Biography

Farhan Binti Mohd Said is currently an Associate Professor of the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering Technology, UMP. She obtained her first degree in Bachelor of Technology (Honours) (Food) from Universiti Sains Malaysia. Later, she pursued her master degree in Bioprocess Engineering in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. During her master study, she was dealing with spray dry of encapsulated probiotic. Her Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD.) was awarded by Massey University, New Zealand in the field of Bioprocess Engineering in food. In her PhD. studies, she was working with the pigment production using solid-state fermentation process. Her knowledge on the fermentation techniques is outstanding and vast.

In the faculty, she has been teaching various subjects, such as analytical chemistry, biology for engineers, computer programming and Food Engineering. Apart from teaching, Dr Farhan is also committed in research and consultation in the field of food and bioprocess engineering. She is always collaborating and sharing her expertise to industries. 

Dr Farhan main research interests include the fermentation process technology, food product development, food preservation, using statistical approach. She has conducted and completed numerous funded research projects, funded by the Ministry of Higher Education and Universiti Malaysia Pahang. She has also published numerous journal papers and seminar presentations/papers in conference proceedings at national and international level. Outside of academia, she was appointed as Fatwa Commission Member of MPJA (Japan). Besides, she is a Certified Trainer of Halal Executive (JAKIM).
