Biography

Muhammad Abdurrahman Mas, M.Sc. completed his Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences at McGill University, Montreal, Canada, in 2015. He then proceeded to complete his Master of Science in Food Safety and Quality Assurance at the University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada. His research experience centers mostly around the preservation of food safety and quality, with his master’s research project focusing on “Safety of In-home Fruit Drying Process”.

He has continued his research into the field of food preservation with research on the preservation of breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg) through osmotic dehydration and convective dehydration. He is also currently part of the DIKTI-funded research project investigating the application of freeze, spray drying, and co-crystallization to preserve the carotenoids in Red Fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam.) Currently, he is also leading the team in a collaborative research project with TECNOVA in Spain to investigate potential applications of avocado seed powder and extraction methods of coconut oil. In terms of CSR, he has experience in teaching food safety for food service operations, assessing food safety/quality issues in an industrial bakery, and providing solutions to the aforementioned bakery.

His Innovation experience is much more varied, with projects ranging from the development of plant-based liquid shortenings to the development of plant-based meat alternatives. Most of these projects come from his work as a consultant in the Food Innovation Center (FIC) at i3L, a center for industry research open to the public, where the industry can come to an agreement to fund innovation projects that will be mutually beneficial to both parties involved. However, in regard to the plant-based meat alternatives, through the i3L Innovation Fund, he has aided students from the ideation phase in the development all the way until the launch of the product slated to be in 2022.
