  1. 1. Side Streams Throughout the Food Supply Chain in Västra Götaland - A Study of Reported Data, Interviews with Food Producers and a Simplified LCA Case Study

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

    Author : Emma Kihlberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Food waste; Food loss; Side streams; Food supply chain; Västra Götaland; Food producers; LCA; Life cycle assessment; Sidoströmmar; Livsmedelskedjan; Livsmedelsproduktion; Livscykelanalys; Matsvinn; Matavfall; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Vikten av resurseffektivitet i livsmedelskedjan är tydlig, eftersom denna sektor är en av de största bidragarna till negativ klimatpåverkan globalt. Målet med den här uppsatsen var att utforska sidoströmmar av mat inom livsmedelskedjan i Västra Götaland, för att kartlägga hur mycket som redan är täckt i statistiken och vilka luckor i datamaterialet som finns för framtida forskning att täcka.

  3. 2. Feeding the 45 million : substituting soybean protein with insect protein within EU poultry and egg production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Douglas Hunter; [2019]
    Keywords : insects; insect production; livestock feed; entomophagy; land use; futures research; food security; energy security; black soldier fly; mealworm; house cricket; sustainable development;

    Abstract : A global population increasing both in number and in resource consumption per capita has resulted in food, livestock feed and energy crop demands that are increasingly difficult to meet on rapidly degrading soils within a diminishing available area of arable land. With further expansion of agricultural land infeasible and yield increases through further intensification insufficient to meet the scale of predicted crop demand, the use of insects as an animal feed has gained traction as a method of not only reducing competition for arable land, but also some of the detrimental environmental consequences of livestock and conventional feed production.

  4. 3. Enzyme-aided production of lipid emulsifiers from side-streams of the food industry: rapeseed press cake and oat oil

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Renske Bouma; [2017]
    Keywords : Lipid emulsifiers; enzymes; side-streams food industry; rapeseed press cake; oat oil; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis project was to utilize side-streams of the food industry, namely rapeseed cake and oat oil, by enzyme-aided production of lipid emulsifiers. The first objective was to extract lipids from the rapeseed press cake and increase protein yield, by adding an enzymatic step to the already existing protein extraction procedure developed by the food department of Lund University.
