  2. 1. Development of Transgenic Potatoes to Attain Novel Starch Qualities

    Author : Mariette Andersson; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Livsmedelsteknik; Food and drink technology; Biokemisk teknik; Biochemical technology; StGH; starch yield; RNAi; antisense; gene silencing; ahas; potato transformation; sbe2; sbe1; gbss; amylopectin; amylose; Starch; potato;

    Abstract : Starch is a plant-derived polysaccharide with many uses in different food and non-food applications. In this thesis, the production of two novel potato starch qualities, amylopectin and high-amylose, and the modifications and the characteristics of the produced plants and starches are described.

  5. 3. Extended impregnation kraft cooking of softwood : Effects on reject, yield, pulping uniformity, and physical properties

    Author : Katarina Karlström; Mikael E. Lindström; Elisabet Brännvall; Kristofer Gamstedt; Anna Jacobs; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high kappa number pulp; extended impregnation; softwood; spruce; picea abies; pine; pinus sylvestris; uniform delignification; kappa number distribution; reject; yield; tensile index; tensile stiffness index; SCT; starch multilayers; mechano-sorptive creep; hygroexpansion; dimensional stability; eucalypt; birch; acacia; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : Converting wood into paper is a complex process involving many different stages, one of which is pulping. Pulping involves liberating the wood fibres from each other, which can be done either chemically or mechanically. READ MORE

  6. 4. Bio-inspired cellulose nanocomposites and foams based on starch matrix

    Author : Anna Svagan; Lars A. Berglund; Salvatore Iannace; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; starch; cellulose nanofibers; foam; nanocomposites; cushioning materials; biodegradable; expanded polystyrene; mechanical properties; diffusion; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : In 2007 the production of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in the world was over 4 million tonnes and is expected to grow at 6 percent per year. With the increased concern about environmental protection, alternative biodegradable materials from renewable resources are of interest. READ MORE

  7. 5. From Starch to Starch Microspheres. Formation of an Ordered Structure during Processing

    Author : Lidia Elfstrand; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknik; Pharmaceutical and related technologies; Läkemedelsteknik och relaterad teknik; crystallization; Technological sciences; starch microspheres; protein delivery;

    Abstract : Starch microsphere is a dosage form suitable for the encapsulation of protein drugs. The starch microspheres investigated in this thesis are intended for release of the drug in a pre-designed way, or in controlled manner. READ MORE
