Birthe P Møller Jespersen

Birthe P Møller Jespersen is an Associate Professor and External Researcher in the Department of Food Science, specializing in Food Analytics and Biotechnology at the University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on applying advanced analytical techniques to food science problems, particularly in cereal analysis and functional foods.

Dr. Jespersen's research interests include:

• Food Analytics using hyperspectral imaging and near-infrared spectroscopy
• Barley and cereal analysis for food and brewing applications
• Functional foods development
• Application of machine learning and deep learning in food analysis
• Protein analysis in plant-based foods
• Food processing and quality assessment

Her recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating advanced computational methods with traditional food analysis techniques. She has been actively working on applying hyperspectral imaging combined with machine learning algorithms to analyze grain quality, protein content, and food processing parameters. Her research bridges the gap between traditional food science and modern data science approaches.

Dr. Jespersen has contributed to the scientific community through numerous publications and media appearances discussing food science topics. Her media contributions include discussions on converting animal feed to human food and the importance of grain fibers in healthy diets.

Her professional activities include:

• Research in food analytics and biotechnology
• Development of analytical methods for food quality assessment
• Application of advanced imaging and spectroscopy techniques
• Integration of machine learning with food analysis
