My educational background is Masters in Animal Science from University of Copenhagen with specialization in insect production. I did my Bachelor 's degree in Veterinary science and animal husbandry in which I was much focused on health of farm animals and that was my interest field since I was in high school.
My project covers the whole value chain process of producing insects by giving them biowastes and supplementing with probiotics. Secondly, I will use the insects which I produced to extract protein using suitable green technologies. After I extract protein, I will study the functional properties of the extracts to understand how we can utilize them as protein ingredients in making a food product. Since I am much focused in nutrient recycling and creating value added and nutritionally balanced food ingredients, it is in large extent addressing the UN sustainability gools and also in interest of DTU's sustainability goals.
