Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada
Lamia L'Hocine is a research scientist at the Saint-Hyacinthe Research and Development Center of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (Quebec) since 2008. Her research activities focus on food proteins with a particular interest in plant proteins, their extraction, characterization and the evaluation of the impact of processing on their molecular, nutritional, functional and allergenic properties using in vitro and cellular models. Her research aims to promote alternative and sustainable Canadian protein sources by demonstrating their health benefits and developing new value-added functional protein ingredients. Her training includes a bachelor's degree in food science from the National Institute of Agronomy (Algiers, Algeria), a master's and a doctorate in food science and technology from Jiangnan University (Wuxi, China). She also completed two years of postdoctoral training at McGill University (Montreal, Quebec) and three years as an NSERC postdoctoral fellow at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec). She is an active member of the American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS, USA) and served on the executive committee of the Proteins and Co-products division as Newsletter editor-in-chief, Treasurer-Secretary, Co-Chair and Chair-elect of the division from 2015 to 2023. She has also been a regular research member of the Institute of Nutrition and Functional Foods (INAF, Quebec) since 2019.
