  2. 16. Impregnation of Leaf Tissues and its Consequences on Metabolism and Freezing; Study on Vacuum Impregnation and Pulsed Electric Field Treatment

    Author : Katarzyna Dymek; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Freezing is a widely used method of preserving food products. Efforts are currently being directed towards improving the quality of the sensitive tissues of plant foods such as leaves, after freezing and thawing. READ MORE

  4. 17. NMR studies of metabolites and xenobiotics : From time-points to long-term metabolic regulation

    Author : Ina Ehlers; Jürgen Schleucher; Farquhar Graham; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NMR spectroscopy; isotopomer; phospholipid; persistent organic pollutant; CO2 fertilization; photorespiration;

    Abstract : Chemical species carry information in two dimensions, in their concentrations and their isotopic signatures. The concentrations of metabolites or synthetic compounds describe the composition of a chemical or biological system, while isotopic signatures describe processes in the system by their reaction pathways, regulation, and responses to external stimuli.

  5. 18. Texture and microstructure of legume-based mixed gels

    Author : Mathias Johansson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Reducing consumption of animal-based proteins by shifting to plant-based alternatives can significantly reduce of the environmental impact of food consumption. Faba bean and pea are protein-rich crops which could act as local plant protein sources in cool climate regions such as Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 19. Folate - Associations with breast cancer depending on intake, metabolism, genetic variation and estrogen receptor status

    Author : Ulrika Ericson; Diabetes - kardiovaskulär sjukdom; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; folate; B-vitamins; breast cancer; diet; epidemiology; nutrition; plasma; polymorphism; estrogen receptor α; estrogen receptor β; reproducibility; prospective;

    Abstract : Folate is a B-vitamin that may influence cancer development via its role as methyl donor for DNA synthesis and methylation. Plant foods contain many bioactive compounds including folate and fiber. Results from the Malmö Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort indicate lower breast cancer risk at high fiber intake. READ MORE

  7. 20. Bioactivity of Medicinal Bolivian Andean plants. Effects on cell proliferation and related processes

    Author : Gloria Rodrigo; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bolivian medicinal plants; colon cancer; cell proliferation; DNA synthesis; apoptosis; caspase-3; sesquiterpene; curcuphenol; damsin; coronopilin;

    Abstract : Colon cancer is common in both developed and developing countries, and is responsible for at least 600,000 deaths globally every year. It is therefore the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality. Extensive studies are being conducted worldwide to find more effective drugs that can be used in cancer treatment. READ MORE
