Overview

Poul Erik Jensen is affiliated with the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Their research spans several fields within biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a significant focus on agricultural and biological sciences. Their work is further specialized in subfields such as molecular biology, food science, renewable energy, sustainability and the environment, plant science, and nutrition and dietetics.

Themes central to their research include photosynthetic processes and mechanisms, algal biology and biofuel production, proteins in food systems, food composition and properties, probiotics and fermented foods, protein hydrolysis and bioactive peptides, and microbial metabolic engineering and bioproduction.

Recent publications authored or coauthored by Poul Erik Jensen include:

  • Improving crop yield potential: Underlying biological processes and future prospects (2022, Food and Energy Security)
  • Effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus on Physicochemical Properties of Fermented Plant-Based Raw Materials (2021, Foods)
  • Design of a Functional Pea Protein Matrix for Fermented Plant-Based Cheese (2022, Foods)
  • Scission of Glucosidic Bonds by a Lentinus similis Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases Is Strictly Dependent on H2O2 while the Oxidation of Saccharide Products Depends on O2 (2021, ACS Catalysis)
  • Applications of Enzyme Technology to Enhance Transition to Plant Proteins: A Review (2023, Foods)

Jensen frequently collaborates with fellow researchers, among whom David A. Russo, Carmen Masiá, Julie A. Z. Zedler, Lars B. Scharff, and Ourania Gouseti are notable. Collaborations with these coauthors range from six to ten joint publications.

Publications by Jensen are often found in venues such as Foods, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Physiologia Plantarum, SSRN Electronic Journal, and Food and Energy Security.
