Ixaskun Carton
 Visiting Scientist
Period of stay: March 2007- June 2007
I finished my master’s degree in Food Science and Technology at the University of the Basque Country, in Vitoria-Gasteiz in 2002. Currently, I am in my third year of my PhD studies working in the Food Science and Technology Department of the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Basque Country University, Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain). My research has focus on the effects of different salting and smoking processes on fish, especially on salmon studied by different techniques, such as Solid Phase Microextraction followed by Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectroscopy (SPME-GC-MS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and High Field Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).
At the moment, I am doing a short stay, from March to July, at MATFORSK under the supervision of Achim Kohler. I think it was a good opportunity to work in a foreign country and expand my knowledge. My major interest of coming here lies in the application of FT-IR microspectroscopy to investigate changes in the muscle protein of fish and in the usefulness of multivariate data analysis in this field.
