Meet the Instructor:
Charlotte M. Jacobsen is a professor in the National Food Institute at the Technical University of Denmark, where she leads the bioactives analysis and applications group. Her research is focused on lipid oxidation and non-enzymatic browning reactions in marine phospholipids, and the oxidative stability of foods enriched with functional lipids, including omega-3 enriched foods. Her group is also exploring the potential for micro- and macroalgae in the production of omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, pigments, and antioxidants. She has published in more than 225 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters.
Her work has been recognized by awards including the Danish Danisco prize in 2003, the French La Médaille Chevreul in 2010, and the German DGF Normann Medaille in 2020. Dr. Jacobsen has been active in the lipid community for many years. With AOCS, she has held leadership roles in the European Section and the Lipid Oxidation and Quality Division. She has also served as associate editor for the JAOCS journal.

Enhancing oxidative stability and shelf life of frying oils with antioxidants
By Namal Senanayake September 2018 Conquering stability and shelf-life issues of frying oils can be challenging. During deep-fat frying, several physical and chemical changes—mostly oxidation, polymerization, and hydrolysis—occur simultaneously, altering the chemical composition of edible oils during frying. Both synthetic and natural antioxidants are suitable for stabilizing frying oils against thermal lipid oxidation; however, in…

The other vitamin E
By Laura Cassiday July 2013 The antioxidant properties, prevalence, and bioavailability of alpha-tocopherol have made this form of vitamin E a popular ingredient in nutraceuticals and personal care products. Recent research suggests that another class of vitamin E known as the tocotrienols may be better antioxidants and confer greater health benefits, but they are poorly…
