  2. 1. Phenolic content in cereals and legumes. Influence of processing and effect on in vitro availability

    Author : Elifatio E Towo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tannins; galloyls; cereals; polyphenol oxidase; catechols; phytase; polyphenols; phytate; iron binding phenols; legumes; in vitro iron availability;

    Abstract : Iron deficiency anaemia is highly prevalent in Tanzania, and one of the major causes is the low bioavailability of iron in the plant food staple diet. Cereals and legumes contain large amounts of compounds that inhibit iron absorption, e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cereal Dietary Fibre - Physicochemical Properties and Suitability for Addition to Low-Fat Meat Products

    Author : Karin Petersson; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dietary fibre; cereals; oat bran; rye bran; wheat bran; barley fibre; hydrolytic enzymes; physicochemical properties; low-fat sausages; low-fat meatballs; sensory perception; texture;

    Abstract : It is well known that dietary fibre is good for the health. Cereals, and in particular the outer parts of the cereal kernels, are rich in dietary fibre. Rye bran, wheat bran, oat bran and barley fibre have been investigated regarding their suitability as additives in low-fat meat products. READ MORE

  6. 4. Particles from biomass combustion -Characteristics and influence of additives

    Author : Linda S Bäfver; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; combustion; particle emission; wood; biomass; cereals; wood pellets;

    Abstract : AbstractHigh particle concentration in the air is a health risk, and particles from domestic biomass combustion are a significant particle source. In larger boilers, particles are an important element in the build-up of deposits on heat transfer surfaces, causing increased operation and maintenance costs. READ MORE
