Choices of foods and diets are the most important factor involved in the development of lifestyle related diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, and malnutrition, which increase the risk of cognitive decline, dementia, and depression. In this broad field, our research team works with various in-vitro and in-vivo models investigating the following focus areas:Preventive action of food and diets

The aim of the Fundamental Food Engineering group is to increase our fundamental understanding of food processing. All scales and types of technical processes transforming raw materials into food are of interest although the traditional focus is on industrial food processing. We build understanding by combining experimental methods, chemistry, physics, engineering know-how and mathematical modelli

Advanced process engineering for resource-efficient production. When producing products, we want to optimize the use of resources such as raw materials, energy, equipment for the desired product quality and production speed. This is a complex task and one way is to use model-based computational techniques. Advanced process engineering involves first developing a reliable mathematical model of the

Our group work with novel process strategies for isolation and concentration of plant proteins, from agricultural by-streams. The vision is to utilize these streams that is currently not used to its full potential, and process the macronutrients into novel food products from materials that had otherwise been used to feed or combustion. Example of materials used in the research is rapeseed press ca

Absorption of carbon dioxide occurs in several processes. In the production of biogas or synthetic natural gas from biomass, carbon dioxide must be removed from the produced gas before it can be used as a vehicle fuel or injected into the natural gas network. In the chemical industry, there is often a need to separate carbon dioxide from gas streams. Carbon dioxide capture can also be used for Car
