Food Technologist and Innovation Leader
About Dr. Harold Wang
In 2019, Dr. Harold Wang led the team that re-engineered thermal processing for plant-based meats, reducing energy use by 37% while preserving heme stability and mouthfeel across 18 months of shelf life. His lab’s patented pulsed electric field, assisted fermentation protocol now underpins three commercial mycoprotein lines in Southeast Asia, where it cut water consumption by 62% versus traditional submerged culture. Unlike peers who treat food systems as optimization problems, Wang insists on ‘sensory fidelity’, a principle he developed after tasting a nutrient-dense cassava flour prototype that failed commercially because its gritty texture triggered visceral rejection, not nutritional logic. He keeps a rotating archive of failed prototypes in his office: not as cautionary exhibits, but as tactile references for how molecular behavior translates to human perception. His work bridges food physics and behavioral nutrition, not just what food does in the body, but how it lands in memory, culture, and daily ritual.
