Tutkimus







Current research



Current research is related to two
projects: innovation project for Finnish fishery industry “Blue products-
Kalastuksen innovaatio-ohjelma” and Academy of Finland project  “Omics of oxidation – Solutions for better
quality of docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids”. Blue Products project
focuses on valorization of the side streams of fish processing. The project
studies protein and oil isolation from Baltic herring and roach, and the
quality of the isolated proteins and lipids. The omics of oxidation project
investigates the full lipidomic composition and the “omics of oxidation” of
formulations currently on the market, and develops new solutions for more
stable, safe and acceptable EPA and DHA.



Past research



PhD research work was part of
larger project between University of Helsinki, VTT Technical Research Centre of
Finland and Finnish food industry. The main aim of the project was to study the
effects of processes and structures on the stability of dispersed lipids in dry
foods. In the thesis work the oxidation behavior of foods with a dispersed
lipid phase was studied based on models (spray-dried emulsions and extruded
cereals).
