Project description: Interactions between plant-based proteins and dietary fibres; and their effect on fermentation.
My research focuses on the interactions between plant-based proteins and dietary fibres, and how these interactions affect fermentation. This project is part of the PAN Sweden consortium, which emphasizes plant-based proteins. The goal is to conduct a physicochemical characterization of these proteins and fibres to understand their interactions and subsequently investigate their impact on fermentation.

About Jakob
My name is Jakob, and I hold an MSc in Materials Chemistry and a BSc in Biotechnology from Chalmers University of Technology.
My passion for this PhD project stems from a desire to help people and contribute to a sustainable society. Being a PhD student allows me the freedom to deeply explore a specific subject, which has always fascinated me.
The most exciting aspect of my work is at the intersection of food science and materials chemistry, where I strive to connect these fields. This requires a broad knowledge base, pushing me to continuously learn new things, from analytical chemistry techniques to in vitro fermentation processes.
