  2. 1. Exploring the functionality of coconut proteins

    Author : Borges Chambale; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Coconut; coconut milk; extraction; proteins; emulsions; functional properties; denaturation; gels; yield stress; glass structure;

    Abstract : At present, coconut proteins are discarded as a waste product by the coconut oil industry. If the range of applications of coconut proteins is to be expanded, their potential functionalities should be investigated. Emulsions and gels are of the greatest interest in food industry.

  4. 2. Fundamental Study of two Selected Tropical Biomasses for Energy : coconut and cashew nut shells

    Author : Alberto Júlio Tsamba; Wlodzimierz Blasiak; A. K. Gupta; KTH; []
    Keywords : Cashew nut shells; coconut shells; biomass; thermogravimetry; pyrolysis; kinetics; combustion; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract :  Cashew nut and coconut shells are two potential renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources that are commonly found as agro-industrial wastes in tropical countries. Despite this fact, they are not yet widely studied as such. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pyrolysis profiles and global kinetics of tropical biomass : coconut and cashew nut shells

    Author : Alberto Júlio Tsamba; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermogravimetry; cashew nut cocnut shells; pyrolysis; kinetics; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Biomass has been recognised as renewable and environmentally friendly source of energy since decades. Tropical biomasses which are available in large quantities as residues in Latin America, Africa and Asia, have high energy potential for exploitation through thermochemical conversion process, as pyrolysis, gasification or combustion.

  6. 4. Coconut lethal yellowing phytoplasma disease in Mozambique : diversity, host range, and the impact of farming practices on disease incidence

    Author : Joao Bila; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) is a major cash crop that is widely grown in coastal tropical regions of the world, including Mozambique. Outbreaks of coconut lethal yellowing disease (CLYD) are threatening the industry and the livelihood of a large part of the Mozambican population. READ MORE

  7. 5. Migration from plastic food packaging during microwave heating

    Author : Jonas Alin; Minna Hakkarainen; Sahar Al-Malaika; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; migration; food packaging; microwave; degradation; food simulant; antioxidant;

    Abstract : Microwave heating of food has increased rapidly as a food processing technique. This increases the concern that chemicals could migrate from food packaging to food. The specific effect of microwave heating in contrast to conventional heating on overall and specific migration from common plastic food storage boxes was studied in this work. READ MORE
