Dr Bo Wang is a Senior Lecturer in Food Science at the Adelaide University. His research integrates food chemistry, food engineering, and food technology, with a particular focus on engineering food molecules for tailored functionalities. His work explores interactions between proteins, polysaccharides, and polyphenols to design advanced food systems for stabilisation, structuring, and targeted delivery of bioactive compounds.
 
In addition to molecular-level design, his research also addresses process innovation, including hybrid drying technologies and emerging manufacturing approaches such as 3D food printing. To date, Bo has published over 90 peer-reviewed journal articles and holds five patents, including one that has been successfully commercialised. He collaborates closely with academic and industry partners on projects supported by national and international funding agencies.

  • Protein modification for nano- and microencapsulation
    Bo's primary research focuses on modifying food proteins through their interactions with polysaccharides and polyphenols. This strategy enables the development of nano- and microencapsulation systems to improve the stability, bioavailability, and sensory attributes of bioactive compounds such as omega-3 oils, peptides, and probiotics.

     

  • Hybrid drying technologies
    Bo is intensively involved in collaborative research on advanced drying methods for agricultural and food products. These efforts aim to optimise drying kinetics, reduce energy use, and enhance product quality by integrating technologies such as microwave- and infrared-assisted drying.

     

  • Emerging interest: 3D food printing
    With growing interest in personalised nutrition and food design, Bo is exploring opportunities to apply 3D printing technologies in food formulation and ingredient delivery, particularly in collaboration with colleagues in engineering and food design.
