1. 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
2. Content and In Vitro Accessibility of Provitamin. A Carotenoids in Some Tanzanian Vegetables and Fruits Effects of Traditional Processing and Preparation, and Influence on Vitamin A Status
Sammanfattning : Vitamin A deficiency is among the major nutritional problems in Tanzania as in many developing countries. It mainly affects children and pregnant and lactating women. The basic cause of this problem is related to the diet, which contains little preformed vitamin A and plant foods with a low content and bioavailability of provitamin A carotenoids. LÄS MER
3. Lipid Composition and Deterioration in Light and Dark Muscle of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Sammanfattning : Nutritionally valuable lipids, including lipid classes and their fatty acids in light and dark muscle, have been determined and analyzed in farmed rainbow trout. Dark muscle was found to have a higher content of total lipids than light muscle, 7.3 wt% versus 3.0 wt%, which was mostly accounted for by neutral lipids, especially triacylglycerols. LÄS MER
4. Anti-cancer effects of bioactive compounds from rose hip fruit in human breast cancer cell lines : carotenoids, triterpenes, and ascorbate evaluated singly or in combination
Sammanfattning : Rose hips have long been used in human diets as a food ingredient and supplement. Their multiple medical properties, which have been attributed to their abundant carotenoid composition, have attracted widespread scientific attention. This thesis examined the carotenoid composition in rose hips from five rose species. LÄS MER
5. Transcriptome profiling and gene editing for biofortification of cassava
