Each division sponsors a Student Poster Competition held at the Annual Meeting. This month’s division spotlight focuses on the EAT student winners for 2024. the Winners of This Year’s Student Poster Competition FIRST PLACE AWARD “Screening of emulsifying peptides derived from brewers’ spent grain” Rasmus Mikkelson, PhD Student, National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark Rasmus’ poster presented results from experiments on screening peptides derived from brewers’ spent grain (BSG). The poster demon strated the potential that BSG protein and peptides have as a new emulsifying ingredient. His team used a previously devel oped open-source bioinformatics model that can predict emul sifying peptides embedded in proteins. He wanted to show Edible Applications Technology Division Features
