PhD student
Massey University New Zealand
Youwei Wang is a PhD student in Food Technology at Massey University in New Zealand. His research title is “Avocado oil quality and safety – influence of fruit quality, processing, and oil storage on volatile and non-volatile compounds” under the supervision of Prof. Marie Wong, Dr. Allan Woolf, and Dr. Charles Diako, with collaboration from Prof. Selina Wang and Dr. Bertrand Matthäus. Youwei's research aims to unravel the impact of fruit quality and storage time on the quality, volatile profile, and sensory properties of cold-pressed avocado oil. Furthermore, he seeks to determine how fruit quality and malaxing conditions influence the composition of avocado oil, particularly in relation to potential contaminants like 3-MCPD and glycidyl esters, if refining is required. He is interested in food processing and food chemistry, especially in areas such as food emulsion, lipid oxidation, and protein. He can be contacted at: y.wang14@massey.ac.nz.
