Biomarkers
I do research and scientific based advising in topics within fats
and carbohydrates in foods with main focus on fatty
acids.
I develop, validate (according to ISO 17025), and implement
analytical methods for analysis of nutrients, additives, and
allergens in foods, as well as nutrients in biological
samples.
Furthermore, I design and perform projects to create new data for
the Danish Food Composition Database and for calculation of
intake among Danes to be applied in investigations of the
relation between intake and development of different diseases in
both animal and human studies. Establishment of a database with
the content of trans
fatty acids in foods on the Danish market during the last 15
years is used in human studies in DanORC (Danish Obesity Research
Centre).
A novel interest is to develop methods for determination of the
composition of lipid classes e.g. triacylglycerols and
phospholipids, and thereby contribute to the understanding of the
influence of lipids on the biological systems in animal and
humans (lipidomics).
Besides, I examine carotenoids as a possible biomarker for intake
of fruit and vegetables.
