1. Formulation and characterisation of novel edible-packaging for fruits and vegetables
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
2. On-farm slaughter and emergency slaughter in Sweden : prerequisites for reducing food loss of pigs and cattle
Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : Although consumers are responsible for much food waste, recent studies have shown significant losses on farm-level. A recent report published by the Swedish Board of Agriculture presented that 3% and 8% of pigs and cattle are lost respectively, requesting further research regarding the potential in salvaging meat through on-farm slaughter (OFS) and on-farm emergency slaughter (OFES).

4. Predictive Regression Model Evaluation : Evaluating Predictive Machine Learning Models to Reduce Food Waste in the Dairy Industry
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Sammanfattning : Food waste in the food industry is often a result from the complex nature of food production. Uncertainty is always present as yields vary and as there is a chain of consumer demand from stores to producers. Food waste is a waste of both natural and economic resources affecting both the planet and the producer. LÄS MER
5. Assessment of the food losses and waste along the tomato and carrot value chain in Sweden: A value chain analysis approach
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : Assessing food losses and waste in the tomato and carrot value chain in Sweden is essential for achieving sustainable development. This study uses a mixed method to analyze the extent of food loss and waste along the tomato and carrot value chain and related causing factors. LÄS MER
