Professor, University of Aarhus |
Dr. Xuebing Xu received his PhD from the Technical University of Denmark in Chemical Engineering and MSc/BSc from Henan University of Technology, China, in Food Science and Technology. Dr. Xu had short visiting research stays in Nagoya University, Japan and The University of Georgia, USA. He is now professor in Agro-Biotechnology Science in the University of Aarhus, Denmark.
Dr. Xuebing Xu has long strong research in enzyme technology and lipid product/process development. The research involves in enzymatic technology development for functionalisation of traditional fat stuffs as well as tailor-making of structured lipids for health and nutrition. Physical characterization of lipids and products as well as process monitoring technology represents another focused area. Sustainable enzymology and green solvent technology become a recent focus in research, including pioneering research concerning ionic liquid-mediated enzymatic modification of bulky oils and fats for ingredients or biofuels processing. The research profile covers model-assisted design of task-specific ionic liquids, protocol design, separation and scale-up technology. The new opportunity for value-added utilisation of lipids and agricultural products from green solvents (SCCO2 and ionic liquids) has greatly expanded the research into polar lipids, lipid-associated carbohydrates and lipid-related pharmaceuticals, with strong consideration of sustainability and environmental impact.
Dr. Xuebing Xu has published more than 100 papers in international journals as well as more than 50 chapter or proceeding papers. He is in the editorial board of Journal of the American Oil Chemists´Society, The Open Biotechnology Journal, and the European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology.
