Steve W. Cui, Ph.D.
Dietary Fibre, Bioactive Polysaccharides, Value Added Processing and Bioproducts
Current research and/or projects
Dr. Cui’s research has been focused on value-added processing of cereals and pulses; attributes of dietary fibre, polysaccharides and other functional ingredients. Dr. Cui’s work is linked to the following strategic areas of AAFC: improve attributes for food and non-food uses. The international collaborations he is involved with will leverage AAFC science investments to access more scientific results and enhances relations with priority countries that are important markets and partners for Canada.
Research and/or project statements
- Incorporation of Canadian pulse-based ingredients into rice noodle targeting the Chinese population
- Natural polysaccharide based binders/Hydrocolloids
- Effects of water soluble polysaccharides on intestinal immune regulation and its mechanism
- Structure analysis and biological activity of active polysaccharides from food
Professional activities / interests
- Structure analysis of bioactive polysaccharides and dietary fibre
- Value-added processing of crops and bioproducts
- Healthy food products for diabetics and seniors
