11. Compositional analysis of the Andean fruit Pouteria Lucuma : a comparison of different physical forms (powder, frozen pulp and fresh pulp)
Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : Lucuma (Pouteria Lucuma), an ancient fruit from the Andes, is now increasing in popularity in the global West due to the characteristic flavour and nutritional composition (e.g. high in fibres and phenolic compounds). The shelf life of the fresh fruit is short, therefore it is mainly used as frozen pulp or powder. LÄS MER
12. Characterization and modeling of hydrology and climatology in paramo ecosystems in Colombia : A study of the paramos and climate change impact on these ecosystems as a water resource
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraSammanfattning : Paramos are unique ecosystems situated in the tropical Andes at an elevation of 2800-4800 meters above sea level.
