He served the organization for several years and became its director in 1994.[citation needed] He headed the centre for 13 years till his appointment as the director-general of CSIR in December 2006 and was supposed to take charge in January 2007, but did not assume office.[7] In 2008,[2] he was selected as the president of the International Academy of the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IAFoST), a global association of food technologists and held the office till 2010.[3]

Prakash is known to have done extensive research in structural homology of seed proteins and the association-dissociation and denaturation profiles of these proteins. His work is reported to have assisted in the understanding of the behaviour of several seed proteins from a stability perspective and revealed more about their structural biology.[4] His research findings have been documented by way of over 200 articles published in CFTRI publications[8] and other peer reviewed national and international journals.[9] His researches are known to have wide-ranging applications in commercial food industry and he holds 50 patents,[10] some of them on preserved sugar cane juice, coconut sap (Neera) and baked snacks.[11] Besides, he has written six books and 20 review chapters;[12] Leafy spices, a reference guide on the botanical and agricultural aspects of agro-products yielding essential oils of leafy spices, is one among them.[13] During his tenure as the head of CFTRI, he established the Advanced School of Protein Chemistry and Technology, for advanced research.[2] His contributions are also reported behind the CFTRI initiative to supply 200,000 food packages to the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that hit the Indian coasts, along with other areas.[2]

Prakash serves as the president of two major food-related organizations, namely, the International Society of Nutraceuticals And Nutritionals (ISNAN), and Indian Academy of Nutraceuticals and Nutritionals (IANAN), and is a former president of the Nutrition Society of India (NSI).[14] During his stint at CFTRI, he coordinated the activities of the United Nations University at the institution and chaired the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) panel on Food Losses and Food Wastes[15] as well as the FAO High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE).[12] He serves as a member of the Editorial Board of Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, a journal published by the Institute of Food Technologists,[16] chairs the Advisory Board of the NuFFooDS Magazine,[15] and sits in the executive editorial Board of the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, published by John Wiley & Sons.[17] He is an IUoFST visiting faculty at Saigon Technology University and an adjunct professor of Nutrition at the Tufts University, Boston.[15] He chairs the Task Force on Nutritionals and Nutraceuticals of International Union of Nutritional Sciences and Technology and the Research Advisory Committee of the Central Institute of Fisheries Technology (CIFT), Kochi. He is also a member-at-large of the Global Harmonization Initiative (GHI), a scientific community facilitating scientific advancement in food technology.[18]

Prakash, a Distinguished Scientist of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research,[14] is reported to have received over 55 awards including award lectures,[15] starting with the 1988 Golden Jubilee Award of Mysore University, followed by P. S. Sarma Memorial Award of the Society of Biological Chemists (India) in 1989[23] and Laljee Godhoo Smarak Nidhi Award of the Association of Food Scientists and Technologists, India in 1992.[20] He was awarded the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize of the CSIR, the highest Indian science award, in 1996[4] and the Government of Karnataka awarded him the second highest civilian award of the state, Rajyotsava Prashasthi, the same year.[15] He received the Indian Independence Golden Jubilee Award in 1997 and two awards, Prof. V.
