    • Kvalitet og holdbarhet av torskefilet – påvirkningen av ulik temperatur ved «ilandføring» 

      Ingebrigtsen, Tomas André (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-17)
      Sjømatnæringen i Norge er viktig for både norsk økonomi og grunnlaget for bosetning langs den lange kysten vår. I dagens samfunn kastes rundt en fjerdedel av all mat som produseres som følge av mikrobiell aktivitet. Fisk er et lett bedervelig råstoff, og derfor er det viktig å finne metoder for å oppnå best mulig holdbarhet. Brudd på kjølelinjen ved produksjon av ferske fiskeprodukter og lagring ved ...
    • In vitro fordøyelse av fett fra kiselalgen Porosira glacialis 

      Johnsen, Camilla (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-19)
      Behovet for fett som inneholder langkjedede omega-3 fettsyrer i fiskefôr og helsekostprodukter har økt. Fiskeolje som tradisjonelt har blitt brukt i disse produktene er mangelvare og mange har foreslått at primærprodusentene, marine mikroalger, kan dyrkes og brukes til slike formål. Hensikten med denne oppgaven var å undersøke om fett i mikroalgen P. glacialis, kan fordøyes i et in vitro fordøyelsessystem ...

      While Norway has had a world-leading position in farmed Atlantic salmon since the pioneer age of the 1960s and 1970s, Iceland’s history of salmon farming is one of misadventure; however, a third attempt to become a viable player in the global industry is underway. Despite disagreements over terminology and the extent to which each country-specific characteristic affects the success of firms operating ...
    • Biokjemisk sammensetning og bioaktivitet i hydrolysert sjøpølse, mikroalger og mesopelagiske organismer 

      Killingmo, Signy Antonette Linge (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)
      Havet utgjør mer enn 70 % av overflaten til jordkloden, men står bare for 7 % av alt protein konsumert i verden. For å utnytte havet i større grad kan man høste på et lavere trofisk nivå i næringskjeden. Hele 90 % av energien tapes mellom hvert trofiske nivå og lite utnyttede arter i de lavere nivåene er derfor en stor potensiell ressurs. Disse artene kan muligens utnyttes til humant konsum, eller ...

    • Lipider i silderogn: Ekstraksjon med "grønn teknologi" 

      Stabell, Rikke (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)
      Omega-3 fettsyrer er i større grad bundet til fosfolipider (PL) enn triacylglyserol (TAG) i umoden silderogn. Fettsyrene EPA (C20:5 n-3) og DHA (C22:6 n-3) er i hovedsak bare å finne i sjømat og disse fettsyrene har flere positive helseeffekter, som kan bidra til å redusere hjerte og karsykdommer. Umoden silderogn har et høyt innhold av celler og inneholder relativt sett lite depotfett og derav ...
