    Keywords : High-­Resolution Mapping; Carbon-­Free Heat Sources; 4th Generation District Heating; GIS; Hög­upplöst kartläggning; Koldoixidfria värmekällor; 4e generationen Fjärrvärme; GIS;

    Abstract : Heat production together with electricity production stands for 31% of the global CO2 emissions. The production is as of today still highly dependent on fossil fuels, with a global district energy mix share of fossil fuels of 90%. READ MORE

  3. 2. Homogenization of tomato and apricot juice concentrate and a sensory analysis of its effect

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

    Author : Ulrich Hermann Koppmaier; [2018]
    Keywords : Homogenization; Fruit juice; Fruit juice concentrate; Tomato; Apricot; sensory analysis; food engineering; livsmedelsteknik; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : Juice homogenization is mostly done to create smaller fiber particles, which reduces the sedimentation velocity to a lower level. So far, fruit juice concentrate is diluted to juice before it is homogenized. READ MORE
