Dr. Cui’s research interests are focused on the structure and functional properties of dietary fibre and hydrocolloids from agricultural products and their applications in foods. His expertise includes extraction, fractionation, analysis of natural polysaccharides, and elucidation of polysaccharide structures using methylation analysis, 2D NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques. He has been studying the bioactivity and structure-function relationship of polysaccharides by examining their conformation, rheological properties and functionality using light scattering and computer modelling approaches, and developing methodologies and process technologies to incorporate soluble dietary fibre into food products to exert health benefits.
Dr. Cui founded a journal entitled “Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre and acts as is the Editor-in-Chief of this journal. He is also Guest Editor and Editorial Board Member of Food Hydrocolloids. He was a Director of the Board of CIFST and chaired the 6th International Hydrocolloids Conference (Guelph, Canada in 2002), co-chaired the 2012 CIFST Conference at Niagara Falls, and acts as Chair of the13th International Hydrocolloids Conference (to be hold on May 16-20, 2016 in Guelph, Canada). He authored and edited two books: “Polysaccharide Gums from Agricultural Products: Processing, Structures and Functionality (2000) and “Food Carbohydrate: Chemistry, Physical Properties and Applications (CRC Press, 2005). Dr. Cui holds six patents and has published over 160 peer-reviewed scientific papers and dozens of book chapters in the area of food carbohydrates.
Dr. Cui graduated from the Peking University, China with a B.Sc. degree in 1983, from Jiangnan University (Wuxi, China) with a M.Sc. degree in 1986, and from the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, Manitoba) with a Ph.D. degree in 1993 major in food carbohydrates.visualizza meno
