Alternativ stabilisator for plantebasert burger
Johannessen, Nina Brustad (Master thesis, 2021)Globalt marked for plantebasert protein er stadig voksende, med årlig vekst rundt 7%. Samtidig blir forbrukerne mer opptatt av hva de kjøper og inntar. Forbrukernes økte bevissthet skaper behov for å benytte ingredienser ... -
Carbohydrate utilization and short chain fatty acid production in Bifidobacteria
Mielnicka, Kasia (Master thesis, 2019)In the first stage of life infants go through rapid growth and development and have high nutritional needs. During this first 6 months of life breast milk is considered to provide a complete postnatal nutrition. Positive ... -
Characterization of yeast exopolysaccharides
Sebjørnsen, Cathrine Nilsen (Master thesis, 2019)In this thesis a method for quantification of the exopolysaccharides (EPS) of the yeast cell wall (YCW) has been under development. Such a method will be of interest for the research on the use of yeast in aquafeed to take ... -
Dewatering of digested biomass
Svennevik, Oda Marie Kjørlaug (PhD Thesis;2019:36, Doctoral thesis, 2019)The world’s population is increasing and as cities grow in population and area, efficient and safe handling of sewage is becoming increasingly important. Wastewater treatment generates two products; purified water and ... -
Exploring acetylated galactoglucomannan as a source of prebiotics
Michalak, Leszek (Doctoral thesis, 2018)The wood and paper industry in Norway and worldwide suffers from low demand and low prices. Developing consolidated biorefinery solutions to generate higher value products from woody biomass could be a viable alternative ... -
Fermentation and downstream processing of yeast for production of single-cell proteins and exopolysaccharides
Brusletten, Mari (Master thesis, 2019)Yeasts are known to be sources of highly quality proteins and exopolysaccharides (EPS). The main goal in this study was to produce and process yeasts of biotechnological interest to investigate whether these species can ... -
Forsøk på syntese av noen fenoliske glykosider
Løndal, Kristian Molvær (Master thesis, 2020)Det er påvist at noen glykosylerte fenoler har prebiotiske effekter. I denne oppgaven ble syntese av 4-formyl-2-metoksifenyl-D-glukopyranosid fra D-glukose og vanillin forsøkt utført ved fem ulike lineære synteseveier. ... -
Gene cloning, purification and characterization of novel hemicellulases for production of tailor made prebiotics and biochemicals
Lindstad, Lars Jordhøy (Master thesis, 2019)The human gut contains billions of microbes which play a key role in human health. They provide us with important short-chain fatty acids, like butyrate, through the fermentation of dietary fibers. A disruption in the gut ... -
Modern sour beer production : mixed fermentations with yeast and lactic acid bacteria
Dysvik, Anna (PhD Thesis;2019:104, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Traditional sour beers are produced by spontaneous, mixed fermentations where numerous yeast and bacterial species are involved. One of the traits that separate sour beers from other beers is the high concentration of ... -
Optimalisering av enzymatisk proteinhydrolyse av restråstoff fra atlantisk torsk (Gadus morhua)
Hovig, Frida Wilberg (Master thesis, 2021)Enzymatisk proteinhydrolyse (EPH) er en mye brukt og godt kjent metode for å produsere bærekraftige proteinrike produkter fra restråstoff fra matindustrien. Dagens metoder for EPH baserer seg hovedsakelig på bruk av en ... -
Surface display of cellobiose 2- epimerases on lactic acid bacteria for conversion of lactose to epilactose
Larsen, Martin (Master thesis, 2021)An increasing body of research elicits the many health benefits imparted by the gut-associated microbiota to their host. These beneficial strains are referred to as probiotic organisms. One way to promote growth and increase ... -
