I’m Associate Professor Dr Fazilah Ariffin an academic staff in School of Industrial Technology, Universiti Of Sains Malaysia. Has been attached to the Food Science Divison for almost 15 years.

My research work focuses mainly in the area of food biopolymers ( starch and starch blend coating and edible film with anti microbial properties), flavours from tropical fruits and herbs, utilization of agricultural waste from oil palm (Sap and palm kernel cake) and birds and poultry processing industry.
I am also actively involve with the starch committee in developing Malaysian Standards with Department of Standards Malaysia and SIRIM berhad the national standard and accreditation body of Malaysia.
