Quality changes in lamb/sheep and beef meat with emphasis on its colour and flavour
(Doctoral thesis, 2018)The term known as meat quality is related to complex biochemical processes and changes that occur in the animal tissue before and after slaughtering. From an analytical point of view, the more factors describing meat quality ... -
Applied and fundamental perspectives on brown-rot decay mechanisms
(PhD Thesis;2019:14, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Woody biomass is an important material for the growing bioeconomy, and has gained significant attention as a feedstock for second-generation biorefineries. Wood has traditionally been used as a building material for ... -
Protein fractionation by microfiltration in high-protein yogurt processing
(PhD Thesis;2017:58, Doctoral thesis, 2017)The main objective of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate the optimization of the microfiltration (MF) process in the production of high-protein yogurts (≥ 5.6% protein). High-protein yogurts have gained ... -
Better understanding of the relation of the dynamic sensory perception of solid and semi solid foods with consumers’ preferences and their perception of satiety
(PhD Thesis;2019:5, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Nowadays, overweight and obesity has been recognized as one of the main reasons that leads to many non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and in some cases cancer. Therefore, ... -
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 ... -
Improving food waste anaerobic digestion : effects of digestate recirculation, post-treatment and methane-methane serial digestion
(PhD Thesis;2018:53, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Anaerobic digestion of food waste generates two valuable products: digestate and biogas. Today, most food waste in Norway is incinerated because it is collected as mixed waste. Hence, a shift from incineration to anaerobic ... -
Production of microbial protein from brown seaweed and spruce wood and its use as a novel feed ingredient in aquaculture
(PhD Thesis;2018:46;, Doctoral thesis, 2018)With the world’s rapidly expanding population, it is necessary to provide sustainable and nutritious food. Aquaculture is the world’s fastest growing food production sector and carries with it some major tradeoffs and ... -
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, ... -
Structural and functional characterization of NcLPMO9C : a broad-specificity lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase
(PhD Thesis;2017:93, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Lignocellulose represents a major source of renewable organic matter and is of interest as feedstock for the biorefining industry, not only as a promising strategy for replacing fossil fuels in the transportation sector ... -
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 ... -
Impact of milk protein genotypes on milk coagulation properties
(PhD Thesis;2017:74, Doctoral thesis, 2017-08-21)Evaluation of the milk coagulation properties is very important for the dairy industry, because it gives information on the processability of milk for both cheese and yoghurt/cultured milk. Milk that takes a shorter time ... -
Microbial denitrification control in acid and neutral soils with implications for greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric chemistry
(PhD Thesis;2017:51, Doctoral thesis, 2017)As with the ancient philosophy of ex nihilo, nihil fit (out of nothing, nothing is produced: nothing comes from nothing), the law of the conservation of mass dictates that no atoms in a chemical reaction may be created or ... -
Characterization of the infant gut microbiota mobilome
(PhD thesis;2017:37, Doctoral thesis, 2017)The human gut is densely populated with a wide diversity of bacteria. These bacteria can serve as a reservoirs for multiple Antibiotic Resistance (AR) genes that in turn are associated with wide range of Mobile Genetic ... -
