2. 1. Methods to study the relationship between forage composition and silage fermentation and aerobic stability

   Author : Kamyar Mogodiniyai Kasmaei; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on the following hypotheses: (I) under controlled ensiling conditions, forage chemical and microbial composition explain variation in silage end-product concentrations (II) sterilized forage inoculated with parent microflora gives similar fermentation result as untreated control forage and (III) this methodology enables studying interactions between forage source and field flora on silage fermentation and aerobic stability. Hypothesis (I) was evaluated by constructing regression models of end-products on common forage chemical variables (e. READ MORE

4. 2. Life Cycle Assessment of Novel Biomethane Systems : energy performance and climate impact

   Author : Elham Ahmadi Moghaddam; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Climate mitigation and supply of renewable energy are global challenges. The main cause of climate change is anthropogenic activities, including consumption of fossil energy sources and land use change. Biomethane, a biomass-derived renewable energy carrier, is interchangeable with fossil-based natural gas and can provide energy services (e.g. READ MORE

5. 3. Cassava Processing: Safety and Protein Fortification

   Author : Lucas Tivana; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cassava; Cyanogenic glycosides; aquacyano-cobyrinic acid; processing; amylose; amylopectin; protein; texture;

   Abstract : Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important and cheap source of carbohydrate in tropical regions, particularly in Sub-Sahara Africa. Cassava as a human food is a good source of energy as it has a comparable high energy density of about 610 kJ/100 g fresh root. READ MORE

6. 4. Tailoring the course of postprandial glycaemia to bread : On the importance of viscous dietary fibre for acute and semi-acute glucose tolerance and appetite

   Author : Linda Ekström; Kemicentrum Centrum för preventiv livsmedelsforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Postprandial glycaemia; appetite; prevention; antidiabetic food; inflammation; GI; glycaemic profile;

   Abstract : The prevalence of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing all over the world. Frequent episodes of elevated postprandial blood glucose have been associated with oxidative stress and subclinical inflammation, and the importance of a tight glycaemic control has been identified as an important factor to maintain health and prevent T2DM, obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

7. 5. Fruit tree-based agroforestry on sloping uplands in northwest Vietnam: Effects on soil conservation, tree-crop performance and weed management

   Author : Hung Do Van; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : On sloping land, agroforestry can be a more sustainable way to produce food andother products and services than sole-crop cultivation of crops. This thesis examinedwhether fruit tree-based agroforestry on smallholder farms on sloping uplands canhave a positive impact on sustainability. READ MORE
