1. 1. Fermentation and germination of pearl millet and cowpea : a review of nutritional quality, antinutritionalcompounds and functional properties

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Stina Gustavsson; Sofia Jacobsson; [2020]
   Keywords : pearl millet; cowpea; fermentation; germination; chemical composition; antinutritional compounds; functional properties;

   Abstract : Undernutrition is responsible for 45% of deaths of children under the age of 5 in low- and middle-income countries, where pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is one of the staple cereals. Despite of pearl millets favorable chemical composition, challenges still lie in the utilization of them due to the presence of antinutritional compounds (ANCs). READ MORE

3. 2. Development of a bean beverage - the effect of different treatments on sensory properties and nutritional content

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

   Author : Louise Beckius; Klara Schaar; [2016]
   Keywords : food technology; livsmedelsteknologi; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This master thesis aimed at exploring different methods of producing a beverage based on Lantmännen’s Swedish grown white beans. A flour was milled from beans that had been soaked and boiled in order to inactivate antinutrients such as lectins, trypsin inhibitors and phytic acid, and subsequently dried and milled. READ MORE

4. 3. Role of WRKY20 transcription factor and raffinose in plant defense responses upon Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain 5113-mediated priming in Arabidopsis thaliana

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

   Author : Jonas Kjellin; [2012]
   Keywords : Priming; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; WRKY20; raffinose; salicylic acid; jasmonic acid; isoamylase;

   Abstract : Biocontrol through beneficial bacteria-mediated priming can promote plant growth and increase resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain 5113 has been identified as a promising candidate for priming by increasing stress resistance and promoting growth in oil seed rape (Brassica napus). READ MORE

5. 4. Carbohydrate storage in buds of Kerner,Solaris, Regent and Rondo grapevines

   University essay from SLU/Horticulture (until 121231)

   Author : Carin Emanuelsson; [2009]
   Keywords : Vitis vinifera; sucrose; glucose; fructose; raffinose; stachyose; cold hardiness; HPLC; buds; grapevines;

   Abstract : The purpose of this study was; to compare sugar content and composition in buds of four inSweden commercially grown grapevine cultivars (‘Kerner’, ‘Regent’, ‘Rondo’ and ‘Solaris’),at three different vineyards in Scania and try to investigate the relationship between sugarcontent and cold hardiness. The concentration of fructose, glucose, sucrose, raffinose andstachyose was determined in the lower positioned buds, 2-8 and upper positioned buds, 9-14of the grapevine shoots with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
