Indrawati Oey (born 29 April 1970[1]) is a New Zealand food scientist, full professor at the University of Otago.[2]

Early life and education[edit]

Oey was born in Malang, East Java, Indonesia in 1970.[3]

Academic career[edit]

After a PhD at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Oey moved to the University of Otago and rose to full professor and head of the Department of Food Sciences.[2][4][5][6] She is a principal investigator of the Riddet Institute, a national food research centre in New Zealand.[7]

Her work has focused on the biochemical reactions that affect multiple aspects of food quality, including texture, flavour, colour, and nutrition.[8] At Otaga, she has led a project on applications of pulsed electric field equipment to improve food quality and efficiency of processing.[9] She has also worked on edible food packaging to tackle problems of current plastic packaging.[10]

Honours and awards[edit]

In 2016 Oey was elected a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Food Science and Technology.[11][12]
