  2. 16. On Folates in Yeasts -Exploring Yeasts as Vehicles for Biofortification of Folates in Food

    Author : Sofia Hjortmo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; yeast; B vitamin; biofortification; bread; indigenous food; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; folic acid; fermented food; togwa; Folate;

    Abstract : High intake of the B vitamin folate during pregnancy is known to decrease the risk for development of neural tube defects. In addition, a good folate status may prevent the progression of several diseases such as megaloblastic anaemia, cardiovascular disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. READ MORE

  4. 17. Industrially Pre-Treated Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) Served in Large-Scale Food Service Systems

    Author : Klara Sjölin; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Potatoes Solanum tuberosum L. ; large-scale food service system; Industrial pre-treatment; subsurface hardening; Potatoes Solanum tuberosum L. ; subsurface hardening; industrial pre-treatment; large-scale food service systems;

    Abstract : In Swedish schools, a warm lunch is served every day. The lunch is prepared in a largescale food service system and includes steam-cooked potatoes several times per week. The potatoes are often industrially pre-treated to facilitate the handling and logistics required to cook hundreds of meals in a couple of hours. READ MORE

  5. 18. Faba bean foods: Structure and texture : Evaluation of faba bean component behaviours in different product matrices

    Author : Klara Nilsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Faba bean (Vicia faba minor) is a cool-climate crop that could serve as a locally sourced sustainable ingredient in transition towards a more plant-based diet in temperate regions. Poor texture is one of the main aversion factors of plant-based foods, so this thesis characterised the functionality of faba bean components and their effect on structure and texture in different food matrices.

  6. 19. Assessment of local food distribution : challenges and possibilities for logistics development

    Author : Ingrid Nordmark; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : There is increasing interest in local food, as consumers feel confidence in such food. Local food has good opportunities to fulfil quality aspects/requirements of transparency and traceability in the supply chain due to the possibilities for direct interaction between producers and consumers.
