Mitochondrial oxygen consumption and myoglobin redox stability in beef
(PhD Thesis;2012:14, Doctoral thesis, 2012)Myoglobin is the main pigment in meat and exists in three predominant states; deoxymyoglobin (DMb), oxymyoglobin (OMb), and metmyoglobin (MMb). The different myoglobin states are dependent on the production of mitochondrial ... -
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 ... -
Microbial communities in biogas reactors and their link to stability and performance
(PhD Thesis;2016:60, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-24)The Anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic material gathers a great interest worldwide due to the global needs for waste recycling and renewable energy production. Biogas, the end product of an AD process, is a mixture of ... -
Diversity and functional aspects of cheese ripening bacteria
(PhD Thesis;2017:16, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Cheese traits can be seen in the context of metabolic activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their impact is important to obtain cheeses with specific characteristics. Accurate identification and characterisation of ... -
Quality of Norwegian goat milk for cheese production
(PhD Thesis;2016:19, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-19)Norwegian goat milk has faced a number of challenges related to the quality of the milk. These challenges have been particularly related to poor rennet coagulation properties and offflavours. The aim of the project "Quality ... -
Modulation of gut microbiota by pre/probiotics and the potential health promoting outcomes for the host
(PhD Thesis;2016:42, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-19)Gut microbiota is considered an organ that co-develops with the host throughout its life. The composition and metabolic activities of gut microbiota are subjected to a complex interplay of the host genetics and environmental ... -
Present health challenges in fresh and processed meat
(PhD Thesis;2016:28, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-13)Processed meat intake is claimed to involve a higher risk of colon cancer. In particular, sausage intake is high and therefore has a potential for influencing consumers’ health. In Norway, sausage consumption has been ... -
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 ... -
Syntheses of 3-, 4- and 5-membered carbocycles : new methodology on old methods
(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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Physiological features of aging in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
(PhD Thesis;2019:52, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Aging and a decline in physiological resilience occur in most living organisms, including honey bee workers. Aging research in different organisms—from yeast, worms, insects, and mice to humans—has investigated several ... -
