Toni Wang Recognized for Research Involving Lipids and Associated Products<\/em> <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. \u2014 A professor of food science at University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, Tong (Toni) Wang has been named as the recipient of the 2020 Alton E. Bailey Award presented by the American Oil Chemists\u2019 Society (AOCS). The award commemorates Bailey\u2019s contributions to fats and oils research by recognizing outstanding research and exceptional service in the field of lipids and associated products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not Wang\u2019s first award\nfrom the society. In 2016 she was named an AOCS Fellow and has also been\nrecognized with the AOCS’ Timothy L. Mounts Award in 2013. Wang says she found\nher academic home while in graduate school and has passionately served\nthe AOCS<\/em>family in various capacities\nthroughout her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to joining the UT\nDepartment of Food Science in 2019, Wang was a member of the faculty at Iowa\nState University (ISU) for 19 years. She studied food science and technology,\nreceiving her master\u2019s degree at the University of Arkansas and her Ph.D. at\nISU. She is the 2014 recipient of the ISU Mid-Career Achievement in Research\nAward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her work at ISU focused on\nchemistry and value-added utilization of agriculture products such as soybeans,\ncorn, egg, dairy and other oleaginous biomass, primarily for their lipid components.\nShe continues those studies at UT, where she specifically endeavors to create functional\nlipid materials to improve nutrition and widen their applications, including with\nwater and grease-resistant and antimicrobial coatings for food and paper. She\nalso studies ways to enhance egg and dairy product quality and value, such as fractionation\nof yolk and dairy phospholipids and the bioactive yolk antibody IgY as well as\nmilk fat globular membrane proteins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout her career Wang has\nreceived numerous industry and federal research grants that support her\ncreative work and has trained 36 graduate students and 20 post-doctoral\nappointees and visiting scientists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy accomplishment in research\nreflects teamwork from diligent students and collaborative faculty,\u201d Wang says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AOCS\u2019 Alton E. Bailey\nAward is sponsored by Archer Daniels Midland Company<\/em><\/a>. It also usually includes an invited lecture at the\nAOCS Annual Meeting & Expo in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, which was cancelled\nthis year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through its land-grant mission of research, teaching and extension, the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture touches lives and provides Real. Life. Solutions. utia-dev.tennessee.edu<\/a>.
