Master's thesis projects about food & nutrition at Depart. of Food Science

Development of proteomics sample preparation of human milk proteins using robotics

600 milk samples have been collected from 160 mothers and their infants to study the mother’s milk proteins. To accomplish this, we need high-throughput sample preparation

The effect of structure during digestion

Texture and structure are very important to deliver nutrients at the right time, in the right place

Awareness of bodily sensations and the sensory eating experience for healthier food behaviour

In this project, you will elucidate how populations differ in their capabilities to sense sensory stimuli and appetite sensations, clarify strategies to ease perception and support healthy eating behavior

Development of Serum-free media for cultivated meat

Work with a sustainable meat production of the future. Can you develop serum-free media for cultivated meat production?

MicroRNA in plant-exosomes

Novel microRNAs from plants – what affects there expression?

Acceptance of new protein concepts in Europe, Asia and Africa

This project focuses on understanding cultural differences in acceptance of protein produced using alternative means. The student will be involved in a highly international project running studies in EU, Asia and Africa

Human milk proteome

Characterizations of variations in the human milk proteome, its caseins and calcium contents and protein degradation

Gastric coagulation of bovine milk caseins in relation to infant nutrition

Initial coagulation of caseins in the stomach is important for subsequent digestion processes of milk proteins. Understanding the importance of caseins in this process can help improve infant formulae

Human milk in an omics-perspective

Mother’s milk is the gold standard feeding regime for newborn infants and represents a baseline for the functional performance of infant formulae. However, how is the mother influencing milk composition, how is infant using nutrients and which role does the infant gut microbiota play?

Barley proteins for human consumption

This project will investigate the protein profile using protein chemical and proteomics techniques of different barley cultivars to identify how this influences its use for human consumption

The experience of changing your diet

In order to achieve a deeper understanding of how to succeed with dietary changes, research is needed exploring the process of dietary behavior changes; including motivational factors, barriers and strategies to overcome the barriers

The significance of the MAPK and AMPK signalling pathways on satellite cell differentiation

How can we control cell growth for cultured meat?
