Understanding the Role of Plant-based Proteins and Extrusion Parameters in Different Fish Feeds
… goal is set to stop feeding the fish by fish. Plant-based proteins may make fish farming sustainable; however, utilization of them in aquafeed is somewhat challenging. Achieving the goal requires both appropriate pre-treatment of these protein sources and employing a proper production …

Adopting Plant-rich Dietary Patterns and Reducing Red and Processed Meat Intake: Examining How Diverse U.S. Food and Health Systems Actors May Support Sustainable Diet Transitions for American Adults
Expert bodies recommend that populations adopt plant-rich dietary patterns and consume less red and processed meats (RPM) as a high-impact climate action. This PhD dissertation describes three studies that examined how diverse food and health systems actors may encourage sustainable diet …

Meat No Longer Requires Animal Slaughter – Valuing an Alternative Protein Player
… challenges nowadays. Meanwhile, alternative proteins have been improved significantly over the last years and plant-based proteins are about to reach cost parity. Against this backdrop, foreseeing a rosy future for alternative protein producers and expecting high returns from investing early …

Rheology and Processing of Animal and Plant-Based Dense Emulsions
… by interfacially active egg lipids and proteins. Often, mayonnaise is presented as a challenging example of an egg-based food material that is hard to emulate using plant-based or vegan ingredients. In this contribution, we characterize the flow behavior of animal-based and plant-based …

Estudio de prefactibilidad para la instalación de una planta productora de proteína de quinua isolatada en polvo (Chenopodium quinoa)
… of Quinua protein isolate manufacturing plant aimed to the NSE A and B from Lima provides the necessary information to underpinned the feasibility of the Project. Nowadays, plant-based proteins are having more market coverage due to the new cruelty free lifestyle. On the other hand, the …

Novel nutrient based approaches for appetite regulation and obesity
… observed globally over the past few decades. Plant-based proteins may serve as a more environmentally sustainable alternative to animal-derived proteins; however, research on the appetite regulatory effects of plant-based proteins is still in its early stages. This thesis therefore focused on …

Investigating the potential utilisation of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) as an alternative protein source in tilapia and carp feed
… (il1β, tnfα, il10, tgfβ), tight junction proteins (cldn3, ocln), and mucosal immunity markers (IgM, pIgR, muc2) were unaffected, while β-defensin 1, pcna, and hsp70 were downregulated. While microbiota diversity remained stable across the diets, BSF frass reduced Proteobacteria and …

Performance of Nile Tilapia and Yellow Perch Fed Diets Containing Distillers Dried Grain with Solubles and Extruded Diet Characteristics
… sources. Most of these sources consist of plant-based proteins that provide a primary carbohydrate-based energy source. Two such protein sources include distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) and commercially produced yeast cultures (i.e., probiotics). Increased production in fuel …

Plant protein structure design and its potential substitution of dairy proteins in gelation systems
Plant-based proteins are gain attention as versatile alternatives to dairy-derived proteins as functional ingredients in food formulations due to their greater sustainability and lower production costs, and health benefits. However, in-depth knowledge about the structural and functional knowledge …

Aetiological role of early lifestyle exposures in puberty timing
… inverse-variance-weighted random-effects models. Based on 28 studies in Western and Asian settings, earlier timing of puberty in females, indicated by age at menarche, was consistently associated with higher T2D/IGT risk in women (n=1,228,306). Similarly, in the only one identified study in males …

Controlled self-assembly of natural proteins into hierarchically structured functional materials
… of the nanofibrillar self-assembly of natural proteins and to develop new methods to utilise self-assembled structures for novel protein materials. The approach demonstrated here enabled an enhanced level of control over multi-scale protein assembly, leading to the creation of functional …

Phase behaviour and structure formation of alginate-protein composite gels used in 3D bioprinting
… industries, with a key application in extrusion-based 3D bioprinting. Alginate offers favourable printability and rapid ionic gelation but lacks cell-adhesive properties. Gelatin addresses these limitations by providing RGD motifs essential for cell attachment and enhancing scaffold porosity …

The effect of whey protein-polyphenol on the recovery of muscle function and strength following eccentric exercise- the myogenic and neural contributions to eccentric exercise.
… sources, with inconsistent findings on whether plant-based proteins can be sufficient to support muscle recovery. As trends towards more sustainable protein sources grow, the lack of clear knowledge highlights the need to conduct research and share findings effectively to maximise understanding …

Quality and nutritional aspects of conventional and novel food proteins
… fabrication line of a commercial beef processing plant. Upon collection of knuckles, synovial fluid and the femur surface were swabbed to determine psychrotrophic anaerobic sporeformer presence. The collected knuckles were transported on ice to the laboratory where they were aseptically separated …

Dry matter loss rates of soybeans: Effects of respiration measurement system, damage by splits, and moisture content at elevated temperatures
… on the final use of soybean, t_s can be based on dry matter loss (DML), germination, or mold growth. DML can be estimated by measuring the amount of respired carbon dioxide (CO2) during grain storage, and so has become the basis of previous recommendations for t_s of grains, oilseeds, and …
