Synthesis of some marine natural product fatty acid derivatives
(PhD Thesis;2016:74, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-24)The research presented in this thesis puts forth total syntheses of two marine natural products: (-)-mucosin and (+)-crucigasterin 277. Both syntheses focus on producing enantiopure natural products derived from commercially ... -
Tailoring microalgal biomass for food applications : fermented beverage as a case study
(PhD Thesis;2022:19, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Microalgae are renowned as super-foods due to their unique nutritional profiles; however, their applications to human nutrition are still limited to nutraceuticals and food supplements. This is likely due to factors such ... -
Taste sensitivity and food liking in preadolescent children
(PhD Thesis;2021:83, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Taste is a key factor in determining food palatability and affects food acceptance. Children have been reported to have different taste sensitivity perceptions, which may influence their food preferences. The main objective ... -
The first stereoselective syntheses of (all-Z)- hentriaconta-3,6,9,12,15,19,22,25,28-nonaene and obscuraminol A, two polyunsaturated natural products
(PhD Thesis;2015:75, Doctoral thesis, 2018-12-19)The research described herein focuses on stereoselective synthesis of some Z-polyenoic natural products, making them available for biological studies. The objectives of the study can be subdivided into three parts integrated ... -
The Soil Bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus Bath and its Interactions with Human Immune Cells in vitro
(PhD Thesis;2017:94, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Whereas a role for commensal microbes in the development and normal function of the immune system is well established, a potential role for environmental bacteria in regulating immunity has been widely disregarded. However, ... -
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 ... -
Total synthesis as a tool for structural elucidation of some marine lipid natural products
(PhD Thesis;2017:32, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Paper I describes the total synthesis of the proposed structure of mucosin, a C20 fatty acid, isolated from a Mediterranean sponge, Reniera mucosa. The synthetic pathway started with the transformation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene ... -
Understanding and optimizing the role of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases in enzymatic conversion of lignocellulosic biomass
(PhD Thesis;2022:31, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Lignocellulosic biomass holds great potential for production of biofuels and other chemicals traditionally produced from fossil fuels. However, its significant recalcitrance presents a substantial challenge in industrial ... -
Utilization of dried roselle calyces extract in fruit juice processing
(PhD Thesis;2014:31, Doctoral thesis, 2014)There has been an increased consumption of fruit juice as consumers have become aware of the nutritional and health benefits of fruit juices. This increased consumption goes together with the growth of varieties of fruit ...
