Pavao Mildner | Editor-in-Chief 1983-2009


Pavao Mildner received his Ph.D. in 1956 at the University of Zagreb in Natural Sciences with a Thesis in organic chemistry. In 1957 he was elected assisstant professor of biochemistry at the Food Technology Department of the Techological Faculty, the University of Zagreb. He conducted research on the synthesis of new organic compounds and their inhibitory action in enzymes (catalase, lactoperoxidase). The main subject of his research was investigating the relations of structure and action of enzymes. Majority of his published papers contains methods of purification and physicochemical characteritzation of the enzyme yeast acid phosphatase, its glycosylation and factors influencing secretion of yeast extracellular glycoenzymes. From 1964 he was full professor of biocheistry at the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, the University of Zagreb, and he retired in 1988. Prof. Mildner published 78 scientific papers and 5 patents.
From 1963 to 1982 he acted as the head of the Editorial Board, to become Editor-in-Chief in 1983, of the Food Technology and Biotechnology journal, formerly Prehrambeno-tehnološka i biotehnološka revija.
