  1. 1. The Production and Characteristics of an Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato Yogurt

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Författare :Ariam Kunfu; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Sweet potato; fermentation; Ghana; yogurt; L. bulgaricus; S. thermophilus; food technology and nutrition; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Yogurt is an ancient food, used for a better preservation of milk. Milk gets fermented by Streptococcus thermophilicus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (lactic acid bacteria, LAB) which converts the lactose present in the milk to lactic acid. These probiotics support the microbial population balance of the gastrointestinal tract. LÄS MER

  3. 2. A remote-sensing approach to studying drought resistance in Swedish old-growth and production forests

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Julika Wolf; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; drought impacts; old-growth forests; forest management; remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience hotter and drier summers due to climate change, leading to more frequently reduced soil water availability and an increased risk of droughts, as was already the case in Northern Europe during the severe summer drought of 2018. Prolonged water stress in forest ecosystems can lead to impacts ranging from reduced photosynthesis to forest dieback. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Biofortification of Cassava

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Författare :Linnea Almqvist; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Biofortification; GMO; CRISPR Cas9; Vitamin A; Cassava; CRISPR; Gene editing; Beta carotene; Genetic engineering; Applied biochemistry; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Cassava, Manihot esculenta, is the third most important staple crop in tropical re- gions. Cassava is a fibrous root that is tolerant to drought and has a flexible harvest period making it a reliable crop under poorer farming conditions (FAO, 2008). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Effects of the carotenoid inhibiting herbicide diflufenican on the photosynthesis of benthic algae

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Författare :Jelena Rakovic; [2014]
    Nyckelord :benthic algae; freshwater; herbicides; diflufenican; PAM; fluorescence; Lake Erken; photosynthetic efficiency;

    Sammanfattning : Throughout the world, the large-scale use of pesticides in agriculture is an area of concern due to known harmful effects on human and environmental health. Mixtures of different pesticides are found in lakes and streams, where their presence endangers aquatic organisms, like benthic algae, and the ecosystem services they provide. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Organically grown wheat: carotenoid content : health and socio-economic aspects under organic farming system

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of People and Society

    Författare :Fatemeh Yousefi; [2014]
    Nyckelord :organic wheat; genotypes; carotenoid content; organic farming; life cycle analysis; farmers perspective;

    Sammanfattning : In today’s world, there is more awareness than ever before about the relationship between food consumption and human health. This awareness is especially relevant for cereals, including wheat, which is one of the most important crops in terms of feeding the world. LÄS MER
