  1. 16. Formulation of nanoemulsions stabilized by cellulose nanocrystals

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

    Author : Marco Maccagno; [2020]
    Keywords : nanocellulose; hydroxypropyl methilcellulose; Pickering emulsions; microfluidization; drug delivery; nanocellulosa; hydroxipropylmetylcellulosa; Pickering emulsioner; microfluidization; drogleverans;

    Abstract : Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are bio-based nanoparticles with the ability to stabilize oil and water emulsions thanks to their intermediate wettability and nanometric size. These and other types of particle-stabilized emulsions, commonly referred to as Pickering emulsions, are of great academic and industrial interest due to their superior stability against drop coalescence compared to classical surfactant-stabilized emulsions.

  3. 17. Challenges in food system development for deep space missions

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Tor Blomqvist; [2020]
    Keywords : space food; deep space; microgravity; Mars; space food systems; bioregenerative food systems; food processing;

    Abstract : With a reinvigoration of space travel, space agencies around the world collaborate to land the first woman and the next man on the moon by 2024, establish a moonbase with a constant human lunar presence by 2028 and bring humans to Mars by 2030. Even though we may have the technology to bring humans to Mars, we do not have the required food systems and the food technology to sustain them. READ MORE

  4. 18. Soaking and fermentation of Lupin seeds to improve their nutritional properties

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

    Author : Luut Hermans; [2020]
    Keywords : Lupin; Fermentation; Soaking; Dehulling; Phytate; Phenols; Total phenolic content; Protein; Food technology; Livsmedelsteknologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Lupin seeds contain like many other grains and legumes the mineral inhibitor phytate. The presence of this anti-nutrient decreases the bioavailability of minerals such as zinc and iron. READ MORE

  5. 19. Swedish crops for the use in production of tempeh : which raw materials grown in the Swedish crop-system can be applied in tempeh production?

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Lovisa Nilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : antinutrients; cereals; fermentation; legumes; Sweden; tempeh;

    Abstract : With a growing world population, the demands on the food industry are increasing. By reducing the intake of animal protein and replacing it with plant protein, the resource use and emission from the food industry would decrease. Tempeh is a fermented plant food, and acts as a substitute to meats. READ MORE

  6. 20. Physiological adaptive mechanism to oxidative stress in Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Julian David Rivera Ramirez; [2019]
    Keywords : Applied microbiology; Teknisk mikrobiologi; Biology and Life Sciences; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Probiotics are living microorganisms which could induce a potential health benefit to the host when consumed in adequate amounts. Among the different probiotics in the market, Lactobacillus reuteri strain DSM 17938 is a microaerophilic and heterofermentative organism that is able to tolerate high oxygen conditions compared with another L.
