1. 16. The effectivity of vacuum impregnation with glycerol and secondary metabolites on electroporated arugula leaves to improve freezing stability.

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

   Author : Oscar de Kuijer; [2021]
   Keywords : Pulsed electric field PEF; Arugula; Electroporation; Secondary metabolites; Glycerol; Food engineering; Livsmedelsteknik; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : Freeze damage is a common issue in many food items. The cellular dehydration caused by freezing can be prevented through addition of a cryoprotectant. Research has shown that it is possible to improve the freezing tolerance of plant materials by addition of cryoprotectants, which forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules. READ MORE

3. 17. Biomimetically improved materials comprising microfibrillated cellulose

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : Cornelia Byström; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is a renewable, cellulosic material mainly producedfrom wood fibers, which are found in the secondary cell walls of plant cells. With theincreased demand for renewable biopolymer films in packaging, MFC has emerged asa potential alternative to non-renewable polymer films. READ MORE

4. 18. Mathematical modeling of fatty acid metabolism during consecutive meals and fasting : New insights into fatty acid regulation based on arterio-venous data

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

   Author : Kajsa Tunedal; [2021]
   Keywords : Systems Biology; fatty acid metabolism; modeling;

   Abstract : Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are major problems in today's society, causing millions of deaths every year. One of the main risk factors for these diseases is a dysregulation of the fatty acid metabolism, where the balance between release and uptake of fatty acids is disturbed. READ MORE

5. 19. The Development Of Bio-Composite Films From Orange Waste : A Methodological And Evaluation Study Of Material Properties

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Samira Syed; [2021]
   Keywords : Orange waste; bio-composite films; biodegradable; glycerol; citric acid; ultrafine grinder film casting;

   Abstract : Bioplastic research has become more diverse and different types of research on bioplastic production have been conducted from fruits and vegetable waste, for example, orange waste. The wastes that come from oranges contain more than just vitamins, it has soluble sugars, starch, hemicellulose, cellulose, and pectin. READ MORE

   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.
