  2. 1. Biodegradable Blends and Nanocomposite Films with Amylopectin, Poly(lactic acid) and Chitosan Matrices

    Author : David Nordqvist; Mikael S. Hedenqvist; Mats Stading; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amylopectin; chitosan; microfibrillated cellulose; nanocomposite; montmorillonite; coupling agent; amylopektin; kitosan; mikrofibrillär cellulose; nanokomposit; montmorillonit; kompatibilisator; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : Användningan av engångsförpackningar har ökat kraftigt de senaste åren. Den absolut största delen av dessa förpackningar tillverkars av oljebaserade plaster såsom polyetylen (PE) och polypropylen (PP). Dessa har även en oerhört lång nedbrytningstid, vilket gör det viktigt att finna mer miljövänliga alternativ. READ MORE

  4. 2. Staling and Starch Retrogradation in Speciality Bread

    Author : Jeanette Purhagen; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anti-staling agents; Staling; Starch retrogradation; Bread; Water content; Bran; Heat-treated additives; Gluten-free bread;

    Abstract : Bread products are one of the most common and important foods in our daily diet, and have been since ancient times. Although it has a long history and comes in many variations, the staling phenomenon of bread is still not fully known. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development of Transgenic Potatoes to Attain Novel Starch Qualities

    Author : Mariette Andersson; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Livsmedelsteknik; Food and drink technology; Biokemisk teknik; Biochemical technology; StGH; starch yield; RNAi; antisense; gene silencing; ahas; potato transformation; sbe2; sbe1; gbss; amylopectin; amylose; Starch; potato;

    Abstract : Starch is a plant-derived polysaccharide with many uses in different food and non-food applications. In this thesis, the production of two novel potato starch qualities, amylopectin and high-amylose, and the modifications and the characteristics of the produced plants and starches are described.

  6. 4. Means to Optimize the Nutritional Properties of Starch in Potato Products - Impact on glycaemia, satiety and resistant starch content

    Author : Margareta Leeman; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Näringslära; amylopectin; starch; glycaemic index; resistant starch; Nutrition; vinegar; satiety; amylose; Solanum tuberosum; potato;

    Abstract : Despite decreased consumption potatoes still constitute an important staple in the Swedish diet. An objection to potatoes and potato products from a nutritional point of view is the ease by which the starch is digested and absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biocomposites Based on Core-Shell Cellulose Nanofibers : Preparation, Structure, and Properties

    Author : Kasinee Prakobna; Lars Berglund; David Plackett; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biocomposites; cellulose nanofibers; polysaccharides; holocellulose; nanostructure; dispersion; mechanical properties; hygromechanical properties; moisture stability; film; porous material; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are of interest as load-bearing components for polymer matrix nanocomposites. A wide range of nanostructured materials including nanopaper/films, foams, aerogels, and hydrogels can be prepared from CNFs. The material performance can be fine-tuned when CNFs are combined with different polymer matrices. READ MORE
