Jeanette Otte

Associate Professor

Primary fields of research

Associate professor in food chemistry with most activities within dairy chemistry, primarily analysis of milk proteins, derived peptides and vitamin B12, by use of CE, HPLC/UPLC and LC-MS(MS, and their functionality).

  • Enzymatic modification and hydrolysis of milk proteins to improve their functional properties, e.g. gelation and foaming
  • Production of bioactive peptides from proteins derived from foods and by-products (e.g. ACE-inhibitory, antioxidant, and antiinflammatory properties)
  • Bioactive peptides against life-style diseases
  • Analysis of milk proteins and identification of peptides (CZE, RP-HPLC, LC-MS and LC-MS/MS)
  • Analysis of low molcular weight components in meat and dairy products , e.g. vitamin B12 in milk

 

Current research

Effects of various non-thermal processing treatments of milk on milk components, e.g. fat globules, proteins and vitamin B12
