  2. 1. 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

    Author : Jingnan Zhang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; valorization; pomaces; protein techno-functionality; press cakes; by-products; fish protein; fruit; natural antioxidants; lipid oxidation; berry; protein gels;

    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

    Abstract : Barley is a good source of dietary fibre, particularly β-glucan and arabinoxylan, to increase formation of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Butyric and propionic acid are involved in the preservation of colonic barrier function, thus decreasing the risk of inflammation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Production in a State of Abundance : Valuation and Practice in the Swedish Meat Supply Chain

    Author : Jonas Bååth; Patrik Aspers; Tora Holmberg; Turo-Kimmo Lehtonen; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : This thesis is a sociological contribution to the study of abundance. It discusses the case of Swedish meat producers and how they persist in producing pork and beef despite a lack of demand and competitive disadvantages compared with foreign suppliers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Of seagrass and society : Exploring contributions of tropical seagrass meadows to food security

    Author : Benjamin Jones; Johan S. Eklöf; Lina M. Nordlund; Leanne C. Cullen-Unsworth; Richard K.F. Unsworth; Maricela de la Torre-Castro; Christina Hicks; Stockholms universitet; []

    Abstract : Conserving biodiversity while simultaneously feeding a growing population is one of the grand challenges of the Anthropocene. Recently, global assessments have shone a light on the importance of the marine environment for the supply of food (often termed blue food), as well as the diverse and many livelihood opportunities associated to it.
