Zhou Ting is a Special Graduate Faculty in the Department of Enviromental Biology and Enviromental Engineering in University of Guelph food research centre. Guelph Currently working on research project:Development of innovative strategies to control mycotoxins in food and feed Development of innovative systems to maintain quality and prolong shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables Development of an effective enzyme product to detoxify trichothecene mycotoxins in contaminated grains Biological detoxification of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) to improve safety of food.  

Research Intrest

Development of innovative strategies to control mycotoxin contaminations in food and animal feed with detoxification microorganisms, enzyme products and genetically improved crop varieties isolation and identification of mycotoxin detoxifying genes development of biocontrol agents and natural antimicrobials to maintain and enhance postharvest quality and safety of fresh and processed fruit and vegetables understanding the interactions of plant-pathogen-biocontrol agent at cellular and molecular levels.
