Food Microbiology and Biotechnology

Welcome,

to the homepage of the working group food microbiology and biotechnology. We are a good example of close cooperation within the MIN Faculty, as we are part of the Institute of Food Chemistry of the Department of Chemistry, but in the field of microbiology and biotechnology we are located in the Institute of Plant Sciences and Microbiology of the Department of Biology in Klein Flottbek.

Our main focus in research is:

• Submerged fermentations
• Solid substrate fermentations
• Fermentations for the production and nutritional improvement of food
• Fermentations for the processing of food waste

We are involved in teaching in four study programmes:

Food Chemistry

• Teaching in basics of microbiology
• Food microbiology and biotechnology
• Hygiene

Biology, Master Biology

• Food biotechnology with focus on fermentation technology

Teaching profession Bachelor and Master's degree in nutrition and home economics

• Basics of microbiology
• Technical food microbiology and hygiene

Teaching profession Bachelor and Master's degree in health sciences

• Medical microbiology and hygiene
