Hans-Dieter-Belitz-Institute for Cereal Grain Research

Prof. Dr. Peter Schieberle

Director of the Hans-Dieter-Belitz-Institute for Cereal Research, chair of food chemistry at the Technical University of Munich, director of the German Research Centre for Food Chemistry, head of the working group "Molecular Sensory Analysis" at the German Research Centre for Food Chemistry.

Research: The scientific work of Prof. Schieberle is focused on structure-action relationships of endogeneous aroma compounds of foods. He has developed methods that make it possible to determine the contribution of individual odorants to the flavour of food. These methods are being used for the investigation of the flavour of wheat and rye bread as well as for studies about the influence of technological processes on the flavour of baked goods.

Prof. Dr. Peter Köhler

Vice director of the Hans-Dieter-Belitz-Institute for Cereal Research, vice director of the German Research Centre for Food Chemistry, head of the working group "Structure-Function Relationships of Biopolymers" at the German Research Centre for Food Chemistry.

Research: One field of work of Peter Köhler are investigations about posttranslational reactions of cereal proteins. He carried out basic work on the disulphide structure of wheat gluten. A second topic is the investigation of the effect of additives, especially emulsifiers, in the production of bread. This interdisciplinary research joins chemistry and technology by studying the effect of isolated fractions or synthetic compounds by means of micro-scale methods (baking tests, rheological measurements).
