1. 1. Development of a Near Infrared Spectroscopy Model for Prediction of Fibre Compounds in Alfalfa

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Christina Andersen; [2020]
   Keywords : alfalfa; lucerne; medicago sativa; green protein powder; NIR; near infrared spectroscopy; model development; matlab; PLS; partial least squares; PCA; principal component analysis; SNV; standard normal variate; fibre prediction; TDF; total dietary fibre; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Background: This project investigates if it is possible to develop a calibration model from near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic measurements, for determination of the amount and type of fibre fractions within protein powder produced from the legume alfalfa, without performing wet experiments. Alfalfa is also known as Medicago sativa and lucerne, but is in this project further referred to as alfalfa. READ MORE

3. 2. Soluble and insoluble fractions from nopal (Opuntia ficus) cladodes improve postprandial glycaemic regulation: a crossover randomized study in healthy volunteers

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

   Author : Wanussavee Deenissai; [2020]
   Keywords : Nopal cladodes; Glycaemic regulation; Randomized cross-over study; Dietary fibre; Hydrolysis index; Applied nutrition; Food chemistry; Industriell näringslära; Livsmedelskemi; Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : Background and objectives: Type 2 diabetes has been increasing all over the world. A healthy diet, including particular functional foods is an effective strategy to prevent this form of diabetes. Nopal (Oputia ficus) is a cactus plant that, according to traditional medicine, has antidiabetic properties. READ MORE

4. 3. Exploring Deep Eutectic Solvent Pretreatment and Laccase Biobleaching on Oat Hulls in Efforts to Overcome Recalcitrance

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

   Author : Juanita Francis; [2019]
   Keywords : Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Oat production produces an abundant side stream product called oat hulls, formally regarded as a waste product. These oat hulls are nutritionally packed, containing insoluble dietary fibres. The solubilization and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of insoluble fibres, i.e. READ MORE

5. 4. Dietary fibre composition and sensory analysis of heat treated wheat and rye bran

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

   Author : Matilda Johansson; [2012]
   Keywords : wheat bran; rye bran; dietary fibre analysis; sensor analysis; heat treatment; soluble dietary fibre; insoluble dietary fibre;

   Abstract : When grains of wheat and rye are conventionally milled, large quantities of bran classified as by-products are left and are mainly used for animal feed. Bran is a complex material composed of the aleurone layer, nucellar epidermis, a seed coat, a fruit coat and a small proportion of the germ and endosperm depending on extraction rate. READ MORE

6. 5. Effect of fiber on physiochemical properties of digesta and fecal microbial composition in pigs

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

   Author : Amirsam Banino; [2012]
   Keywords : Pigs; Dietary fiber; Pectin; Arabinoxylan; Gut microbiota; Gut environment;

   Abstract : This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different dietary fiber sources on physicochemical properties of digesta and fecal microbial composition in growing pigs. Seven castrated Yorkshire pigs with an initial weight of 24.8 kg (SD 3. READ MORE
