Impact of milk processing on the generation of peptides during digestion

Martinus Gijs, Guy Vergères, Flurina Schwander, Reto Portmann

Milk processing may induce changes in dairy product composition and influence digestibility and nutrient bioavailability. Differences in protein degradation and peptide generation were studied for beta-lactoglobulin and alpha(S1)-casein from commercially a ...

Implementation of a genetic transformation strategy to improve the biological CO2 capture in Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp.

Christian Ludwig, Mariluz Bagnoud

The concept of producing renewable microalgae biomass using as a main nutrient source a secondary wastewater stream is presently under investigation. It is planned to purify the wastewater by the growth of algal biomass while producing a feedstock that can ...
