Kjersti Aaby
PhD
Senior Scientist
I am a researcher in the Food and Health department. Our aim is to help food producers develop nutritious, tasty food through optimal processing and storage of raw materials and products. My research focuses on the quality and bioactive compounds in fruits and berries, and what influences these in the raw materials, but especially what happens during processing and storage. The goal is to determine how the raw material should be processed to achieve the desired product quality. Processing techniques include heat treatment, juicing, drying, high-pressure homogenization, and PEF. Quality aspects such as color and texture are measured instrumentally, but it is important that these align with the sensory experience as assessed by humans. Chemical compounds are analyzed using various chromatographic methods (HPLC, GC) with different detectors (MS, UV, RI). I am also interested in what happens to these compounds in the body, and their bioactivity and potential health effects.
