The Confucian saying “When you drink water, please remember the men who dug the well” has helped Florentinus Gregorius Winarno learn about many important things in life.
Born in Klaten, Central Java, on Feb. 15, 1938, Winarno was brought up in a destitute family. His father, R.M. Mitrorekso, worked as warden, and his mother was an illiterate housewife. As his parents were very poor, life was hard at that time, and the young Winarno had to struggle in order to be able to go to school.
“When I was a child, I dreamed of being a great teacher. Ibu Sri, my elementary school teacher, played an important role in my early education. I admired her very much,” Winarno said.
After leaving St. Joseph’s senior high school in Surakarta in 1956, Winarno entered the University of Indonesia. He graduated in 1962 with a degree in veterinary science.
Winarno then began his career as a vet. However, he could not stand the sight of blood and his interest shifted from animal health to dairy hygiene.
During the New Order era, Winarno, who worked as a teacher at the Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB), was awarded a scholarship by the U.S. government to study at the University of Massachusetts, majoring in food science.
As a brilliant student with straight As, Winarno had no difficulty studying in Massachusetts where academic competition was very tough at that time.
He soon caught the attention of C.R. Stumbo, a novelist and expert on thermo-bacteriology, who then became his PhD supervisor.
Winarno said he was very proud to study under Stumbo whose thermo-bacteriology theory had laid the foundation for the canned-food theory.
“Much of my work has been inspired by Stumbo’s novel Clouds over Destiny. The most valuable lesson I learned from his novel is that if we have a dream, we must also be aware of the barriers we are facing in fulfilling it,” he said.
Known as a top scientist in food science and technology, Winarno has produced 100 scholarly works published in both national and international journals. He has also written 30 books mainly on food science, nutrition and post-harvest technology. His latest book — Bogor, Hari Esok Masa Lampau (Bogor, Tomorrow and Past Time) — is devoted to Bogor city.
