Usha Thiyam-holländer
Associate Professor
Department of Human Nutritional Sciences
Canada
Biography
Dr. Thiyam-Holländer's research is centered around the extraction, quantification and isolation of minor components such as phenolic compounds from by-products of edible oil processing, mainly canola. She is also researching the impact of various novel aspects of processing on canola oil and minor components. Her focus is also on plant-based functional foods and nutraceutical ingredients and the impact of innovative technology, isolation and optimization.
Research Interest
Impact of minor components and food quality: isolation, characterization. By-products processing, Lipid oxidation and antioxidants: impact of processing on canola, hemp and mustard oils, Functional foods and Nutraceuticals: isolation, optimization and bioactivity.
