1. 1. An evaluation study of 3D imaging technology as a tool to estimate body weight and growth in dairy heifers

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

   Author : Emelie Ahlberg; [2024]
   Keywords : body measurement; body weight; growth; heifer; three-dimensional imaging; young stock management;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the use of a 3D camera as a tool to estimate body weight and growth in dairy heifers. Data collection lasted from October 2022 to January 2023 and was performed at the Swedish Livestock Research Centre in Uppsala, Sweden. READ MORE

3. 2. Exploring alternative surfactants to replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles

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

   Author : Elina Edidovica; [2024]
   Keywords : Lipid nanoparticle; polyethelyne glycol PEG ; alpha-tomatine; N-hexadecyl beta d-maltoside HDM ; DOPC; DPPC; cholesterol; film hydration; stability study; DLS; Cryo-TEM; SAXS; pharmaceutical formulation; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Over the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. READ MORE

4. 3. Developing a protocol for 3D-printable bioink from decellularised porcine tissue

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

   Author : Vendela Sandin; [2024]
   Keywords : Scaffold; Extracellular matrix; ECM; Bioink; Bioprinting; Collagen; Pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : T-cell administration via a scaffold is a promising tool for treatment of inoperable solid tumours. Traditional scaffold materials lack the complexity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that cells normally grow in. An alternative is to instead use decellularised ECM (dECM) from biological tissue to create the scaffold. READ MORE

5. 4. Comparison of properties on Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) produced by direct compression or fluid bed granulation

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

   Author : Julia Ahlbom; [2023]
   Keywords : Orally disintegrating tablet; fluid bed granulation; disintegration time; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is a popular drug delivery system as they dissolve in the mouth, usually within seconds which enables easy medication for patients with problem swallowing. In this thesis properties of ODTs were compared when produced with direct compression of the excipients or the excipients were pretreated to form granules in a fluid bed granulator prior to tableting.

6. 5. Formulation and characterisation of novel edible-packaging for fruits and vegetables

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

   Author : Lola Sutton; Katerina Papa; [2023]
   Keywords : algae; edible packaging; carrageenan; cucumber; REL; oxidative stress; antioxidants; food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This master's thesis investigated the potential of algae raw materials, specifically k-carrageenan and to a lesser extent alginate, as film-forming ingredients for the development of a novel edible packaging solutions. The project involved the testing and characterisation of several active ingredients of algal and plant origins both as extracts and as ingredients in films. READ MORE
