Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria on the Level of Antinutrients in Pulses: A Case Study of a Fermented Faba Bean-Oat Product.

The importance of cereals and pulses in the diet is widely recognized, and consumers are seeking for ways to balance their diet with plant-based options. However, the presence of antinutritional factors reduces their nutritional value by decreasing the bioavailability of proteins and minerals. This study's aim was to select microbes and fermentation conditions to affect the nutritional value, taste, and safety of products.

Dynamics of microbial community in response to co-feedstock composition in anaerobic digestion.

To enable the utilization of seasonal biomasses in e.g., farm-scale biogas plants, the process should be flexible and ensure stable gas production.

Changes in volatile fatty acid production and microbiome during fermentation of food waste from hospitality sector.

Due to the increasing demand for low carbon-footprint bioproducts in the markets, innovative processes technologies and products are needed. The objective of this study was to assess the quality and potential of food waste (FW) from the hospitality sector to produce volatile fatty acids (VFAs). A batch type acid fermentation system was used to study VFA production in different process conditions (a decreased pH and increased organic loading rate).

Underutilized Northern plant sources and technological aspects for recovering their polyphenols.

Consumers worldwide are increasingly interested in the authenticity and naturalness of products. At the same time, the food, agricultural and forest industries generate large quantities of sidestreams that are not effectively utilized. However, these raw materials are rich and inexpensive sources of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols.

Impact of lactic acid fermentation on sensory and chemical quality of dairy analogues prepared from lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.) seeds.

Lupine (Lupinus sp.) is a valuable source of plant proteins. There is little knowledge on the impact of food processing on composition and sensory properties of lupine products.
