  1. 1. Waste or Want: Does processing have an effect on the desirability of upcycled food products? : a Swedish consumer acceptance study

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Joséphine Lefrancq Fröjd; [2024]
    Keywords : Upcycled foods; food processing; consumer acceptance; contingent valuation method; consumer behavior;

    Abstract : Food waste presents a significant obstacle to the food system’s transition to sustainability. With an ability to mitigate industrial food waste and its effects, the concept of upcycled food aims to safely adapt elements from the waste streams for human consumption by transforming them into ingredients to be used in novel ‘upcycled’ food products.

  3. 2. Characterization of Compost from Reusable Industrial Streams: : physical, Nutrient, and Microbial Properties

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Ellen Ek Moreau; [2023]
    Keywords : Spent mushroom compost; apple orchard waste; soil amendment; compost optimization; circular agriculture;

    Abstract : The increasing global population, combined with soil degradation, poses challenges to food security, and raises concerns about the excessive and long-term use of conventional fertilizers. Evaluating sustainable alternative by-products for their soil-improving properties could offer a potential solution, particularly for Swedish fruit producers who can tap into local waste streams as a circular source of plant nutrients.

  4. 3. Quality of Spent Mushroom Compost Amended with Organic Material- Effect on Nutrient Content and Plant Growth

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Rasha Kamel; [2023]
    Keywords : Apple Waste; Wood Chips; Microbial Content; pH; Pseudomonas; General Bacterial Flora; General Fungal Flora; Electrical Conductivity; Nutrient Content; Bulk Density; Porosity; Water Holding Capacity;

    Abstract : Peat, as a non-renewable growing media, poses environmental concerns due to extraction and decomposition processes, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatives growing media with potential to replace or reduce the use of peat are of great need. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effect of different food by-products on Tenebrio molitor growth and development in an industrial environment

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Anton Laggar Andreasson; [2023]
    Keywords : Tenebrio molitor; yellow mealworm; growth; development; industrial farming; wet feed; dry feed; by-products; insects; insects as food and feed; maturation; pupation;

    Abstract : Due to an increasing need for high-quality protein around the world, eyes are turning towards alternative methods of farming, such as insect farms. As insects can eat what humans cannot, e.g. food by-products, they can be a part of sustainable food systems. READ MORE

  6. 5. Machine Learning of Laser Ultrasonic Data to Predict Material Properties

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik och maskininlärning

    Author : Filip Tuvenvall; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Laser Ultrasonics; Material Properties; Steel; Hardness of Steel;

    Abstract : The hardness of steel is an important quality parameter for several industrial applications. Conventional mechanical testing is used in quality testing for material hardness and the method is time-consuming, can cause material mix-ups, and results in material waste. READ MORE
