  1. 1. Lipid content and profile of Rhodotorula toruloides during fermentation

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Khairul Kibria; [2021]
    Keywords : Rhodotorula toruloides; fatty acids; lipid class; triglycerides; phospholipid; gas chromatography;

    Abstract : Oleaginous yeast such as Rhodotorula toruloides is a promising organism for production of lipids from lignocellulosic substrates. Microbial lipids have potential applications in energy, food, feed and pharmaceutical industry, because most of the lipids are triglycerides with long chain fatty acids that are comparable to typical vegetable oils and can be obtained without arable land requirement.

  3. 2. Self-assembly of Fatty Acids of Hair at the water-air interface

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Marine Batista; [2020]
    Keywords : 18-MEA; 18-methyl eicosanoic acid; Langmuir films; Langmuir-Blodgett films; AFM; Self-assembly; Branched fatty acid; Curvature; 18-MEA; 18-methyleikosansyra; Langmuir monoskikt; Langmuir-Blodgett; AFM; Självassociering; Förgrenad fettsyra; Krökning;

    Abstract : 18-methyl eicosanoic acid (18-MEA), which is a branched fatty acid, is found at the outermost surface of mammalian hair with other straight-chain fatty acids such as palmitic acid and stearic acid. However, the precise role of 18-MEA is not yet completely understood. READ MORE

  4. 3. Field study of the drought’s impact on feeding strategy and biological parameters in early lactation dairy cattle

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Mikaela Würtz; [2019]
    Keywords : dairy cattle; drought; energy balance; feeding; metabolism;

    Abstract : The summer of 2018 was unusually warm and dry. For animal production, this resulted in poor pastures, reduced harvests of crops, such as roughage and grains, and increased risk for heat stress in the animals. The drought led to problems as in shortage of animal feed, which made the feeding of dairy cattle difficult. READ MORE

  5. 4. Analysis of fatty acids in egg yolks of various production systems

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Jonatan Nyberg; [2017]
    Keywords : egg; fatty acid; omega-3; egg enrichment; docosahexaenoic acid; omega-6 omega-3 ratio; organic; free range; DHA;

    Abstract : OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to compare fatty acid composition of different eggs. Seven kinds of eggs from three companies were taken, including organic, free range, enriched and “farmer” eggs. RESULTS: In total 15 fatty acids were identified. READ MORE

  6. 5. Enzyme-aided production of lipid emulsifiers from side-streams of the food industry: rapeseed press cake and oat oil

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Renske Bouma; [2017]
    Keywords : Lipid emulsifiers; enzymes; side-streams food industry; rapeseed press cake; oat oil; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis project was to utilize side-streams of the food industry, namely rapeseed cake and oat oil, by enzyme-aided production of lipid emulsifiers. The first objective was to extract lipids from the rapeseed press cake and increase protein yield, by adding an enzymatic step to the already existing protein extraction procedure developed by the food department of Lund University.
