  1. 36. Swedish “tofu” from faba beans : a textural and structural analysis

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Saga Preis; [2023]
    Keywords : Tofu; faba bean; Vicia faba; texture; microstructure;

    Abstract : Tofu, a traditional soybean product, is a popular plant-based alternative which could potentially be produced from Swedish-grown faba beans (Vicia faba L.). The aim of this project was to asses the viability of producing a tofu-like faba bean product using food grade gypsum (calcium sulphate) as coagulant. READ MORE

  3. 37. Investigating the response of terrestrial evapotranspiration to droughts in Africa : A combined remote sensing and modeling approach

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Yang Foo; [2023]
    Keywords : earth observation; terrestrial evapotranspiration; drought; vegetation-climate interactions;

    Abstract : Climate change is posing a significant threat to terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, in part due to the more frequent occurrence of extreme climatic events such as droughts. While the importance of drought impacts on vegetation has been widely recognized, the time-dependent characteristics of drought-induced response remain insufficiently understood. READ MORE
