  1. 1. Winter wheat exudates : Improving wheats resilience to drought

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Freja Haverland; [2024]
    Keywords : drought; PGPR; exudates; agriculture; food security;

    Abstract : Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a crop that dominates the diets of about 35% of the world's human population. But wheat yields can be severely affected by drought. Therefore, in this experiment, root exudation of winter wheat was compared to find out how exudation changes during drought stress. READ MORE

  3. 2. Mildly nutritious or mild and nutritious : a study on the effect of low phenolic content in wheat and rye kernels and its sensory effect on whole grain breads

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Julia Kullberg; [2023]
    Keywords : White rye; white wheat; low phenolic flour;

    Abstract : Recent studies on the dietary habits of the Swedish population show that only 30% reaches the recommended levels of dietary fibres. As a high fiber intake is associated with health benefits and a decrease in the risk of developing lifestyle disease, there may be a need for new types of fibre and wholegrain products. READ MORE

  4. 3. EFFECT OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING MIXTURES AND CHEMICALS ON THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATE OF ZEBRAFISH LARVAE

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Lieke van Iersel; [2022-08-08]
    Keywords : oxygen consumption; zebrafish larvae; respirometry; endocrine disrupting chemicals; mixture toxicity;

    Abstract : Chemicals affecting the endocrine system, so called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s), have been steadily increasing in the environment over the last 40 years. EDCs are harmful chemicals since they can act through multiple endocrine pathways, contain a wide spectrum of health effects that can be very persistent and can cause effects already at a low doses.

  5. 4. Catalytic synthesis of benign bisphenols

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Victoria Chu; Emma Lundqvist; Hampus Hagelin; [2022]
    Keywords : Bisphenols; Vanillyl alcohol; Friedel-Crafts alkylation; Lewis acid catalysis; Sustainability; Bisfenoler; Vanillylalkohol; Friedel-Crafts alkylering; Lewissyra-katalys; Hållbarhet;

    Abstract : This study analyzes the reactivity and selectivity of Friedel-Crafts alkylations using benzylic alcohols and phenols in the presence of a Lewis acid, to synthesize methoxylated bisphenols as a benign alternative to BPA. The degree of methoxylation on the electrophile appears to affect the yield of the reaction while the degree of methoxylation on the nucleophile appears to affect the selectivity. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
