  1. 1. The role of pectin medifications during host invasion and infection by the parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Martina Leso; [2020]
    Keywords : Hausrorium; Phtheirospermum japonicum; Pectin modification; PME; PMEI; EMS-screen;

    Abstract : Parasitic plants are organisms that feed on other plants, often distantly related to them evolutionarily. This feeding strategy causes them to be a major threat to agriculture, negatively affecting the yields of many staple crops like sorghum and rice. READ MORE

  3. 2. Developing microscopy methods for evaluating bio-processed Brewers Spent Grain (BSG)

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

    Author : Sera Susan Jacob; [2019]
    Keywords : microstructure; CLSM; immuno-labelling; β- glucan; arabinoxylan; cell wall; EPS; food technology; livsmedelsteknologi; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : Spent grain (BSG) is the solid residue obtained during brewing containing leftover malt and adjuncts. Though nutrient-dense, it is found to negatively impact texture and colour when used its raw form as an ingredient in food. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of GM trees expressing a fungal enzyme : investigating the effects of the fungal enzyme on activation of jasmonate signaling using JAZ10:GUS reporter lines of Arabidopsis

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology

    Author : Elin Bäckström; Therese Thalin; [2019]
    Keywords : cell wall formation; cell wall composition; genetic modification; genetic improvement; ; GUS;

    Abstract : The fungi enzyme glucuronoyl esterase can be used to change the cell wall composition in plants for easier extraction of cellulosic biomass compounds for the production of biomaterials and biofuels. However, previous studies have shown that expression of glucuronoyl esterase in plants causes stress response, mediated by jasmonate signaling, and growth penalty. READ MORE

  5. 4. Preparation and evaluation of arabinoxylan based prebiotics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Mohammad Abu Mursalin Sajib; [2018]
    Keywords : Arabinoxylan; Probiotics; Prebiotics; Food; Xylanase; Brewer s spent grain; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of health promoting bacteria in the colon, resulting in homeostasis to the gut environment. It is considered to be the solution of many health-related diseases such as type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. 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.
