About

I like to work with food and food ingredients. I am fascinated by the effect that interactions between ingredients have on the final product quality. My goal is to get a deeper understanding of the interactions. For this, I have built expertise with different analytical techniques that help me to uncover these mechanism. I am especially interested in proteins of animal and plant origin and using them in food products for children and infants as well as active people in general (athletes and recreational).
