  2. 1. Development of a Process for Reducing the Content of b-N-Oxalyl a,b-Diamino Propionic Acid (b-ODAP) in Grass Pea (Lathyrus sativus) Seeds: Nutritional Consequences and Technological Aspects

    Author : Girma Akalu; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; process optimization; functional properties; biological value; net protein utilization; starch digestibility; protein digestibility; Grass pea Lathyrus sativus ; b-ODAP; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik;

    Abstract : Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a leguminous food crop, grown mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions. It has valuable nutrients, however consumption of the seeds is reported to cause lathyrism, due to the presence of a non-protein amino acid (?-ODAP). READ MORE

  4. 2. On the two forms of amylose-lipid complexes

    Author : Fredrik Tufvesson; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bread; enzymatic hydrolysis; resistant starch; digestibility; fatty acid; monoglyceride; polar lipid; differential scanning calorimetry; annealing; amylose-lipid complex; crystallization; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis is about the formation of amylose-lipid complexes, and their properties. Two forms of superstructures can be identified. Complex form I has more randomly distributed helices, while the structure of form II is crystalline and therefore exhibits the typical V-pattern in X-ray diffraction analyses. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biochemical conversion of biomass : hydrothermal pretreatment, by-product formation, conditioning, enzymatic saccharification, and fermentability

    Author : Dimitrios Ilanidis; Leif J. Jönsson; Carlos Martin; Björn Alriksson; Eulogio Castro; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lignocellulosic biomass; hydrothermal pretreatment; enzymatic digestibility; ethanolic fermentation; microbial inhibitors; conditioning;

    Abstract : Lignocellulosic residues have great potential as feedstocks for production of bio-based chemicals and fuels. One of the main routes is biochemical conversion, which typically includes pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification, microbial fermentation of sugars, and valorization of hydrolysis lignin.

  6. 4. Digestibility and metabolism in icelandic horses fed forage-only diets

    Author : Sveinn Ragnarsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis was to investigate digestibility and metabolism in Icelandic horses fed forage differing in stage of maturity/harvesting date and at two feeding levels. Additional aims were to compare digestibility and metabolic plasma profile in Icelandic and Standardbred horses. READ MORE

  7. 5. Chicory (Cichorium intybus L) as fibre source in pig diets : effects on digestibility, gut microbiota and performance

    Author : Emma Ivarsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to increase our understanding about chicory (forage and root) as fibre source for pigs, by studying the effects of diets with inclusion of chicory on digestibility, digestion site, performance, gut microbiota and environment. In total 62 pigs were used, including newly weaned and growing intact pigs and growing post valve t-caecum (PVTC)-cannulated pigs. READ MORE
