Master of Science in Biosolutions

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 07:43:39 GMT

Biosolutions is a new master's programme based in Kalundborg and closely connected to the biotech industry. The Head of Studies talks about biosolutions as a field of science, and Ariadna and Lukas talk about student life in Kalundborg. You can also meet business representatives from two large biotech companies, both in search for graduates within the field of biosolutions.

Rasmus Riemer Jakobsen is a Ph.D. student at the Department of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH FOOD), who is working on making breast milk substitutes as good as breast milk. What proteins and bacteria do substitutes lack to be able to match the real thing?

See episode 3 of Young Scientists and Food, Can a virus from poop make us thinner?

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.

PhD student Torben Sølbeck Rasmussen works in a laboratory at the Department of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH FOOD), which is called "Poop Lab". Here he makes a shit extract of viruses from thin mice, which he hopes can make thick mice thinner. If the treatment is successful and can later be transmitted to humans, it has a huge potential. Although we know that the gut microbiome has a large impact on a wide range of diseases, fecal transplantation from a healthy donor to a sick recipient is used to a limited extent today, as there may be some risks. The new approach removes some of the risk and the hope is that over time the method can be developed into a completely safe treatment.

Vibeke Orlien presents the HP lab at UCPH FOOD

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 09:13:30 GMT

Associate Professor Vibeke Olien shows how a solution of milk powder and water changes structure under high pressure in the high pressure laboratorium at the Department of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH FOOD). High Pressure allows us to modify protein and thereby customize structure and texture. The perspective is designing new types of food products.

Welcome to the 11th International Conference on High Pressure Bioscience and...

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.

The Food Detective's Toolbox

Thu, 06 Apr 2017 13:34:48 GMT

More and more cases in recent years have shown that we need methods for efficient detection of food fraud. One recent example was when meat producers mixed beef with horse meat to make more money. The lecture discusses how scientists use advanced technologies such as near-infrared spectroscopy and mathematical modeling to quickly and effectively detect cheating with food, and how the food industry itself uses technology to ensure consumers products of high and consistent quality.

Metabolomics

Thu, 06 Apr 2017 13:14:23 GMT

There is a growing interest from society and consumers to examine how food affects us. There are many dietary recommendations, including raw food, no-carb diet, vegetarian, vegan, Stone Age diet. But can we really measure the effect of these recommendations? The advanced metabolomics technology can make an offer on it and is probably our best bet to investigate health-enhancing ingredients and food.
