2. 1. Content and Distribution of Short-Chain Fatty Acids in the Hindgut of Rats Fed Various Sources of Indigestible Carbohydrates

   Author : Åsa Henningsson; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rats; red kidney beans; Nutrition; Näringslära; oligosaccharides; non-starch polysaccharides; resistant starch; dietary fibres; indigestible carbohydrates; short-chain fatty acids; fermentation;

   Abstract : There is increasing evidence that short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) formed by colonic fermentation of indigestible carbohydrates have beneficial physiological effects. Butyric acid is the main energy substrate for the colonic mucosa and has been implicated as important in the prevention and treatment of diseases of the colonic mucosa, such as distal ulcerative colitis and cancer.

4. 2. Towards a mechanism for surface hydrophobization of paper - Effect of combinations of polyelectrolytes and polymer particles

   Author : Frida Iselau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanoparticles; kinetics.; paper hydrophobization; starch; Surface sizing; interactions; aggregation;

   Abstract : Paper materials are cost effective and light weighted, they can easily be recycled and their use as an alternative to plastics is advantageous from an environmental andsustainability perspective. However, competing with plastics for packaging applications is a challenge for cellulosic products. READ MORE

5. 3. Characterization of Starch Using Flow Field-Flow Fractionation Techniques

   Author : Catalina Fuentes; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : To improve the properties and functionality of starch, it is important to understand the physicochemical and structural characteristics as raw material, after being modified to increase its characteristics and/or during changes due to the processing conditions. For this reason, the objective of the present thesis is to improve the understanding of characteristics and molecular properties like molar mass (M), root-mean-square radius (rrms) and their relation to other physicochemical properties of starch extracted from different sources.

6. 4. Species specific susceptibility testing for ß-lactam antibiotics. With special reference to staphylococci

   Author : Ann Cathrine Petersson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bakteriologi; mycology; Mikrobiologi; virology; bacteriology; beta-lactamase; staphylococcus; methicillin resistance; Microbiology; mecA susceptibility testing; virologi; mykologi;

   Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to identify methods for the detection of ß-lactam resistance in staphylococci, bacteria often causing nosocomial infections. Detection of ß-lactam resistance in these species is difficult due to strong regulation of genes encoding for the two main resistance mechanisms, ß-lactamase production and the penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 2?.
