Ditte B. Hermund is a food scientist and employed as assistant professor at the National Food Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. She did her PhD on extraction and characterization of antioxidant substances from brown algae Fucus vesiculosus. She also studied the potential of natural algae based antioxidants for hindering quality deterioation in omega-3 enriched food products. Her current research focusses on extracting bioactive compounds from brown algae and determining their chemical composition and functional properties, such as antioxidant and UV absorbing. Moreover, she studies how algae based ingredients can be used in cosmetic applications. Ditte is a dedicated scientist and an expert on phlorotannins (the major polyphenolic group in brown alga), the structural characterization of these and how they behave in highly complex food systems and cosmetics.
