  2. 1. Environmental Improvments of the Post-Farm Dairy Chain: Production Management by Systems Analysis Methods

    Author : Johanna Berlin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; environment; cheese; dairy products; life cycle assessment; dairy; production scheduling; environmental systems analysis; actor analysis; yoghurt; LCA;

    Abstract : The production of dairy products is becoming more centralised at the same time as the number of different products is steadily increasing. In this thesis. the environmental impact of such ongoing development trends in the post-farm dairy chain was evaluated and improvements were suggested. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies on the Physiological Effects of Microbial Exopolysaccharides

    Author : Cecilia Lindström; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Probiotics; Prebiotics; Microbiota; Glycemic regulation; Dietary fiber; Oats; Lactic acid bacteria;

    Abstract : The spread of lifestyle-related diseases has become epidemic throughout the world. Impaired glucose metabolism and high levels of plasma cholesterol are risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease respectively. READ MORE

  5. 3. Milk Genomics – Impact of Genetic Polymorphism on Bovine Milk Composition and Processability

    Author : Maria Glantz; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; milk genomics; bovine milk; milk composition; technological properties; processability; cheese; quantitative genetic evaluation; single gene effect; genomic selection; genetic polymorphism; leptin; direct genomic value;

    Abstract : Milk genomics is a new area of research that explores the relations between cow genetics and milk characteristics. Identifying the genes controlling compositional and technological traits of milk will give opportunities to select cows for targeted milk production. In this thesis, the impact of different genetic approaches, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 4. Thylakoid membrane from spinach - effect of processing on their function as appetite suppressing ingredient

    Author : Karolina Östbring; Aptitkontroll; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Drying; Storage Conditions; Appetite; Thylakoids; Heat treatment; Chlorophyll; Spinach;

    Abstract : Western diet contains a high proportion of palatable food, rich in refined carbohydrates and fat, that subsequently increases the risk of overconsumption and possibly leads to overweight and obesity. Therefore an approach to strengthen the inherent satiety for fat can be used to prevent overconsumption. READ MORE

  7. 5. Multivariate monitoring, modelling and control for stabilization of bioprocesses

    Author : Christian Cimander; Gunnar Lidén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The obstacles to overcome low reproducibility and stability of bioprocesses are numerous. Underlying biochemical processes are inherently non-linear, complex and subject to shifting initial conditions. Problems with high variability are also associated to production strains and scale-up of a bioprocess to largescale bioreactors. READ MORE
