About
Yanhui Zhang is a leading researcher in food materials science, specializing in the design and characterization of structured edible systems. Her work focuses on the rheology, tribology, and oral processing of oleogel-based high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs), with a particular emphasis on how microstructural tailoring can modulate sensory and mastication properties. In her highly cited 2024 study, Zhang demonstrated how controlling the microstructure of oleogel-based HIPEs directly influences their lubrication behavior and breakdown during chewing, offering a rational framework for developing healthier, fat-reduced foods that maintain desirable texture and mouthfeel. This work, which has already garnered 26 citations, bridges materials engineering and sensory science, providing critical insights for the food industry. Zhang’s contributions are pivotal for advancing the understanding of structure–function relationships in soft matter, with implications for designing palatable, low-fat products. Her research is widely recognized for its interdisciplinary approach, combining rheology, tribology, and in vivo mastication analysis to solve real-world formulation challenges.
