  1. 1. The effect of high pressure homogenization on emulsions containing oat β-glucan : a study of viscosity, stability and molecular weight

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Dominika Kiesling; [2023]
    Keywords : oat; β-glucan; high pressure homogenization; emulsion; stability; food technology; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : This master thesis project has been conducted in cooperation with Lantmännen AB who are producers of PromOat® - an oat β-glucan powder concentrate. The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the properties of emulsions containing PromOat® oat β-glucan, focusing on the viscosity, stability, and molecular weight before and after high pressure homogenization (HPH) at pressures of 100, 150 and 200 bars.

  3. 2. Load-velocity profiles as a predictor of performance level in swimming : What differentiates international elite swimmers from national elite – force capacity or efficiency?

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysiologi, nutrition och biomekanik

    Author : Maria Vitazka; [2023]
    Keywords : Load-Velocity; Force-Velocity; Force Capacity; Swimming; Biomechanics; Performance indicators; International elite; swimming performance; 1080 Sprint; 1080 Motion; Semi-tethered force measurements; tethered force measurements; maximum velocity; load; force; swimming efficiency;

    Abstract : Aim  The purposes of this study were to investigate if the load-velocity (L-V) profile parameters – force capacity and efficiency - differ between swimmers of different performance level, and to investigate if efficiency is the key performance indicator between international elite and national elite level swimmers.  Method  Fifty-four swimmers (27 female and 27 male) of either regional level, national elite or international elite level, participated in this study.

  4. 3. Evaluation of the Effect of Quinoa-containing bread varieties on acute blood glucose and insulin responses

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Cecilia Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : applied nutrition and food chemistry; quinoa; bread; postprandial blood glucose; insulin; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Three quinoa-containing breads made from three different varieties of quinoa were presented as test products to be compared with a control of regular white wheat bread. The study was a randomised controlled single-blind, crossover in which blood glucose, insulin and subjective appetite sensations “Hunger”, “Satiety” and “Desire to eat” were measured in regular intervals during a three hours period after food consumption.

  5. 4. Correlation between Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of reindeer pasture plants : Korrelation mellan Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) och smältbarhet av renbetesväxter i vomvätska in vitro (VOS)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Jannica Helmersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NDVI; in vitro organic matter digestibility; IVOMD; VOS; caribou; Rangifer tarandus; reindeer pasture plants; drone;

    Abstract : Renen livnär sig på många olika betesväxter och den följer växtfenologins utveckling under barmarkssäsongen, vilket resulterar i högkvalitativt foderintag. Levande växtbiomassa kan uppskattas på landskapsnivå genom att använda vegetationsindex som värderar vegetation utifrån spektrala mätningar. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Association between Minimum Dietary Diversity and Stunting among 6-23 months children in Myanmar : A cross-sectional analysis of Myanmar Demographic and Health Survey (2015-16)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Aung Than Oo; [2023]
    Keywords : Minimum dietary diversity; childhood stunting; Myanmar;

    Abstract : Abstract Background Childhood stunting is a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries including Myanmar. There are many negative consequences of childhood stunting such as immediately during childhood and irreversible effects which can extend to adulthood. READ MORE
