academic fratentiry and alumni association from both BRABU and BHU extended their profound felicitation on this significant achievement.
