2. 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
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

5. Wheat quality under a climate spell : a focus on protein, physico-chemical and growth characteristics evaluated by innovatively combined approaches
Abstract : The quality of bread is largely determined by the gluten protein concentration and composition, both greatly influenced by environmental factors such as heat and drought. Future climate in Sweden is expected to fluctuate severely, affecting gluten proteins and the production of bread wheat, as well as future availability of food. READ MORE
