Biography
Isabelle Silvis started her PhD in 2013 RIKILT in the authenticity group of Saskia van Ruth, in which she is conducting research on food fraud of herbs and spices. The focus is on the development of analytical methods for the detection of economically motivated adulterations. In 2013 she obtained her European Master’s degree in Food Technology, from Wageningen University. Her international background is quite useful in her current activities as her project is part of SPICED, in which European partners from different universities, institutes and industry build on a strong consortium, to secure the spice and herb chain from primary production to consumer-ready food against major deliberate, accidental or natural CBRN contamination.
