I am employed as a senior scientist in Nofima Ingrediens. My main interests are in lipid and protein technology, feed technology and process development. Present research activities include development and optimization of processes for reduction of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in fishmeal and fish oil (DECONTAM) and physicochemical characterization of protein ingredients related to extruded fish feed production. I am a civil engineer (M.Sc.) in chemistry, process and chemical engineering and biotechnology. Former research activity include several industry and process related projects within raw material quality, separation and dewatering technology, feed technology, fermentation technology and fish oil refining and food applications. I have former industrial experience in development and formulation of specialty diets, food supplements, functional foods, feed ingredients and feeds.
