1. Fatty acid composition in salmonid eggs : a comparative study of Atlantic salmon and brown trout
Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : Atlantic salmon (AS) and brown trout (BT) are part of the salmonid family and are some of the most popular fish species in Western culture. Due to their popularity, there is incentive to understand the varying factors which ensures species survival. LÄS MER
2. Is omega-3 from algae a good substitute to fish oil – in human nutrition?
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
3. Microalgae – The new green? : biochemical composition, cultivation and extraction methods
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : Microalgae are a promising source of high value compounds for the food industry with both nutritional and health-beneficial qualities with potential to meet the dietary demand of the growing population. Microalgae are highly adaptive towards environmental stresses which is used as important tool for manipulation of the biomass for enhancement of metabolites. LÄS MER
4. Pelagic fish oil : methods for extraction and purification
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : The Pelagic fishes are a wide group of fishes that live in the open water. They could be divided in two groups depending on the size, the small forage fishes and the large predators. These fishes swim regularly and have muscles with high lipid content. There are two types of muscles in the fish. LÄS MER
5. Life cycle assessment of DHA produced by microalgae using food waste : Assessing global warming, fossil energy use and effects on biodiversity
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : Biodiversity is a key component for life on Earth since it contributes to clean water, fresh air and food security. Today, fatty fish farmed in aquaculture is the main Omega 3 source consumed by humans, including the essential fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA origin from plants and accumulate in fish via the marine food web. LÄS MER
