2. Fermentation of quinoa, canihua and amaranth to degrade phytate and improve mineral bioavailability
Sammanfattning : Plant-based diets are the main source of nutrients for vegetarians worldwide and for low-income inhabitants of developing countries, such as in rural areas of Bolivia. These diets may contain high levels of mineral inhibitors such as phytate that impairs mineral absorption in the human gut. LÄS MER
3. Bringing home animals : Final-stage Jomon and Okhotsk Culture food technologies

The Late Holocene period of this region is very dynamic, and characterised by numerous migrations and cultural replacements. LÄS MER
4. Analysing the carbon footprint of food : insights for consumer communication
Sammanfattning : In Europe, food consumption is responsible for approximately 30% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There has been huge interest in estimating the carbon footprint (CF) of food products, i.e. the total amount of GHG emitted during the life cycle of the product, and communicating these to consumers to enable them to make informed choices.

5. Virus inactivation - evaluation of treatment processes for food and biowaste
Sammanfattning : Animal by-products and manure contain valuable plant nutrients that could be recycled onto arable land, as fertiliser. If these materials contain pathogenic microorganisms, such as viruses, transmission to domestic animals, wildlife and the food chain could occur. LÄS MER
