We follow Nicoline Rosenvold while she and three other students present their newly developed non-alcoholic drinks to Carlsberg. She talks about our five basic tastes and about the dynamics of taste. Nicoline is currently writing a thesis under the Master's program in Food Innovation and Health at the Department of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH FOOD). In the program, students engage in e.g. sensory science, including the importance of taste on the population level.

Wed, 19 Jun 2019 13:58:00 GMT

The conference will be held from July 7th to 10th 2020, at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. This will be the first HPBB conference in Scandinavia.

HPBB2020 addresses the elucidation of effects, mechanistic understanding and knowledge-based exploitation of high pressure induced changes in various biological systems. The conference will bring together scientists, students and professionals to maximise the application of high pressure technology and to learn about exciting research in high pressure bioscience and biotechnology. HPBB2020 is an opportunity for presenting and discussing research and the latest developments relevant to applications of high pressure across the HP subspecialties: food science, biochemistry & biophysics, microbiology & cell biology, medicine & pharmacology, and analytical technologies.

In Denmark, the modern history of food science begins with the establishment of the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University (RVAU) at Frederiksberg in 1858 – which today is a part of the University of Copenhagen. The RVAU employed researchers/teachers who, through research, dissemination and education, paved the way for a huge export adventure of butter and bacon at a time when Denmark was struggling to keep up the export of cereals.

One of the key researchers was Niels Johannes Fjord, the Niels Bohr of food science in Denmark. Fjord was extremely energetic and set up his own experimental institution, where he and colleagues from the RVAU developed brilliant solutions to problems that were crucial to Denmark’s economy and helped to create the foundation for the Danish welfare system. Fjord’s research became incredibly important when falling prices and high international competition in the grain market meant that Denmark had to majorly reorganise its agriculture. Butter and bacon became the new gold for the country’s export earnings. The question is whether today we are facing a similarly radical shift in food production?

The challenges of climate, human demand and the UN’s sustainability goals are forcing us to question our current food production. Perhaps we are on the threshold of a new revolution, having to come up with solutions to feed an increasing population in a sustainable way.

Professor of Food Chemistry Leif Skibsted is the host who shows us the past of Danish food science and draws threads right up to the present.

FOOD has employed an engineer to control its pilot plants

Mon, 30 Apr 2018 13:54:28 GMT

The Department of Food Science (FOOD) is upgrading its research dairy during 2018 and 2019 and has invested in a new brewery, to be delivered in early 2019. Both investments will upgrade the university’s food technology platform considerably, and, as of February 1 this year, FOOD is employing engineer Sylvain Barjon as its pilot plant manager.
