The work presented was carried out under supervision of Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Engel,
Chair of General Food Technology at the Technische Universität München. I would
like to thank Prof. Engel for the opportunity to work on this exciting subject. Many
thanks to him for his scientific support, for many fruitful discussions and for his
guidance in completing this thesis.
I am indebted to all partners involved in the EU project NOFORISK, especially to Dr.
Ib Knudsen and Prof. Dr. Angharad Gatehouse for the fruitful and helpful discussions
and for sharing valuable scientific ideas.
Particular thank to Prof. Dr. Qing-Yao Shu and Dr. Xiao-Li Shu for the excellent
collaboration and for providing the valuable crop materials.
Thanks to Dr. Renate Habernegg from the Bavarian Authority for Health and Food
Safety for performing the mineral analysis for rice and soybean. Furthermore thanks
to Rene Schneider from the Institute of Brewing Technology I at Technische
Universität München for providing barley material and for performing the micromalting
experiments.
I am greatful to have been able to work at the Chair of General Food Technology with
my collegues Andreas Barnsteiner, Hedwig Strohalm, Iulia Poplacean, Dr. Ron
Baudler, Martina Denk, Oxana Fastovskaya, Dr. Marta Dregus, Dr. Ludwig Ziegler
and Dr. Bernhard Meier. Special thanks to Dr. Andreas Miller and Richard Röhlig for
many extended and fruitful discussions.
Thanks to my sadly deceased friend and colleague Bertrand Seumo Meuleye for the
good teamwork and the fruitful discussions. I will never forget his enthusiasm in
scientific research.
Finally, I would like to thank my family, in particular my parents, my brother and my
grandmother, my parents-in-law and my brother-in-law for their amazing support
during the last years. Special thanks to my lovely wife Sylvia for her continuous
believe in me. I will always be there for you.
