Acrylamide, a probable human carcinogen, has been found at mg/kg levels, in heat-treated carbohydrate-rich foods. Acrylamide is formed via the Maillard reaction as a result of the reaction between the amino acid asparagine and reducing sugars (glucose and fructose). Potatoes contain relatively high levels of both asparagine and reducing sugars and therefore potato products such as crisps, French f

The Hampshire breed was introduced as the terminal sire in Swedish slaughter pigs in the 1970s, mainly to reduce stress susceptibility and associated problems of meat quality, such as the meat being pale, soft and exudative (PSE). Since then, however, the RN – allele, a mutation which is only found in pure-bred Hampshire and in crosses with it, has been discovered. In Sweden, approximately 65% of

Phytase is an important enzyme in the food/feed industry. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytate, an anti-nutrient compound present in cereals and grains, to release orthophosphate and myo-inositol-6-phosphate with lower degrees of phosphorylation. Phytic acid is a strong chelator capable of complexing with a variety of metal ions under neutral and alkaline conditions, as well as with proteins and

This thesis presents development of new analytical methods using antibodies and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in binding assays: 1) The high specificity of antibodies and the wide variety of efficient labels make immunoassay one of the most popular analytical techniques today. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is most widely used, since the enzyme label can be used as a catalyst t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Genom att inta en bärdryck med extra fiber från råg eller havre steg inte blodsockret och insulinnivån lika snabbt jämfört med samma måltid utan fiber i drycken. Dessutom visade ett test två timmar efter havreklimåltiden att avläsningen av insulinrelaterade gener (genuttrycket) hade nedreglerats. Andra gener som påverkades av havremåltiden var kopplade till proteinsynteIt is well established that dietary fibre, especially soluble dietary fibre, has beneficial effects and can prevent diseases associated with the modern lifestyle. This has been explained by the viscous effects of soluble fibre, which can reduce or delay the absorption of carbohydrates and fat in the small intestine, resulting in lower blood concentrations of glucose, insulin and cholesterol. Oats,

The article analyses the Nazi socialist construction of "Nordic Music" and gives examples of it's use in the years 1933-1945. It focusses on the funktionalization of musicians and composers of the Nordic countries by the Nazis and on the politization of musical ideas. In order to create and to uplift a worldwide image of German cultural superiority the semantics of Nazi music terminology changed.
