  1. 26. Effects of Vacuum Impregnation with Various Substances in Combination with Pulsed Electric Field to Improve the Freezing Tolerance of Arugula Leaves

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

    Author : George Lukhava; [2021]
    Keywords : Food Engineering; Food Preservation; Pulsed Electric Fields; PEF; Vacuum Impregnation; VI; Arugula; Cryoptrotectant; Glycerol; Secondary Metabolites; Folic Acid; Folate; Folacin; Vitamin B1; Thiamine; Thiamin; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : As of 2020 an estimated number of 821 million people across the world are undernourished and that figure is expected to grow by 2 billion before the end of 2050 (United Nations Sustainable Development 2020). Despite this, every year over 1/3 of food produced globally is disposed of without consumption (Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition 2018), and the actual number might be much higher.

  3. 27. Investigating future land use scenarios: consequences for food production and grassland preservation in the steppe biome, Orenburg province of Southwestern Russia

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

    Author : Nataliia Pustilnik; [2020]
    Keywords : land use change; scenarios; shared socio-economic pathways; land use-change modelling; steppe; grasslands;

    Abstract : Many land systems experience massive ecological pressure due to ongoing land use changes for the increasing demand for food, but also need to sustain essential ecosystem services. Computer-based model scenarios help to anticipate the consequences of different socio-economic future transition pathways for humans and nature and evaluate trade-offs between various demands on land.

  4. 28. Making wood durable. A sustainable approachwith linseed oil

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Helena Olsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Linseed oil; Wood preservation; Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR ; Diffusion Ordered Spectroscopy DOSY ; Time-resolved oxidation study; Linolja; Bevarande träbehandling; Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR ; Diffusion Ordered Spectroscopy DOSY ; Oxidationstidsstudie;

    Abstract : Linseed oil has been and is used for vast number of applications, such as in food and paint industry, and wood preservation. It is a good environmental choice, as it originates from renewable sources. Linseed oil is mainly a mixture of triglyceride of fatty acids, both saturated and mono- or polyunsaturated, which allows the oil to oxidize. READ MORE

  5. 29. Extending the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables in retail stores - Assessment of an innovative controlled atmosphere solution

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Mathieu Casanovas; [2019]
    Keywords : Food waste; fruits; vegetables; controlled atmosphere; innovation; shelf-life; quality; viability; environmental impact; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Fruits and vegetables (F&V) waste in retail stores linked to consumer dissatisfaction has led to an increased interest in new preservation solutions to extend the shelf-life of fresh produce. In this study, the potential of controlled atmosphere (CA) combined with optimal temperature and relative humidity (RH) to extend the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables (F&V) in retail stores for short-term storage periods was assessed using an innovative prototype.

  6. 30. Optimization of Pulse Electric Field Treatment and Vacuum Impregnation for Reducing Freezing Injury of Thawed Rucola Leaves

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

    Author : Imelda Christiana Nyoto; [2018]
    Keywords : food engineering; livsmedelsteknik; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : Freezing injuries usually take place in thawed plant-based food products. To reduce freezing injuries, Pulse Electric Field (PEF) treatment and Vacuum Impregnation (VI) of cryoprotectant were used before the freezing process. READ MORE
