OverviewAI-generated summary

Ya‐Jane Wang's research program investigates the molecular and physicochemical properties of agricultural products, with a particular focus on rice and corn. Her work explores how processing methods and genetic factors influence characteristics such as protein concentration, amylose content, and starch digestibility. Recent publications examine the effects of acid hydrolysis and heat-moisture treatment on starch properties, the impact of protein denaturation and lipid removal on rice quality, and the relationship between grain porosity, hardness, and chemical composition.

Further research by Wang and her collaborators delves into complex interactions within food matrices. This includes investigating polyphenol-protein interactions and their effect on the rheological properties of purple waxy rice, as well as enhancing amylose-lipid complex formation and starch digestibility in corn starch through ultrasonic and microwave treatments combined with rice bran oil or linoleic acid. Her work also touches upon the germination process of rice grains and its implications for technological properties and new product development.

Wang holds a strong publication record, with 135 total publications and over 5,400 citations, reflected in her h-index of 39. She is recognized as a highly cited researcher. She actively leads a research group and collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Annegret Jannasch, Ana Gonzalez, Sun‐Ok Lee, and Andy Mauromoustakos.
