  2. 1. On yeasts from traditional fermented foods - Characterization, phytate degradation, strain improvement and applications

    Author : Linnea Qvirist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phytase; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Phytate; Pichia kudriavzevii; Phenotypic Characterization; Goat Milk; Food Fermentation; Kluyveromyces marxianus; Yaghnob Valley;

    Abstract : Plant materials naturally contain minerals of iron, zinc and calcium. However, plants also contain a compound called phytic acid, which can chelate the minerals and form insoluble complexes. Minerals from plant foods are unavailable for intestinal uptake when they are bound in phytate complexes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pure white gold : Subclinical mastitis in dairy camels in Kenya with a special focus on Streptococcus agalactiae

    Author : Dinah Seligsohn; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In the drylands of the Horn of Africa, camels are fundamental for food and nutritional security due to their ability to produce milk despite limited access to feed and water. Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is common in the region and has a negative impact on food security and household income. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microbiological food safety of cheese produced in Swedish small-scale dairies : characteristics, growth and enterotoxin production of Staphylococcus aureus

    Author : Åsa Rosengren; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The number of small-scale dairies in Sweden has increased during the past decade. Current agricultural policy encourages such small-scale production and various ways to help producers have been proposed. Combining traditional cheese making and good product safety is a challenge, since several human pathogens pose a hazard in the products. READ MORE

  6. 4. Apoptosis induced by a human milk protein complex. Cellular and structural studies in tumour cells and bacteria

    Author : Anders Håkansson; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; serology; Immunology; nuclear uptake; caspases; mitochondria; S. pneumoniae; alpha-lactalbumin; milk; breast-feeding; Apoptosis; tumour cells; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

    Abstract : Human milk contains a vast array of bioactive molecules, with nutritional and protective functions. This thesis describes the effects of a human milk protein complex, MAL, on tumour cells and bacteria. During our studies on the anti-adhesive properties of human milk we observed that a milk fraction killed tumour cells. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nuclear mechanisms in cell death induced by HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumour cells)

    Author : Caroline Düringer; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mikrobiologi; virology; mykologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mycology; bacteriology; Microbiology; chromatin; histones; apoptosis; alpha-lactalbumin; programmed cell death;

    Abstract : HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumour cells), a protein-lipid complex originally isolated from human milk, induces programmed cell death selectively in tumour cells. It consists of partially unfolded alpha-lactalbumin in complex with oleic acid. READ MORE
