Project description
 

During processing of dairy products and their derivatives, the protein fractioni sprone to a range of chemical transformations, such as oxidation. This can have a major impact on the quality and safety of foodstuffs. The goal of this project is to gain fundamental insight into the course and the consequences of this reaction.
