    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Freja Haverland; [2024]
    Keywords : drought; PGPR; exudates; agriculture; food security;

    Abstract : Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a crop that dominates the diets of about 35% of the world's human population. But wheat yields can be severely affected by drought. Therefore, in this experiment, root exudation of winter wheat was compared to find out how exudation changes during drought stress. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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)

    Author : Anna Wagne; [2023]
    Keywords : Lignin; extraction; hydrophobicity; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    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
