  1. 16. The Production and Characteristics of an Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato Yogurt

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

    Author : Ariam Kunfu; [2023]
    Keywords : Sweet potato; fermentation; Ghana; yogurt; L. bulgaricus; S. thermophilus; food technology and nutrition; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : Yogurt is an ancient food, used for a better preservation of milk. Milk gets fermented by Streptococcus thermophilicus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (lactic acid bacteria, LAB) which converts the lactose present in the milk to lactic acid. These probiotics support the microbial population balance of the gastrointestinal tract. READ MORE

  3. 17. A new generation ofsmart food packaging : A combination of releasing anti-microbial and generation carbon dioxide inmeat packaging

    University essay from Karlstads universitet

    Author : samar salahieh; [2023]
    Keywords : adsorption isotherms; desorption kinetics; benzoic acid; thymol; modified calcium carbonate; silica gel; carbon dioxide; food pad.; adsorptionsisotermer; desorptionskinetiken; bensoesyra; tymol; modifierat kalciumkarbonat; kisel gel; koldioxid; food pad.;

    Abstract : Abstract Food sustainability depends significantly on packaging since it helps maintainfood safe and fresh throughout its shelf life, resulting in the least amount ofwaste and the least negative environmental impact. The main objective of thisstudy is to determine the adsorbed and released amount of antimicrobial agents(benzoic acid and thymol) on modified calcium carbonate (MCC) by investigating adsorption isotherm at 25°C and desorption kinetics at both 22°C and5°C of anti-microbial to identify potential solutions to enhance the long-termsustainability of fresh products such as meat.

  4. 18. Food choices in physically active individuals with regard to sustainability

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kost- och idrottsvetenskap

    Author : Cosima Nuszbaum; [2022-08-19]
    Keywords : food choices; food selection; sustainability; protein; performance;

    Abstract : (1) Background: Food choices among consumers can have an impact on the total climate carbon footprint from food consumption. To decrease those emissions, a change in dietary habits is necessary. The recommendation for a shift towards a more sustainable diet is decreasing the amount of animal-based foods and increasing plant-based foods. READ MORE

  5. 19. Carbon Flows in Sweden : A Substance Flow Analysis of anthropogenic carbon flows

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Sofia Gunnarsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Carbon; Carbon Flow; Carbon Stock; Substance Flow Analysis; Sweden; Industrial Ecology; Anthropogenic;

    Abstract : Carbon (C) is an essential element for all life. However, modern livestock keeping and usage of carbon through burning of fossil fuels are resulting in increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere, two important greenhouse gases (GHG). READ MORE

  6. 20. The application of low-cost sensors in estimates of greenhouse gases : A field study at a wastewater treatment plant

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten; Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

    Author : Daniel Montecinos; Saga Magnusson; [2022]
    Keywords : Methane; Carbon dioxide; wastewater treatment; Low-cost sensor network; Measurement; Environmental monitoring;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic activity has caused increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere which has resulted in global warming gaining momentum. GHG emission estimates up to date are insufficient and in order to mitigate GHG emissions of anthropogenic origin fluxes of GHGs need to be mapped. READ MORE
