1. Fermentation of quinoa, canihua and amaranth to degrade phytate and improve mineral bioavailability
Abstract : Plant-based diets are the main source of nutrients for vegetarians worldwide and for low-income inhabitants of developing countries, such as in rural areas of Bolivia. These diets may contain high levels of mineral inhibitors such as phytate that impairs mineral absorption in the human gut. READ MORE

2. Characterisation of Food Associated Bacteria by DNA based Methods, with Special Reference to Enterobacteriaceae
Abstract : The presence of genes in food, encoding some virulence factors, was studied by PCR, and species of Enterobacteriaceae, associated with food, were studied by the DNA-based methods of TTGE, ribotyping and sequencing. The flora of fresh and chill-stored pork were analysed by a culture-independent approach, using specific amplification of 16S rRNA genes followed by cloning and sequencing. READ MORE

3. Metaproteogenomics-guided enzyme discovery : Targeted identification of novel proteases in microbial communities
Abstract : Industrial biotechnology is a large and growing industry as it is part of establishing a “greener” and more sustainable bioeconomy-based society. Using enzymes as biocatalysts is a viable alternative to chemicals and energy intense industrial processes and is en route to a more sustainable industry. READ MORE

4. Lactobacillus in semi-hard cheese and their use as adjunct cultures
Abstract : The microflora of Herrgård cheese produced at three dairies was compared after three and six months maturation. The microflora of cheeses from two of the dairies was dominated by a spontaneous microflora of Lactobacillus after three months of ripening, while starter bacteria still dominated in cheese from the third dairy after six months.

5. Yeast biotechnology for nutritional improvements of fermented cereal-based foods - Phytate degradation and folate production
Abstract : Anaemia is a serious public health problem in nearly all developing countries. It has negative consequences on cognitive and physical development of children, reduces work capacity in adults, and increases the risk of maternal and child mortality. READ MORE
