  2. 1. Cross-Processing Fish Co-Products with Plant Food Side Streams or Seaweeds Using the pH-Shift Method - a new sustainable route to functional food protein ingredients stable towards lipid oxidation

    Author : Jingnan Zhang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; valorization; pomaces; protein techno-functionality; press cakes; by-products; fish protein; fruit; natural antioxidants; lipid oxidation; berry; protein gels;

    Abstract : The seafood value chain is highly inefficient as 50-60% of the fish weight end up as co-products in the filleting operation. Despite their abundance in high-quality proteins, fish co-products mainly go to low value products such as fodder. The pH-shift process, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fermented probiotic beverage based on quinoa : Functionality, hygiene, and health effects

    Author : Pamela Rosario Canaviri Paz; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Quinoa grains; Fermentation; Lactic acid bacteria; Probiotics; Food safety; Starter culture; Polyphenol compounds; Microbiota composition; Functional food; Gut microbiota;

    Abstract : White quinoa grains were used as a source of novel beneficial microorganisms and as a matrix for development of a fermented plant-based drink. Studies on the quinoa grain microbiota were performed by applying spontaneous fermentation to allow isolation of autochthonous Lactiplantibacillus strains with potential to be used as starter cultures.

  5. 3. Barley malt products for improved intestinal health

    Author : Cristina Teixeira; Kemicentrum Centrum för preventiv livsmedelsforskning; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; short-chain fatty acids; β-glucan; arabinoxylan; steeping; β-glucan molecular weight; Barley; microbiota; malt; Barley; malt; steeping; Beta-glucan; beta-glucan molecular weight; Arabinoxylan; short-chain fatty acids; Microbiota;

    Abstract : Barley is a good source of dietary fibre, particularly β-glucan and arabinoxylan, to increase formation of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Butyric and propionic acid are involved in the preservation of colonic barrier function, thus decreasing the risk of inflammation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fish for Food and Ecosystem Function : Fisheries, Trade and Key Ecosystem Processes in Coral Reefs

    Author : Matilda Thyresson; Magnus Nyström; Edward H. Allison; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fish; food; key ecosystem processes; functional groups; coral reefs; trade; gear; small-scale fisheries; social-ecological systems; Zanzibar; Tanzania; Western Indian Ocean; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

    Abstract : Fish is a key source of food and income to millions of people living along tropical coastlines. They also play essential roles underpinning key ecosystem processes in coral reefs. For example, herbivorous fish keep algae in check that otherwise may outcompete corals, reducing the reef’s social-ecological values. READ MORE

  7. 5. The development of novel foods from Swedish pulses : Raw material composition and processing effects

    Author : Ferawati Ferawati; Cornelia M. Witthöft; Susanna Kariluoto; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; legumes; pulse flour; functional properties; dietary fibre; folate; volatile compounds; cheese analogue; protein isolate; high-moisture extrusion; meat analogue.; Livsmedelsvetenskap; Food Science;

    Abstract : A gradual shift towards a healthier and more sustainable diet with a higher quantity of plant-based products is suggested to be one of the most efficient ways to alleviate environmental pressure from the current food system. Pulses could play a crucial role in this shift due to the multi-faceted benefits they have on the environment and human health. READ MORE
