Roland Mumm

Roland Mumm is a Researcher at Wageningen University & Research, affiliated with the BIOS Applied Metabolic Systems department. His work focuses on metabolomics and its applications in agriculture, food science, and plant biology. He employs advanced analytical techniques such as GC-MS and LC-MS to study metabolic profiles in plants and food products, with a particular emphasis on flavor, stress responses, and crop quality.

Dr. Mumm leads projects like 'Anders meten van geur 2' and 'WASTE2TASTE,' aiming to improve odor measurement in livestock systems and unravel asparagus flavor using metabolomics. He has contributed to datasets on plant defense mechanisms and organellar genome effects. His research spans crop improvement, pest resistance, and food processing optimization, with over 97 publications and 5 active projects.

Key research interests include volatile compound analysis, plant-environment interactions, and metabolic pathways influencing agricultural and food quality traits. His advising role includes co-promoting PhD candidates in metabolomics-driven food and plant science studies.

Grants and collaborations include LVVN-funded projects on odor measurement technology and flavor analysis. His work bridges fundamental research with applied solutions, enhancing sustainability in agriculture and food systems.
