LivsID is part of the government's initiative in the national food strategy to meet future challenges within the industry.
We invite you to apply to one or more of the following projects:
Fractionation of grains to create new functional food ingredients
Wheat bran is a side stream from grinding of wheat that contains many interesting components. The aim of the PhD project is to create new functional ingredients from wheat bran through fractionation and extraction. This will mean up-scaling from lab scale, characterization and evaluation of the component's function in model systems such as emulsions, foams and gels.
Location: SLU Uppsala, Lantmännen Head office in Stockholm and Lantmännen Reppe Växjö
Future feed evaluation for a competitive agriculture
Increased use of domestic feed is strategically important for the sustainable development of Swedish milk production. The project objective is to contribute to increased knowledge and understanding of the feeding value of forage crops. The structure of lignin in various crops can explain differences in feed efficiency. This assumption becomes important in the future of plant breeding, feed development and concrete advice to milk producers.
Location: SLU Umeå and Uppsala, Lantmännen Lantbruk Malmö
Flour quality for bakery
The goal is to optimize wheat flour's baking quality and to find more efficient analyzing methods. A wheat dough is a complex structure whose properties are dependent on the flour quality, for example the amount and the quality of protein, starch, soluble fibers, polar lipids and their interactions. Today, about 19 analyzes are made to standardize the flour, despite this the desired quality for the bread is not always achieved. The idea is to use metabolomics and statistical analysis to find more relevant quality measurements of the flour.
Location: SLU Uppsala, Lantmännen head office in Stockholm and partly of the time at our flour mills located in Malmö, Strängnäs, Veijle in Denmark and Oslo in Norway
