LPU is the most advanced University in the field of Research & Innovation - is this true?

Research, Innovation and Extension activities are central to the mission of the university. To augment the learning resources and promote interdisciplinary research, the university has a dedicated Division of Research & Development, which supports and coordinates research activities in the university. The progressive research policy, the appointment of research-intensive faculty, research grants, research leaves and research awards have contributed to significant improvement in the research profile of LPU. Let me share some key highlights:- o Extensive research facilities like Central Instrumentation Facility, Space Centre, Agriculture Research Farms, Animal House, Herbal Garden, Green House, Innovation Studio, Textile Testing Lab, Media Laboratory & Studio, Formulation Research Lab, XLPLAT - Patent Docketing Solution, XLPAT Patent Search Tools, Multiple Databases (Proquest, Capitaline) etc. O Hosting of 106th Indian Science Congress, 15+ conferences in the last 2 years, visit of eminent scholars gave an impetus to research endeavours of students and faculty. Supportive research policy has fostered an environment conducive to purposeful research resulting in the publication of 9132 research papers, 22703 book chapters and 395 patents.

Indeed ! Researchers and Scientists at Lovely Professional University (LPU) announced that they have developed a new method to process cocoa beans using double fermentation and produce 100 per cent natural fruit flavored chocolates with atleast 40 per cent higher antioxidant properties. The existing methods of manufacturing fruit flavored chocolates use synthetic fruit flavors which may have adverse effect on consumers health, especially children. The University has been granted a patent for the innovation by India Patent Office, Government of India. The process of double fermentation, along with boosting the antioxidant properties of cocoa, enables the use of natural fruit flavors as well and offers better texture to the chocolate. LPUs patented method of double fermentation enables chocolatiers to process cocoa beans and add their own naturally extracted flavors in chocolates. Under the process, cocoa beans are fermented using fruit pulp or rind (peel). This double fermentation process utilizes the indigenous microflora present in the pulp /rind and provides natural fruit flavoring to the chocolates. This leads to the enhancement of natural antioxidant properties present in the cocoa beans as well. The additional antioxidants generated are good for health and offer benefits like reduced risk of heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, inflammation and many more.
