  1. 6. Is omega-3 from algae a good substitute to fish oil – in human nutrition?

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Maria Pia Karlsson Rattenni; [2022]
    Keywords : omega-3; EPA; DHA; algae oil; fish oil; fish oil substitute; PUFA; LC-PUFA; human nutrition; health benefits; algae as n-3 source;

    Abstract : Polyunsaturated fatty acids have been proven to be important for human health, especially the omega 3 and 6. Humans cannot synthesise these fatty acids by themselves and need therefore to get them from external sources. Omega-6 is found in many different foods, such as flaxseeds, walnuts, and vegetable oils. READ MORE

  3. 7. Lipid content and profile of Rhodotorula toruloides during fermentation

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Khairul Kibria; [2021]
    Keywords : Rhodotorula toruloides; fatty acids; lipid class; triglycerides; phospholipid; gas chromatography;

    Abstract : Oleaginous yeast such as Rhodotorula toruloides is a promising organism for production of lipids from lignocellulosic substrates. Microbial lipids have potential applications in energy, food, feed and pharmaceutical industry, because most of the lipids are triglycerides with long chain fatty acids that are comparable to typical vegetable oils and can be obtained without arable land requirement.

  4. 8. Comparing radar satellites. Use of Sentinel-1 leads to an increase in oil spill alerts in Norwegian waters

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ove Njøten; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Satellite; Radar; Oil spill; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Radar’s ability to detect oil spills through clouds, fog, and darkness is a significant advantage. Oil spill alert services using radar satellites have been in use in Norway for more than 25 years. After introducing two radar satellites Sentinel-1A and 1B in 2015-2016, the number of oil spill alerts has increased by 250% in Norwegian waters. READ MORE

    Keywords : Microalgae; macroalgae; lubricant; alginate; grease; Mikroalger; makroalger; smörjmedel; alginat; förtjockningsmedel;

    Abstract : Smörjmedel är en nödvändighet för maskiner för att minska slitage och energiförbrukning. Dock är över 95% av de använda smörjmedlen i dag fossilbaserade. Smörjmedel baserade på vegetabiliska oljor finns tillgängliga men har ofta en lägre oxidativ stabilitet och sämre lågtemperaturegenskaper än deras fossilbaserade motsvarigheter. READ MORE
