  1. 11. Pulse Electric Field as a Pre-treatment Method of Wastewater Sludge prior to Anaerobic Digestion

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Milton Matilde; [2020]
    Keywords : PEF; AD; biogas yield; sludge pre-treatment; water engineering; environmental engineering; avloppsteknik; vattenförsörjningsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This work analyzed the impact caused by different intensities of Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) pre-treatment on the biogas production from small-scale anaerobic digesters of wastewater sludge under thermophilic conditions. PEF technology consists of passing the substrate through an electric field which generates a potential difference across the cells, resulting in electroporation. READ MORE

  2. 12. Upscaling of FDCA Synthesis from HMF to an Industrial Scale

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Linnéa Wahlberg; [2020]
    Keywords : FDCA; HMF; Plastics; Sugar; Biobased; PEF; Industry; Industrial scale; Production; Upscaling; 2; 5-furandicarboxylic acid; 5-hydroxymethylfurfural; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : To support the transition into green plastics, the upscaling and economic analysis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) synthesis from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was done. The project can be described as a plant-to-plastics process, with sugar beet-derived HMF as a starting point. READ MORE

  3. 13. Shelf life of fresh-cut fruits and salad leaves treated with Pulsed Electric Field (PEF)

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

    Author : Chandan Soni; [2019]
    Keywords : PEF; pulsed electric field; reversible electroporation; calorimeter; metabolic rate; shelf life; fresh commodities; food engineering; livsmedelsteknik; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Application of Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) treatment on five fresh commodities was analysed for the changes in the metabolic and physiological effects on their shelf life. Treatment parameters were optimised in order to achieve uniform electroporation on the samples, which was analysed by Propidium Iodide staining for the leaf samples. READ MORE

  4. 14. 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

  5. 15. Application of pulsed electric fields and vacuum impregnation to improve the freezing tolerance of fresh Origanum vulgare leaves

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

    Author : Iliana Karasa; [2018]
    Keywords : Oregano leaves; Freezing; Freezing tolerance; Pretreatments; Vacuum Impregnation; Pulsed electric fields; food engineering; livsmedelsteknik; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : One of most ancient food preservation methods is freezing because there are not caused significant changes the sensory characteristics and nutritional value of foods. Last decade, have been made great steps for the optimization of freezing tolerance of fresh vegetables, fruits and species. READ MORE
