Dr Ashwantha Enjapoori is the founder and CEO of Ori Scientific, bringing extensive expertise in dairy science, milk proteins, proteomics, analytical method development and food product innovation.
He completed his PhD at Deakin University, Australia, in 2014, where his research investigated the composition of monotreme milk proteins and microRNAs, as well as the endocrine regulation of milk protein genes. He later continued at Deakin University as a postdoctoral fellow, conducting advanced research on bovine and human beta-caseins, bioactive beta-casomorphin peptides, and the relationship between A1/A2 beta-casein proteins and health-related outcomes.
From 2018, Dr Enjapoori worked with Noumi Limited, formerly Freedom Foods Group Limited, as a Senior Research Scientist. In this role, he established a mass spectrometry-based proteomics laboratory and developed advanced analytical methods for dairy and plant-based ingredients, including lactoferrin, beta-caseins, whey proteins and plant-based milk products.
His technical expertise includes:
- Milk protein and peptide analysis
- Lactoferrin purity and quantification
- Industrial Lactoferrin Purification Resin Analysis
- A1/A2 beta-casein analysis
- Proteomics and mass spectrometry-based method development
- Fast protein liquid chromatography using ÄKTA pure systems
- Dairy ingredient quality assessment
- Product development and technical troubleshooting
- Analytical support for domestic and international dairy markets
Through Ori Scientific, Dr Enjapoori applies this expertise to help clients with analytical testing, dairy and food product development, pilot-scale research, technical consulting and innovation support.
