Assoc. Prof. Gun-Hean Chong
Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia Dr.
Gun-Hean Chong is an Associate Professor at Universiti Putra
Malaysia (UPM), and the Head of Department of Food Technology,
Faculty of Food Science and Technology, UPM. At the Faculty, he
teaches fundamental food engineering, food units operation and
physical properties of food. He received his Bachelor’s degree in
Process and Food Engineering, Master’s degree in Agricultural
Engineering, and PhD in Chemical Engineering. His primary research
interests are supercritical carbon dioxide and food engineering
processes. In the past, he has been a visiting researcher at Delft
University, Netherlands, and Tohoku University, Japan. Dr. Chong has
been working on solubility of compounds in supercritical carbon
dioxide and extraction of bioactive compounds from bio-matrices with
supercritical carbon dioxide. Currently, he is working on hybrid
extraction technique, such as ultrasonic and dense carbon dioxide
for the separation of phyto-nutrients from industrial by-products,
namely the palm oil industry. He is also working on tailored-made
smart powder with supercritical carbon dioxide to produce “the
delicious medicine”. During his many years as a food engineer, Dr.
Chong has been granted several research funding from industrial
partners as well as the Malaysia’s Government to tackle issues and
problems related to food processing. He has supervised five PhD
students and ten Master students. He has published 33 scientific
papers, two books and two book chapters, and currently serves as one
of the Associate Editors for the JCR-indexed International Food
Research Journal.
