Humaam Abdullah
Food Technologist
Innovating at the intersection of Food Science & Technology. I build digital solutions to drive food innovation, ensure quality, and optimize processes.
Continuous Learning & Knowledge Sharing
Through my blog and YouTube channel, I actively share insights and learn new things about innovation in the food technology world.
Future Food is a specialized digital publication platform designed to demystify complex food science concepts for students, professionals, and industry practitioners. Unlike generic food blogs, this platform takes a deep-dive engineering approach to everyday food products. It serves as a comprehensive knowledge hub covering Food Chemistry, Process Engineering, and Sustainability.
Featured Projects
Integrating programming with food science for modern solutions and for productivity.
Flavor Compound Database
Interactive database for flavor chemical compounds (FlavorChem Hub).
FlavorChem is
a digital innovation project designed to streamline flavor research. I developed this
interactive web database using Python (Flask) to catalog flavor compounds from
scientific sources like PubChem and FoodDB into a structured, searchable format. By
organizing data based on sensory profiles and chemical structures, this tool
demonstrates my unique ability to merge Food Technology expertise with digital skills to
create practical solutions for R&D efficiency.
OrganoApp
Digitize your sensory workflow with OrganoApp. Designed to replace manual paperwork, this platform offers a comprehensive suite for sensory analysis—from Hedonic Testing for preference to Descriptive Analysis for product profiling. Key features include customizable test templates, seamless data collection, and direct CSV export for further processing. Simple yet robust, OrganoApp is the efficient choice for R&D and QC professionals aiming to upgrade their research quality.

Harvest Quality Assesment
Systematic assessment tool for harvested produce quality. HarvestQA is AI-Assisted Harvest Detector An innovative web application designed to determine crop maturity through image analysis. Users simply upload a photo of the produce, and the system processes the visual data (such as color and texture) to generate an instant "Harvest / Do Not Harvest" recommendation. I developed this tool to demonstrate how Computer Vision can replace subjective manual inspection with objective, data-driven decision-making in agriculture.

Master Recipe (FoodExplorer)
Recipe & Nutrient Profiler An advanced recipe discovery platform that goes beyond cooking instructions. Leveraging the Spoonacular API, Food Explorer provides a comprehensive nutritional breakdown for every ingredient. It visualizes detailed macro and micronutrient profiles—from proteins and fats to specific vitamins and minerals—transforming standard recipes into data-rich insights for better dietary management.
Food Tech Dictionary
Your Pocket Companion for Food Science. Navigating the vast vocabulary of the food industry can be challenging. HARASA AI serves as a comprehensive, easy-to-use dictionary dedicated to Food Technology. Whether you are identifying a specific ingredient function or decoding regulatory jargon, HARASA AI delivers clear and concise explanations to help you learn faster and work smarter.
Diet Planning App
Personalized Digital Nutrition Planner HARASA Diet is a web-based application developed to streamline meal planning and nutritional management. Designed to address the challenge of complex calorie counting, this tool allows users to generate personalized meal plans based on their specific health goals. By integrating nutritional data with a user-friendly digital interface, HARASA Diet demonstrates the application of technology to enhance personal health management and lifestyle efficiency.
Food Trend Tracker
Real-Time Market Intelligence A dynamic trend-tracking platform that aggregates real-time search data from Google and YouTube. HARASA Food Trend monitors emerging food topics and viral content across both search engines. It features an automated summarization tool that condenses complex trend data into concise, actionable insights. This project streamlines market research by helping R&D teams instantly understand what is trending and why, without sifting through raw data manually.
Chemical Reaction Analyzer
Visualize chemical reactions relevant to food technology. Chemical Reaction App An interactive web application built to instantly balance chemical equations. I developed this tool to digitize manual calculations, ensuring precision and saving time in laboratory or educational contexts. It reflects my commitment to applying programming logic to solve scientific problems.

SAP Quality Management (GUI)
I possess a deep functional understanding of SAP QM, gained through comprehensive coursework (Udemy) and solidified by practical application. To master the system's core logic, I developed a custom SAP QM Simulator. This project allowed me to practically execute and understand end-to-end workflows—specifically Inspection Lot creation, Result Recording, and Usage Decisions—proving my readiness to navigate complex ERP environments.
Sensory Evaluation
My keen interest in Sensory Evaluation is driven by a genuine passion for flavors and ingredients. I actively train my olfactory sensitivity through my perfume hobby, dissecting complex aroma compositions—a skill that directly translates to dissecting food flavor profiles. I have formalized this passion by completing the "Certified Master of Herbs & Spices" course and applying it academically in my thesis, where I analyzed the sensory acceptance and higroscopisity of Kluwek powder (Pangium edule) in mushroom broth seasoning.
Basic Programming
I possess a functional command of Python and Web Development fundamentals aimed at building practical industry tools. My technical proficiency includes defining backend logic using modular functions and managing application routing via Flask to create structured web solutions. Additionally, I am skilled in integrating third-party APIs for data retrieval and possess the capability to structure functional user interfaces using standard HTML elements.
Public Speaking
I have honed my ability to deliver clear, organized arguments under pressure, demonstrated through my participation in the University Arabic Speech Competition (Khitabah). This experience reflects my capacity to articulate complex ideas effectively to an audience, even in a multilingual setting.
