Biography
Docent D.Sc. Ye Tian is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in Food Sciences unit, Department of Life Technologies, Faculty of Technology, University of Turku.
He has years’ experience in the field of bioactive compounds of natural sources and specializes in the analysis using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. His expertise includes: 1) plant secondary metabolites and their influencing factors (biological, environmental, or food processing), 2) bioprocessing of plant-based foods (focusing on the effect of bioprocessing on plant bioactive components), and 3) valorization of agro-industrial side-streams as innovative food products.
Research
- Anti-nutrients control and value addition of side-streams from food industry
- Bioactive compounds of varying natrual sources
- Effects of bioprocessing and storage condition on bioactive compounds in foods/food side-streams
- Effect of plant genotypes on their phytochemical profiles
Teaching
- Co-supervisor of MSc/MSc (Tech.) theses
- Supervisor of visiting researchers
