Talk Title: Cereal bran stabilises vitamin A during storage: the role of bran antioxidants, lipids and endogenous lipase activity

Eline Van Wayenbergh is a PhD candidate at the Laboratory of Food Chemistry and Biochemistry (KU Leuven, Belgium). She obtained a Master’s degree in Bioscience Engineering at KU Leuven with a focus on Food Science and Nutrition.

Her research involves studying the stabilisation of vitamin A by cereal bran during food processing and storage. She highly values putting research into practice and recently performed a research stay in Ghana focusing on the fortification of a local food product with vitamin A. In the near future, she aims to broaden her research interests by investigating wheat starch properties and its techno-functionality as a postdoctoral researcher.
