2. 1. Transglycosylation catalyzed by β-mannanases : Molecular aspects relevant for enzymatic synthesis

   Author : Johan Morrill; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; β-mannanase; glycoside hydrolase; enzymology; kinetics; MALDI-TOF MS; HPLC; transglycosylation; alcoholysis; enzyme engineering; protein structure; enzymatic synthesis;

   Abstract : β-Mannanases are a major type of enzyme involved in the hydrolysis and modification of β-mannans, a hemicellulose present in high amounts in e.g. softwoods such as spruce. The β-mannanases studied in this thesis belong to glycoside hydrolase (GH) families GH5 and GH26. READ MORE

4. 2. Determination of Fat-Soluble Vitamins in Foods Based on Supercritical Fluid Extraction

   Author : Charlotta Turner; Kemiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Supercritical fluid extraction; Solvent collection; Solid phase trapping; SFE; Selectivity; Retinol; Milk powder; Lipase; Food; Enzymatic hydrolysis; Alcoholysis; Candida antarctica; Tocopherol; Vitamins; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : Sample clean-up methodologies based on supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) have been developed for determination of fat-soluble vitamins in foods. This thesis focuses on method development, stressing important issues concerning sample pre-treatment, extraction conditions and collection parameters. READ MORE

5. 3. Enzymatic Synthesis of Alkyl Glycosides. New Applications for Glycoside Hydrolases

   Author : David Svensson; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CGTase; cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase; alkyl glycoside; enzyme stabliity; enzymatic synthesis; enzyme immobilisation; surfactant; glycosylation;

   Abstract : The environmental problems caused by human interventions, such as the consumption of non-renewable resources and the emission of greenhouse gases are well-recognised. Calls have been made for immediate measures to develop more sustainable society worldwide. READ MORE

6. 4. Lipase-Catalysed Lipid Modifications in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

   Author : Helga Gunnlaugsdottir; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; immobilisation support; enzymes; pressure; phase behaviour; flow rate; process parameters; supercritical carbon dioxide; Lipase; lipids; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik;

   Abstract : The production of ethyl esters (EE) from ethanol and cod-liver oil by an immobilised lipase in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) is described. This reaction results in a complex mixture of lipid components consisting of triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides and ethyl esters. READ MORE

7. 5. Exploring beta-mannan acting glycosidase families in hydrolysis and mannosyl transfer

   Author : Simon Birgersson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; glycoside hydrolases; beta-mannanase; Transglycosylation; enzymatic synthesis; Enzyme synergy; enzyme engineering; MALDI-TOF; HPLC; NMR;

   Abstract : The thesis revolves around the study of glycoside hydrolases (GH), specifically GH5 β-mannanases and GH36 α-galactosidase (I-III), as well as a GH130 mannoside phosphorylase (I, IV). These enzymes are investigated for their actions on and conversion of hemicellulosic β-mannan, including food-grade galactomannan and softwood galactoglucomannan, along with manno-oligosaccharides (MOS) derived from such polymers.
