Tells us a little about yourself. I am Rachana Police a graduate student in Food Science and Technology department. My journey into this field has been driven by deep passion for food and the science behind it, as well as its impact on health. I have a keen interest in Food Safety and Quality (FSQ) and product development, which drives my academic and research pursuits. Outside of my academic pursuits, I enjoy exploring new cuisines and experimenting with recipes.
What year of studies are you in? I am in my second year of the master’s program. It’s been challenging yet rewarding experience so far, and I’m eager to continue learning and growing in this field.
What drew you to the University of Nebraska? The University of Nebraska Lincoln has a strong reputation in food science and the diverse research opportunities available here were major factors that attracted me.
What aspect of food science and technology interests you the most (i.e. What is your research about)? I am particularly fascinated by food safety and quality control. I have completed my summer internship at Michael Foods as a Food Safety and Quality Corporate intern. My research focus on Quality Attributes of cumin seeds after treating with radiofrequency over storage. This work aims to optimize preservation methods while maintaining the seeds nutritional and sensory properties.
What is your typical day like? My typical day involves a balance between coursework, research and assignments. I spend my mornings attending lectures and seminars while my afternoons are dedicated to conducting experiments.
What is something that most people don’t know about you? Most people don’t know that I am an ambivert with introverted tendencies. While I enjoy socializing and collaborating with others, I also value my alone time to recharge and focus on my personal interests.
What is your life like outside of school? Outside of school, I enjoy exploring new places, trying different foods, and immersing myself in various cultures. I find these experiences enriching and they broaden my perspective. Additionally, I’m an avid reader and spend a lot of my free time with a good book. I also enjoy crocheting, which allows me to relax and express my creativity in a fulfilling way.
