Research Group: Plant Nutrients and Food Quality
Forskergruppen Plantenæringsstoffer og Fødevarekvalitet anvender avanceret analytisk kemi til at koble plante- og fødevarevidenskab.
Fødevarekvalitet inkluderer en lang række egenskaber såsom indhold og tilgængelighed af næringsstoffer, proteinniveau, aminosyresammensætning samt forekomst af potentielt sundhedsskadelige stoffer som for eksempel tungmetaller. Vi udvikler analytiske metoder, som muliggør undersøgelse af nøglefaktorer styrende kvaliteten af plantebaserede fødevarer og foder. Vores mål er at levere ny viden og anbefalinger inden for bæredygtig og ressourceeffektiv planteproduktion, som samtidig giver sikre, autentiske og næringsrige fødevarer.
- Theme 1 - Food quality
- Theme 2 - Plant nutritional aspects of food quality
- Theme 3 - Analytical method development
For students wishing to work within these topics,. M.Sc. and B.Sc. projects are currently available. Please contact Kristian Holst Laursen (holst@plen.ku.dk) for further information.
