Kristine Mjølnerød
Scientist
I work as a scientist at Nofima, within the department of Nutrition and Feed Technology. My daily work consists of research and innovation aimed at contributing to a more sustainable feed industry. I work with upcycling of various by-products and utilization of new, alternative resources with the intention of developing new sustainable feed ingredients. My focus is directed towards development of the process technology. In current projects, I work with raw materials such as insect larvae, mussels, vegetable and fruit residues, in addition to by-products from fish.
I hold a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology from NTNU in Trondheim – a program that has provided me with a broad background within process engineering, chemistry, and biotechnology. My master’s thesis dealt with the production of single-cell protein based on by-products from the salmon and dairy industries.
