  1. 11. Cultivating oleaginous yeast on spent mushroom substrate and logging residues hydrolysate : an assessment of yeast growth on side product substrates from the food, agriculture, and forestry industry

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Robin Lukic; [2023]
    Keywords : Lignocellulose; side products; oleaginous yeast; yeast oil; microtiter plate system; redox indicator; yeast growth; spent mushroom substrate hydrolysate; logging residues hydrolysate;

    Abstract : There is an interest in finding alternatives to vegetable oils because of negative environmental impact. Many green sectors generate an abundant amount of side products that are inedible and consist in large of lignocellulose rich materials. READ MORE

  3. 12. Study of the effects of the operating conditions of a decanter centrifuge on a pilot-scale protein recovery setup from cold-pressed rapeseed press cake

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

    Author : Sergio de La Cruz Padilla; [2023]
    Keywords : By-product; Rapeseed press cake; protein; Food engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is significant evidence to suggest that diets that include high levels of meat consumption have negative effects on both the environment and human health. As a result, efforts are being made to identify and characterize more plant-based proteins, such as those found in rapeseed. READ MORE

  4. 13. Shelf-life study of rice pudding: Differences in assorted rice varieties and how they change in texture over time

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

    Author : Johanna Bengtsson; [2023]
    Keywords : food engineering; rice starch; rice texture analysis; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : This master thesis was performed in collaboration with Orkla Foods Sweden AB. The aim of the study was to investigate rice pudding and how storage time affects the texture properties of the rice grains inside the pudding, and if this could be related to some of the properties of the raw rice.

  5. 14. Fouling modelling in a UHT unit based on plant data.

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

    Author : Thai Lam; [2023]
    Keywords : UHT; dairy; tubular heat exchanger; fouling development; fouling removal; food engineering; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : Heat treatment of dairy products is essential for food safety, one way to perform this is ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing. During the process, macronutrients and minerals form fouling deposits which impairs heat transfer. Eventually the fouling needs to be removed chemically by alkaline and acidic detergents. READ MORE

  6. 15. We Are the Solution: Seed Sovereignty, Local Knowledge Systems and Women’s Liberation Through Rice Farming in Southern Senegal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Humanekologi

    Author : Na Haby Stella Faye; [2023]
    Keywords : Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The system of capitalist agriculture increasingly shows its social, economic and ecological failures. Some of the alternatives are based on food and seed sovereignty. However, the knowledge systems underlying seed saving practices, especially in the West African context, have been overlooked. READ MORE
