16. Food ingredients from cultivated seaweeds-Improving storage stability and protein recovery
Sammanfattning : There is a global demand for new vegetarian protein sources, and seaweed have for multiple reasons been identified as a promising candidate. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the potential of three different Swedish seaweed species as food protein sources, but also as sources of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.

17. Targeting nucleic acids in bacteria with synthetic ligands
Sammanfattning : There is a need for new antibacterial agents, and one attractive strategy is to develop nucleic acid ligands that inhibit pathogen genes selectively. Also, such ligands can be used as molecular biology probes to study gene function and nucleic acid structures. LÄS MER
18. Cardiovascular and metabolic control in obese children and adolescents
Sammanfattning : Childhood obesity is an emerging risk factor for disease and mortality worldwide. The cardiovascular consequences and prevention thereof need to be further investigated. Exercise and weight loss are well examined and effective in the prevention of cardiovascular risk, but warrant well motivated patients with strong social support. LÄS MER
19. Bioactive Carbohydrates in Vining Peas (Pisum sativum) - Variation in alpha-galactoside content and the colonic fermentation of sugar alcohols
Sammanfattning : The composition of the colonic microflora is essential for the health of the human host. To be able to survive, the microflora is dependent of a continuous supply of substrate. In this respect dietary fibre and other indigestible carbohydrates, of which the consumption in affluent societies is generally low, are of great importance. LÄS MER
20. Fractionation of lipids and protein from the microalga Nannochloropsis oculata
Sammanfattning : To feed Earth’s growing population, microalgae have been proposed as a source of protein and long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs). Currently, microalgae are mainly sold either as whole biomass, or the economically valuable LC n-3 PUFA fraction is extracted with organic solvents. LÄS MER
