Profile
I have a pronounced research background in enzymatic modifications of milk proteins. In particular, caseins were cross-linked by microbial transglutaminase and characterised with regard to molecular modifications and changes in acid-induced gelation properties (see below for more information).
Currently, I am working on the concentration of milk proteins by membrane techniques and its impact on casein micelles structure and serum composition.
Education
2007 – 2013: Dipl.-Ing. in Process Engineering with Specialisation in Food Technology, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany
2014 – 2019: Dr.-Ing. in Food Technology, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany
Research Background
Title of the doctoral thesis: Cross-linking with microbial transglutaminase: Drivers of structure-function-interrelations in acid caseinate gels (Link to the thesis)
Aims:
- Creation of well-defined protein nanoparticles by enzymatic cross-linking of associated casein molecules
- Characterisation of the protein nanoparticles with regard to conformation, cross-linking extent and rheological properties
- Identification of interrelations between the molecular properties of the nanoparticles and their functionality in acid-induced gels
Present Research Interests
Structure-function-interrelations of casein micelles as affected by concentration processes and/or enzymatic cross-linking
Skills and Expertise
Dairy proteins, Protein gels, Enzymatic cross-linking, Rheology, Protein analysis
