Vitae

Dr. Wolfgang Bergthaller studied food and fermentation technology at the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Science (Universität für Bodenkultur) in Vienna, Austria. After graduation in 1967 he joined the Federal Research Centre for Nutrition and Food, Location Detmold (formerly Federal Centre for Cereal, Potato and Lipid Research) and held a position as research group leader, first working with focus on starch chemistry. Beginning with the installation of the research section ‘potato processing’ in 1972 he worked on technology of dehydrated potato products until 1990. In 1980 he received a Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat. techn.) in food technology based on a thesis about effects of the nature of potato dumpling flours on textural properties of potato dumplings consisting of ground dehydrated potatoes and starch. In the years following 1990 he concentrated his research as Senior Researcher on techniques of starch isolation from various substrates and on application of starch as biodegradable material. Since 1991 he is reader in Starch Technology at the University of Applied Science (Fachhochschule) at Lippe and Hoexter and was appointed Honorary Professor in 2002.

Dr. Jürgen Hollmann studied chemistry at the Universities of Muenster and Paderborn in Germany. After graduation in chemistry he received a Ph.D. in biochemistry for his work on the interaction of ATP-analogs with the mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocator of rat liver mitochondria. After the Ph.D. he worked for several years on the isolation and structural characterization of sulfotransferases from arterial tissue at the University of Muenster. After graduating in Toxicology at the University of Leipzig, Germany, he joined in 1998 the Federal Research Centre for Nutrition and Food, Location Detmold, where he holds the position as a research group leader. His research is focused on the isolation and characterization of biopolymers from cereals and on the physiological effects of dietary fiber with respect to the mechanisms of colon cancer prevention. Dr. Hollmann is also Reader in Toxicology at the University of Paderborn.
