21. Novel uses of bio-polymers in composites : from chemistry to processing of materials and food
Sammanfattning : Plant bio-polymers obtained as industrial side-streams (wheat gluten and potato proteins) and specifically designed potato starch and hemp fibres were used to produce composite materials. Fractionated pea protein and pea dietary fibres were used to make pasta-like sheets for production of healthy food. LÄS MER
22. Antioxidants in Bolivian Plant Foods. Antioxidant Capacity, Flavonoids and other Phenolic Compounds
Sammanfattning : The total antioxidant capacity was measured and the major phenolic and flavonoid compounds were identified and quantified in a selection of Bolivian crops growing at different altitudes above seal level (a.s.l.). LÄS MER
23. Structuring plant cell materials using pre-treatments. Effects on texture and carotenoid accessibility
Sammanfattning : A high consumption of fruits and vegetables is considered beneficial and to support good health. To promote higher fruit and vegetable intake, attractive and nutritious fruit- and vegetable-based ready-to-eat products should be available on the market. A key property of an attractive food product is a palatable texture. LÄS MER
24. Nutritional Assessment in a Rural Area of Bolivia. A Study of Zinc and Iron Deficiencies and Bioavailability
Sammanfattning : While originally, protein-energy deficiency was considered the main factor of malnutrition, it is now understood that micronutrient deficiencies play a fundamental role in a variety of health and disease outcomes. Zinc and iron deficiencies are still highly prevalent in low-income countries, whereas insufficient intakes and diets with low mineral absorption are the major causes. LÄS MER
25. Supply and value chain analyses of warqe food products in relation to post-harvest losses
Sammanfattning : Post-harvest losses are a global problem and are of critical importance in food-insecure countries such as Ethiopia. Losses of root and tuber crops are known to be high in developing countries, where many of the population are dependent on these crops. Warqe (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a staple crop in Ethiopia. LÄS MER
