PhD project: Mem-Fast - Membranes as Enablers for Future Biorefineries: from Fabrication to Advanced Separation Technologies

Supervisor: Karolina Östbring

Dissertation planned to: 2024-11-18

Research area:

My research focuses on the removal and recovery of phytic acid and proteins from by-product streams of crop press cakes, such as rapeseed, hemp, and oat fiber residues. Phytic acid, an anti-nutrient known for chelating essential minerals, is present in high amounts in these by-products, limiting their broader applications. My goal is to reduce phytic acid content while recovering valuable proteins using a combination of membrane processes (ultrafiltration, diafiltration, reverse osmosis, forward osmosis, electrodialysis) and gentle protein extraction techniques.

Research theme: 2-biorefinery
