Presentation
Klara is a third year PhD at the Swedish University of Agricultural Science (SLU). Her project is about the side-stream products from faba bean protein isolation. Faba beans are already part of the Swedish protein shift and to further reduce their climatic impact, the utility of the whole bean is vital. The ultimate goal of the project is to use the side-stream fractions in the development of new (plant-based) food products. When Klara is not researching she is involved in education at the university as course leader in the course “Basic course Food Science” and also lectures in “Food Technology” .
