  1. 6. The development of novel foods from Swedish pulses : Raw material composition and processing effects

    Författare :Ferawati Ferawati; Cornelia M. Witthöft; Susanna Kariluoto; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; legumes; pulse flour; functional properties; dietary fibre; folate; volatile compounds; cheese analogue; protein isolate; high-moisture extrusion; meat analogue.; Livsmedelsvetenskap; Food Science;

    Sammanfattning : A gradual shift towards a healthier and more sustainable diet with a higher quantity of plant-based products is suggested to be one of the most efficient ways to alleviate environmental pressure from the current food system. Pulses could play a crucial role in this shift due to the multi-faceted benefits they have on the environment and human health. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Dietary fat as an exposure in epidemiological studies. Observations in the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort

    Författare :Iréne Mattisson; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Absolute fat; cohort study; confounders; energy-adjustment; fibre; food groups; plant food; prospective study; relative fat; underreporting; Public health; Näringslära; epidemiology; breast cancer; Folkhälsa; epidemiologi; Nutrition;

    Sammanfattning : The aim was to explore the inherent meaning of total fat and to examine the associations between relative fat intake and postmenopausal breast cancer. Furthermore, the impacts of the alterations in dietary assessment routines are discussed. This thesis uses data from the Malmö Diet and Cancer study, a prospective cohort study. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Wild vegetables and micronutrient nutrition : Studies on the significance of wild vegetables in women's diets in Vietnam

    Författare :Britta M. Ogle; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Edible wild plants; gathered vegetables; Vietnam; micronutrients; rapid appraisal; dietary assessment; nutrition status; chemical analysis; food diversity; folate; medicinal foods; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Nutrition; näringslära;

    Sammanfattning : The principal aim has been to investigate the contemporary role and importance of edible wild plants in the diets of women in different agro-ecological regions of Vietnam. Field studies were undertaken in four villages in the Mekong Delta (MD) and the Central Highlands (CH) in 1995-1999. LÄS MER

  5. 9. On yeasts from traditional fermented foods - Characterization, phytate degradation, strain improvement and applications

    Författare :Linnea Qvirist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phytase; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Phytate; Pichia kudriavzevii; Phenotypic Characterization; Goat Milk; Food Fermentation; Kluyveromyces marxianus; Yaghnob Valley;

    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

  7. 10. Food choice in fallow deer – experimental studies of selectivity

    Författare :Ulrika Alm Bergvall; Olof Leimar; Frederick D. Provenza; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; behavioural syndrome; neighbour contrast defence; neighbour contrast susceptibility; simultaneous negative contrast; plant secondary compounds; tannins; Ethology and behavioural ecology; Etologi och beteendeekologi; etologi; Ethology;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I experimentally investigate feeding selectivity in fallow deer (Dama dama), with respect to plant secondary compounds, especially tannins, which can decrease the quality of foods. I found that fallow deer avoided foods with higher amounts of tannic acid and Quebracho tannin, even though the deer ate some high-tannin food. LÄS MER
