As global food systems are currently presenting great challenges to our environment and our health, diverse new (sustainable) foods and possibilities to integrate these into consumers’ everyday diets are extensively studied. Due to industrialized, standardized food production, approaches from disciplines such as sensory science and consumer psychology play an important role in new product developm
Background: In April 2002, the Swedish National Food Administration and a scientific group at the University of Stockholm jointly announced that they had shown acrylamide to be formed during the preparation of food and found it to occur in many foodstuffs. These new findings were clearly of concern to many types of industrial food processing as well as to home cooking. The Swedish Food Federation
Most types of materials and components use heating during the manufacturing process, with a large potential for cost and energy savings. Induction heating is the most energy efficient industrial heating technology for many applications, but so far technical limitations has delayed large scale introduction. The difficulties relate to heating of large flat and curved surfaces, and, perhaps most impo

As the world is changing rapidly in many ways, competition is getting increasingly fierce amongst manufacturing firms. As such, it has become more and more important for companies to properly understand the needs of their customers in order to provide enough value to be sufficiently competitive. Providing delivery and installation services which might’ve been viewed as necessary evils before have
Modulation of the gut microbiota with prebiotic oligosaccharides from partially hydrolyzed xylans can be part of the solution for reducing the occurrence of many health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that selectively stimulate health beneficial bacteria in the colon, restoring homeostasis to the gut environment. Xylans are hemicelluloses
The Cone Calorimeter test method has been for years one of the most used small-scale fire test methods. It is certainly one of the methods which is most widely spread over the world at this moment. In contrast to many other fire test methods, the Cone Calorimeter provides a range of data with sound scientific basis, which allows a wide range of applications. In this article five different areas of
Museum Stobaeanum Explore the collections of Museum Stobaeanum – the first public museum in Lund, established in the early 18th century, with roots in the cabinet of curiosities of Kilian Stobaeus (1690–1742), professor in natural philosophy and history at Lund University. Who was Kilian Stobaeus? He was a physician, a scientist, and a university vice-chancellor. Kilian Stobaeus was the man whose

In the era of proteomics, glycomics and ultimately metabolomics, with constantly increasing knowledge regarding the human biosystem, the number of specialized therapeutic agents which will be developed against different diseases is predicted to be on the upswing. An increasing portion of these new drugs will, according to recent predictions (Labrou, 2003), be of proteinaceous origin produced accor
