The primary research topic of SBE is the development and application of high-throughput quantitative spectroscopic methods (NIR, IR, Raman and NMR) for biological samples in quality control, food structure and process analytical technology (PAT). In particular SBE is interested in promoting the use of NIR spectroscopy in process analytical technology for optimizing sustainability of food production towards a future circular bioeconomy. SBE was further one of the pioneers in the development of the new research area named Foodomics which promotes advanced analysis of the composition of foods including the impact of food intake on human health and metabolism. A primary aim of this research line is to understand and develop new foods for the green food transition. A key technology in the research of SBE is the development of multivariate data analysis (machine learning/chemometrics) for exploring information from advanced analytical/spectroscopic platforms and for optimizing and digitalizing the food supply chain.
