Yin Thoo works as a senior lecturer at Monash University, focusing on innovative food processing techniques to reduce post-harvest losses. Her research employs methods like encapsulation and spray drying to preserve and enhance the flavors and aromas of spice oleoresins. This work improves solubility and ensures a consistent flavor profile, making quality cooking accessible for everyone. Additionally, she is pioneering the development of affordable biopolymer-based packaging made from renewable materials, providing a sustainable alternative to plastic. Thoo’s biopolymer films exhibit strong mechanical strength and act as effective barriers to water vapor and oxygen. Collaborating with industry and research groups, she aims to minimize food supply chain post-harvest loss. Her research includes developing functional foods and repurposing food by-products through environmentally friendly methods like ozone and ultrasound treatments to extract bioactive compounds such as antioxidants and dietary fibers, thus promoting sustainability and public health.
