    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Oskar Larsson; Filippa Goh; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicinalsvamp; sekundära metaboliter; produktion;

    Abstract : Ganoderma lucidum (Lackticka) är en saprofytisk svamp i ordningen Polyporales som livnär sig på att bryta ned ved av hårda lövträd. Utseendet kan variera en aning men kännetecknas främst av sin hårda, glansiga, röda fruktkropp som vanligtvis växer i en halvmåneform. READ MORE

  3. 2. Valorising spent coffee grounds : An assessment of possibilities in the municipality of Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emma Westling; [2023]
    Keywords : Food waste hierarchy; spent coffee grounds; circular economy; economic assessments; waste valorisation; Matavfallshierarki; Kaffesump; Cirkulär ekonomi; ekonomisk bedömning; avfallsvalorisering;

    Abstract : Circular economy is an economic model that is gaining more and more attention, themodel aims to close production chains by recirculate waste into the system as newraw material. Spent coffee grounds are a waste that has great potential to becomenew products since the spent coffee ground contains many valuable substances suchas polysaccharides, polyphenols, and lipids.
