1. 11. Formation of carboxylic acids in rats and humans given indigestible carbohydrates Effects of monomeric composition, solubility, molecular weight and probiotics

   Författare :Ulf Nilsson; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Carboxylic acids; Short-chain fatty acids; Fructo-oligosaccharides; Prebiotics; Probiotics; Näringslära; Nutrition;

   Sammanfattning : There is increasing evidence that fermentation in the large intestine is important for health, and that health-promoting effects are mediated by fermentation products such as butyric and propionic acid. As the formation of carboxylic acids (CAs) from various carbohydrates reaching the colon has been shown to vary, it is of great interest to identify food factors that could be of importance to this process.

3. 12. Shedding light on glycosylation : Analysis of complex carbohydrates using an affinity biosensor

   Författare :Mathias Liljeblad; Bengt Danielsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : The main objective during the work described in this thesis has been to develop assays for stodies of complex carbohydrates in a clinical context. Complex carbohydrates, such as free or protein linked oligosaccharides, have been shown to have important biological functions. LÄS MER

4. 13. Bioactive Carbohydrates in Vining Peas (Pisum sativum) - Variation in alpha-galactoside content and the colonic fermentation of sugar alcohols

   Författare :Jimmy Ekvall; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alpha-galactosides; raffinose family oligosaccharides; Näringslära; Nutrition; short-chain fatty acids; colonic fermentation; myo-inositol; sorbitol; xylitol; sugar alcohols; blanching; maturity; cultivar; Pisum sativum;

   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

5. 14. Potential of Canavalia gladiata as a food ingredient: Nutritional and Functional aspects

   Författare :Sagarika Ekanayake; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Canavalia gladiata; Sword beans; Nutritional quality; Functional properties; Näringslära; Nutrition;

   Sammanfattning : The tender fruits of the leguminous plant Canavalia gladiata (Sinhala awara, sword beans) are consumed in Sri Lanka as a green vegetable. The mature seeds are also utilized in a variety of ways but not very frequently, in spite of desirable agronomical properties, for cultivation in the country. LÄS MER

7. 15. Nutritional and physicochemical characterisation of dietary fibre in wheat fractions

   Författare :Lina Haskå; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dietary fibre; fructan; arabinoxylan; wheat; distillers grains; short-chain fatty acids; microbiota;

   Sammanfattning : Dietary fibre is fermented in the colon to short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), of which especially butyric and propionic acid may have health-promoting effects. One source of dietary fibre may be by-products from wheat, which are currently used as animal feed. LÄS MER
