Acknowledgements

This work was carried out between 2002 and 2007 at the Chair for Food Process Engineering
and Dairy Technology of Technische Universität München.
I am grateful to my supervisor Professor Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Kulozik for providing excellent
research facilities and for his professional expertise and guidance during course of this work.
I am very thankful to Prof. Dr. med. Dr.-Ing. Erich Wintermantel, the second reviewer of this
thesis and to Professor Dr. rer. nat. Thomas Hofmann for taking over the Chair of the
examination board.
Furthermore, I would like to thank Brigitte Härter and Anne Keller for their help with HPLC
analysis and thank Karin Zielonka for her help with total protein content determination. I
would also like to thank Christian Ederer, Franz Fraunhofer and Erich Schneider for the
technical support. Many thanks are going to Sabine Becker, Friederike Schöpflin, Birgit
Weber and Marianne Hager for their help with administrative issues. I also would like to
thank all other colleagues and the personnel of the chair for their support and contribution to
the friendly atmosphere during the progress of this work.
I would like to thank my whole family in China for their spiritual support. Especially I would
like to thank my uncle William Li, who encouraged me to come to study in Germany and
financially supported me in the first year of my study.
