(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 ... -
Cheese-making efficiency affected by protein source in concentrate feed for dairy cows and their αS1-κ-casein genotypes
(PhD Thesis;2023:32, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Evaluation of cheese-making efficiency is important for the dairy industry for profitability and sustainability reasons. Milk with a beneficial composition that favours good coagulation properties and a higher cheese yield ... -
Class II bacteriocins : target recognition, resistance and immunity
(PhD Thesis;2011:11, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Bacteriocins are bacterial antimicrobial peptides which are active against strains often closely related to the producer. Bacteriocins produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria are considered promising for applications ... -
Computational challenges in family genetics
(PhD Thesis;2015:36, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-13)There is a constant demand to determine the most probable relationship between a set of person given some genetic marker data and some hypotheses about pedigree structure. A constant stream of paternity cases is obtained ... -
Consumer perception and acceptance of calorie-reduced dairy products
(PhD Thesis;2010:03, Doctoral thesis, 2010)This thesis is a part of the research project ‘‘Low energy products and consumer preferences”, financed by the Research Council of Norway (NFR) through Grant 167928/I10. The thesis is based on three experiments. Consumers’ ... -
Control of cheese quality – strategies and methods for delivery of consistent sensory product quality at the point of consumption
(PhD Thesis;2011:68, Doctoral thesis, 2011)An effective approach to quality control is an important issue for a food producer, as consumers expect consistent delivery of products. Two important strategies for control of food product end quality was discussed in ... -
Cordia africana (Lam.) fruit and its uses
(PhD Thesis;2014:2, Doctoral thesis, 2016-11-24)There are several underutilised and neglected species used as food in the world. These food sources are under threat of disappearing and their knowledge base being forgotten. One such plant is the Cordia africana. Though ... -
Degradation of proteinaceous material, ammonium accumulation and microbial dynamics in anaerobic digesters
(PhD Thesis;2017:83, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic material from Norwegian farms can contribute to the agricultural value chain. Agricultural waste, including animal manure, is in large supply in Norway and AD of these fractions can ... -
Development of Liquid Array Diagnostic (LAD) technology for prediction of human gut microbiota composition and functionality
(PhD Thesis;2022:13, Doctoral thesis, 2022)The microbial species residing in the human gut exercise vital functions for the host. They produce different metabolites that are crucial for human wellbeing. A variety of such molecules mediate signalling along the ... -
Dewatering of digested biomass
(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 ... -
Dietary influence on intestinal microbiota and immune responses in mice : roles of high-fat diet and reactive oxygen species (ROS)
