FOOD AND FEED SAFETY IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
This thesis addresses the valorization of agri food co/by-products and former food products (FFPs) for their introduction into animal feed within a circular economy framework. Chapter 1 validated an HPLC-UV method for quantifying theobromine and caffeine, and assessed cocoa hulls (CHs) compliance …

Rapid quantification of trypsin inhibitors in food and feed formulations with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
… deteriorate the nutritional value of animal foods and feed formulations. The important one being trypsin inhibitors. Trypsin inhibitors in food and feed formulations lower the protein supplement and hence the ultimate consequence is the decrease in growth and development of animals. It is …

Production and commercialisation of insects as food and feed: identification of the main constraints in the European Union
As projeções da Food Agricultural Organization (FAO), que apontam para um crescimento exponencial da população mundial (10 mil milhões em 2050, ou seja, +38% comparado com os níveis atuais), levantam muitas preocupações e dúvidas sobre a capacidade dos sistemas de produção agroalimentar …

Leaf protein concentrate from paunch grass and green waste: A technoeconomic analysis and lifecycle assessment
The global supply of food and feed protein needs to double during the first half of the 21st century. At present, food and feed protein is produced by livestock and arable crop farming. Further expansion of this protein production model is unsustainable in many countries due to overallocated water …

The chromatographic determination of fusarium toxins in maize associated with human oesophageal cancer
The necessity to obtain accurate and reliable data pertaining to the range and/or levels of mycotoxin contamination in a variety of food and feed substrates, intended for human or animal consumption, has therefore, become important. An integral part of this study will be the provision of the most …

Identification and Characterization of Novel Mycotoxin Degrading Enzymes
… metabolites that aid fungal colonization and contaminate food and feed. Consuming mycotoxin-contaminated products poses health risks to humans and animals. While several strategies to limit mycotoxin contamination exist, enzymatic biotransformation of mycotoxins into non-toxic forms offers …

Outlining different perspectives for accurate MS-based proteomics in processed matrices - a case study on European feed control
… has restricted animal-derived protein in feed. However, current official control methods only partially ensure compliance. Mass spectrometry (MS) offers a promising approach to ensure food and feed safety, though thermal processing may compromise its sensitivity. Hence, this thesis …

Assessing and Implementing Value-Added Soybean Innovations in the Soybean Meal and Food Industry
… max [L.] Merr.) is a vital global crop for food and feed, but its value is constrained by consumer-driven quality traits and the presence of trypsin inhibitors (TIs) - antinutritional proteins that impair protein digestion in monogastric animals. This study employed a multifaceted approach …

Human aflatoxin exposure in south-western Ethiopia assessed using serum biomarkers: A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science at Lincoln University
… produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated food can cause hepatocellular carcinoma, immune suppression, child growth impairment, and death. The study aimed to assess aflatoxin exposure in South-western Ethiopian adults, using serum …

Strategies to detoxify the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol and improve food safety in the U.S.
… fungi that are a threat to the health of humans and domestic animals. The most important mycotoxin in the U.S. is deoxynivalenol (DON), which causes symptoms such as vomiting, feed refusal, and weight loss in farm animals. The fungus Fusarium graminearum produces DON in staple crops such as …

Environmental considerations for interactions between agricultural herbicides and nitrogen fertilizers in water
Agricultural herbicides and fertilizers are widely used and necessary for the production of food and feed. Each herbicide and fertilizer must be extensively researched prior to being released for commercial use. However, some research indicates that an interaction may occur when fertilizers and …

Population genomics and domestication of the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.)
Our global food chain is under considerable threat from a growing human population and climate change. Improving food security requires an increase in sustainable agricultural practices to alleviate this threat. Recent development of an insect livestock industry has promoted a circular approach to …

Application of an agent-based modeling approach to study the postharvest loss of food grains in India
Global food security is vital to sustain a population of 9 billion by 2050. Consequently, greater demand is being placed on water, land, and nutrients to increase food production – quickly surpassing resource availability. Developing regions, which already experience widespread food insecurity and …
