OAT LIPIDS – CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Webinar August 26th 13.00 -15.30

Oat lipids – a promising compound for the food industry but also a challenge for them, due to rancidity. Welcome to learn more about oat lipids at ScanOats Industrial Research Centres seminar on Thursday 26 of August, 13.00 – 15.30.

Sign-up at inger.ahlden@agrofood.ideon.se and you will receive a zoom link in time for the seminar.

Guest speakers

Bo Ekstrand

Bo Ekstrand...

has a long-standing experience in food science, from Uppsala

University, SLU, SIK (now RISE) in Gothenburg, and Århus University, and is now connected to Chalmers in Gothenburg. Bo Ekstrand has for many years been involved in the study of oat lipid composition and stability, and lipid hydrolysis and oxidation in general. In a recently published review the importance of the diet for brain performance and health is high-lighted, ia the role of lipids. How to take care of the valuable lipid components in plants and present them to the consumer in a stable and accessible form is a challenging task for food producers.

Frederic Carriere

Frédéric Carrière...

has a PhD, is Research Director at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique CNRS, Marseille, France. Over the last 30 years, his main research activities have been dealing with the biochemistry of lipids and lipolytic enzymes, He investigated lipid digestion both in vitro and in vivo in the course of clinical studies. His studies have paid the way to the development of in vitro digestion methods, of lipase inhibitors for obesity treatment and of lipases for enzyme replacement therapy in patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
