1. Cereal- and Microbial Phytases. Phytate Degradation, Mineral Binding and Absorption
Sammanfattning : Cereal foods contain large amounts of phytate (myo-inositol hexaphosphate; IP6), which is the major storage form of phosphorus, in the plant. IP6 possesses a high potential for chelating minerals, such as Fe 2+, Zn2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+. LÄS MER
2. Pea-Protein Products for Food Applications Methods for Improving Iron and Zinc Availability
Sammanfattning : The thesis deals with some aspects of and possibilities for the production of pea protein with improved nutritional and physiological qualities. The improved pea protein can be used as a beneficial alternative to soya protein in food applications, such as infant formula. LÄS MER
3. On yeasts from traditional fermented foods - Characterization, phytate degradation, strain improvement and applications
Sammanfattning : Plant materials naturally contain minerals of iron, zinc and calcium. However, plants also contain a compound called phytic acid, which can chelate the minerals and form insoluble complexes. Minerals from plant foods are unavailable for intestinal uptake when they are bound in phytate complexes. LÄS MER
4. Factors Influencing Phytate Degradation in Piglets. Feed phytate behaviour and degradation by microbial phytases
Sammanfattning : Phytate, the main storage form of phosphorus (P) in plant feedstuffs, is indigestible for monogastric animals, and phytases are therefore used as feed additives to increase the digestibility of phytate-P and limit the inclusion of inorganic P. However, new and improved phytases are needed to obtain better phytate digestibility and allow for lower inclusions of inorganic P. LÄS MER
5. Yeast biotechnology for nutritional improvements of fermented cereal-based foods - Phytate degradation and folate production
Sammanfattning : Anaemia is a serious public health problem in nearly all developing countries. It has negative consequences on cognitive and physical development of children, reduces work capacity in adults, and increases the risk of maternal and child mortality. LÄS MER
