1. Process development for platform chemical production from agricultural and forestry residues
Abstract : As part of a bio-based economy, biorefineries are envisaged to sustainably produce platform chemicals via biochemical conversion of agricultural and forestry residues. However, supply risks, the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass, and inhibitor formation during pretreatment impair the economic feasibility of such biorefineries. READ MORE

2. Greenhouse gas emissions from Swedish milk production : towards climate-smart milk production
Abstract : Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from food production represent 19-29% of global anthropogenic GHG and the dairy sector alone is estimated to contribute around 3%. This thesis assessed GHG estimates for milk production (i.e. milk carbon footprint (CF)) in a life cycle perspective. READ MORE

3. Quality of organically produced wheat from diverse origin
Abstract : The health benefits of organically grown whole grain wheat are derived from various nutritional compounds such as dietary fibre, minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals, while baking quality is influenced by the protein content and composition. Genetic improvement and production of wheat to increase the amounts of the nutritional compounds therefore enhance the health benefits. READ MORE

5. Governing grain protein concentration and composition in wheat and barley : use of genetic and environmental factors
Abstract : For commercial production of wheat and barley, grain yield (GY), grain protein concentration (GPC) and protein composition are considered important. Genetic (G) and environmental (E) factors are important constraints affecting GPC and protein composition in wheat and barley. READ MORE
