Dr. Jin Zhang is an Associate Professor at the College of Food Science and Engineering, Northwest A&F University, China. Her research focuses on oil absorption mechanisms and oil-reduction technologies in fried foods, particularly the interactions among starch, proteins, and polyphenols in food systems. Her work integrates food microstructure evolution and mass transfer dynamics to understand oil migration and retention during frying.
She has systematically investigated starch structural features, pore structure formation, and interfacial interactions in food matrices, contributing significantly to low-fat fried food development. Dr. Zhang has published multiple SCI-indexed papers in internationally reputed food science journals including Food Chemistry, Carbohydrate Polymers, and Food Research International, and has applied for several Chinese invention patents.
