Lipid research

We are very interested in elucidating the structure and dynamics of triglyceride lipids as well as degradation products hereof. We are using a variety of biophysical methods in order to achieve this, including attenuated total reflection FT-IR, quartz crystal microbalance as well as Atomic Force Microscopy in collaboration with the Department of Physics at AAU. We have found evidence for microcrystalinity in the solid triglyceride structure. (Peter Fojan, Torben Snabe, Steffen B. Petersen; Sergey Bozhevolnyi, Department of Physics, AAU)
