from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reinhard Matissek (* 1952 in Bassum ) is a German food chemist and food technologist who has been a professor at the Institute for Food Technology and Food Chemistry at the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) since 1990. From 1989 to 2019 he was head of the Food Chemistry Institute (LCI) of the Federal Association of the German Confectionery Industry in Cologne.

Life

He began his training as a chemical laboratory assistant in Bremen with Werner Hofmann, then studied food technology at the Technical University of Berlin and food chemistry at the Technical University of Berlin. Matissek received his doctorate in 1978 from the Technical University of Berlin in cooperation with the then Federal Health Office (BGA). He completed his habilitation in 1986 in the field of food chemistry. In 1989 he took over the management of the Food Chemistry Institute (LCI) of the Federal Association of the German Confectionery Industry in Cologne and in 1990 became an adjunct professor at the Institute for Food Technology and Food Chemistry at the TU Berlin.

Matissek researches primarily in the areas of food safety (contaminants and process contaminants, minimizing or avoiding MOSH / MOAH entry in food, minimizing acrylamide as well as MCPD and glycidyl esters, mycotoxins in food), food quality (cocoa butter purity, cocoa components, marzipan purity, liquorice / Liquorice) and food analysis mainly in the areas of cocoa, confectionery and snacks.

Reinhard Matissek is the recipient of the Hans F. Dresel Memorial Award from the PMCA (International Association of Confectioners) and the Fincke Prize for Science and Technology from the Federal Association of the German Confectionery Industry.
