For all this time food has been a central theme, however we know very little of what food means in this context. READ MORE

  4. 2. Antioxidants in Andean food and meals

    Author : Leslie Tejeda; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Antioxidant capacity; polyphenolic compounds; anthocyanidins; individual food; meals; ans and stan genes;

    Abstract : Abstract The constant need to improve health and to prevent disease in Bolivia, especially in the Andean region with its extreme environmental conditions (high altitude and lower temperatures), motivated us to extend studies of antioxidant sources in foods and plants, since antioxidants are believed to have major health benefits. Spectrophotometric methods, such as ABTS (2, 2’- azinobis-3-ethylbenzotiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and FRAP (ferric reduction antioxidant power), were used to evaluate antioxidant activity. READ MORE

  5. 3. Food traceability in regulated fresh food supply chains with an emphasis on the Swedish fishing industry

    Author : Henrik Ringsberg; Förpackningslogistik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food traceability; fresh food supply chains; ICT; conceptual modelling; governmental authorities; food supply chain transparency; food traceability requirements;

    Abstract : Food traceability is gaining increased attention in food companies and governmental authorities.

    Author : Techane Bosona; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The demand for locally produced food is increasing as global food supply system has considerably affected the confidence of consumers by increasing tonne-kilometres, food safety risk, environmental impact, and disconnecting local food producers and consumers. However, local food suppliers are not in the position to compete with large scale food supply systems due to high logistics costs. READ MORE

  7. 5. Oxygen-reducing enzymes in coatings and films for active packaging

    Author : Kristin Johansson; Lars Järnström; Caisa Johansson; Leif J. Jönsson; Jose M. Lagaron; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Active packaging; food packaging; oxygen scavengers; oxygen-reducing enzymes; dispersion coating; biopolymers; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Oxygen scavengers are used in active packages to protect the food against deteriorative oxidation processes. The aim of this work was to investigate the possibilities to produce oxygen-scavenging packaging materials based on oxygen-reducing enzymes. READ MORE
