Research Focus
In terms of scientific research, I mainly focused on the following area: 1) Bio-catalysis and transformation of lipid. In this field, we worked on the enzymatic modification of lipid by aqueous phase catalysis. A decent platform of 'lipid modification by enzyme' was set up with a series key technologies been broke through. Based on this platform, we carried out the projects including enzymatic degumming, DAG, TG-PUFA, human milk substitute and environmental friendly plasticizer, etc. Lot projects have been in the industrialization stage with several state of art technologies. 2) The development of key enzymes. To tie in with biological catalysis and transformation, our team also carried out the reasearch of enzyme molecular cloning, mutant enzyme and biological computation.
