Cecilia Midtsund Kippe
Senior Adviser
I work as an advisor in the Department of Food and Health and am responsible for Nofima’s pilot plant for plant-based raw materials (fruits, berries, and vegetables). In the pilot plant, we conduct controlled processing trials that are used in both client projects and research. A typical research project might compare sensory attributes and the levels of beneficial compounds in berries under different processing methods.
I regularly deliver courses through the Competence Network for Local Food (Kompetansenettverk Lokalmat) on the processing of fruits, vegetables, and berries for local food producers.
In addition, I advise producers who encounter manufacturing challenges, such as microbial growth, undesirable texture, or defects in the appearance of finished products.
I hold an MSc in Food Science from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU, 2012), and my professional background encompasses a range of roles within the brewing industry.
