(PhD Thesis;2015:94, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-13)The main focus of this thesis was to use new methodology on already well-established methods of preparation of 3-membered, 4-membered and 5-membered carbocyclic compounds with the emphasis on improving them. Traditional ... -
Thermodynamic aspects of processive enzymatic degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides
(PhD Thesis;2015:46, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-13)Carbohydrates play diverse, essential roles in all known organisms. These include roles in storage and structure as well as specific signaling roles. One carbohydrate can be linked to other carbohydrates or functional ... -
Karakterisering og rensing av fusiformicin, et nytt bakteriosin med aktivitet mot S. pneumoniae
(Master thesis, 2020)Antibiotikaresistens regnes for å være et av de største, uløste problemene innen offentlig helsevesen over hele verden. S. pneumoniae er en viktig humanapatogen bakterie som raskt utvikler og sprer antibiotikaresistens. ... -
Quality changes in lamb/sheep and beef meat related to oxidative processes in muscle systems
(PhD Thesis;2015:77, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-10)The oxidative processes in meat post mortem maintain the formation of free radicals. Behavior of reactive oxygen species is closely related to the energy metabolism of the muscle cell, mitochondrial activity and efficiency ... -
Cheese intake and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and the metabolic syndrome : with particular reference to Gamalost intake and its effect on blood pressure
(PhD Thesis;2015:23, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-10)The papers included in this thesis are part of a larger project titled “Healthy Cheese” (SUNN OST), with an overall main objective to establish a platform to develop innovative and healthy cheese varieties with reduced fat ... -
Establishment of gut microbiota in infants from a large Norwegian cohort
(PhD Thesis;2015:76, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-10)Human gut microbiota, our so-called forgotten organ, is crucial for proper functioning of our body and for health maintenance. Although the topic of the gut microbiota establishment is very important, scientists still have ... -
Development of novel peptide-based antibiotics
(Master thesis, 2020)The discovery of antibiotics has drastically improved global health by curing previously untreatable infections. Due to persistent and prophylactic use of antibacterial drugs, both in humans, animals and agriculture, the ... -
Production and characterisation of native whey and native whey products
(PhD Thesis;2016:15, Doctoral thesis, 2020-10-27)When microfiltration is applied in order to casein-standardise cheese milk, native whey (skimmed milk microfiltration permeate) is generated. Native whey consists of minor serum components that are allowed to be transmitted ... -
