1. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

2. Mechanistic Model Development for a Multi-Enzyme Protein Hydrolysis Process
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)Abstract : New food products are constantly put on the market. Today the focus often lies in creating nutritional and sustainable products to reduce the environmental impact of the product in question. One example of this is the approval of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio Molitor, as a novel food in the European union. READ MORE

3. Investigation of Milled Wood Lignin Extraction Using Enzymatic Hydrolysis for Application in Hydrophobic Barriers in the Food Packaging Industry
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)Abstract : The objective of this report is twofold: to optimise the extraction method of lignin from spruce altering a few process parameters and to investigate the use of lignin as a hydrophobic barrier in food applications. The process used was STEX (steam explosion) pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and MWL (milled wood lignin) extraction using a mixture of dioxane-water. READ MORE

5. Swedish “tofu” from faba beans : a textural and structural analysis
University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesAbstract : Tofu, a traditional soybean product, is a popular plant-based alternative which could potentially be produced from Swedish-grown faba beans (Vicia faba L.). The aim of this project was to asses the viability of producing a tofu-like faba bean product using food grade gypsum (calcium sulphate) as coagulant. READ MORE
