Facts about Hanne Larsen

I have a M.Sc. degree in Food Science (The Norwegian University of Life Sciences, 1985) and a PhD degree in food packaging (The Norwegian University of Life Sciences, 2002). I have since 1988 been working with different aspects of food packaging at Nofima Mat. The focus point in my research is the effects of light and gas barrier properties of the packaging materials on the quality and shelf life of different foods – especially methods for measuring oxygen transmission rate in packages and the effect of different oxygen barrier properties on the shelf life. Another field of interest is effect of various packaging methods on food quality and shelf life, with emphasis on modified atmosphere packaging.
