Guoqiang Zhang

Guoqiang Zhang serves as a Teaching Fellow at Coventry University within the College of Engineering, Environment and Science and School of Science. His academic foundation spans food technology, science, and nutritional sciences from the University of Reading.

His educational qualifications include:

• BSc Food Technology with Bio-processing, University of Reading, UK
• MSc Food Science, University of Reading, UK
• PhD Food and Nutritional Sciences, University of Reading, UK

Dr. Zhang's research centers on food sustainable development (aligned with UN SDGs 2 and 12) and food by-products valorisation. Key focus areas include: (1) transforming food residues into functional food ingredients; (2) extracting high-value compounds (lipids, proteins, phenolics) through green techniques; and (3) enhancing plant-based food digestibility by reducing anti-nutritional factors. His work bridges food innovation with environmental sustainability through novel processing methodologies.

Analysis of his 2023-2024 publications reveals consistent emphasis on melon seed valorisation, with comparative studies on extraction methods, bread fortification, and phytochemical profiling. His research demonstrates systematic exploration of agricultural by-product upcycling to improve food quality, stability, and nutritional value.
