Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

Food science, Chromatography, Bran, Polysaccharide and Starch are his primary areas of study. Per Åman has researched Food science in several fields, including Arabinoxylan and Biochemistry. His studies in Chromatography integrate themes in fields like Hydrolysis, Amylopectin and Xylose.

His Bran course of study focuses on Avena and Pasteurization, Blood lipids, Bile acid and Sterol. His Polysaccharide research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glycosyl and Glucan. His Starch research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Dry matter, Agronomy and Lignin.

His most cited work include:

  • The influence of amylose and amylopectin characteristics on gelatinization and retrogradation properties of different starches (491 citations)
  • Total dietary fiber determined as neutral sugar residues, uronic acid residues, and Klason lignin (the Uppsala method): collaborative study. (355 citations)
  • Alkylresorcinols in cereals and cereal products. (248 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Per Åman mainly focuses on Food science, Starch, Polysaccharide, Chromatography and Botany. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dry matter, Arabinoxylan, Chemical composition, Bran and Glucan. His research in Starch tackles topics such as Endosperm which are related to areas like Broiler.

His work carried out in the field of Polysaccharide brings together such families of science as Sugar, Beta-glucan, Lignin and Xylose. His Chromatography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Size-exclusion chromatography and Hydrolysis. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Fructose and Sucrose.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Food science (55.74%)
  • Starch (25.57%)
  • Polysaccharide (22.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2021)?

  • Food science (55.74%)
  • Whole grains (9.51%)
  • Alkylresorcinol (9.84%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Per Åman mostly deals with Food science, Whole grains, Alkylresorcinol, Bran and Internal medicine. His biological study focuses on Dietary fiber. His research integrates issues of Biochemistry and Cohort in his study of Whole grains.

He interconnects Incidence, Metabolite, Urine, Chromatography and Biomarker in the investigation of issues within Alkylresorcinol. In his study, Caryopsis is inextricably linked to Endosperm, which falls within the broad field of Bran. His Internal medicine research includes themes of Endocrinology and Oncology.

Between 2007 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The HEALTHGRAIN Cereal Diversity Screen: concept, results, and prospects. (178 citations)
  • Alkylresorcinols as biomarkers of whole-grain wheat and rye intake: plasma concentration and intake estimated from dietary records (137 citations)
  • Localization of alkylresorcinols in wheat, rye and barley kernels (120 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Food science, Bran, Arabinoxylan, Alkylresorcinol and Whole grains. His work on Dietary fibre as part of general Food science research is frequently linked to Crossover study, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Bran intersects with topics in Endosperm, Endocrinology, Prostate cancer and Internal medicine.

His Arabinoxylan research is within the category of Polysaccharide. His Alkylresorcinol research incorporates themes from Biomarker, Chromatography, Animal science and Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cellulose, Lignin and Starch.
