Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) has the potential to replace fossil fuels, thanks to the concept
of biorefinery. This material is formed mainly by cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose. To …

Wheat is a prevalent food worldwide, although its production arises several tonnes of
industrial by-products that merit valorisation, owing to sustainable demands. In this work, an …

We aimed to assess the potential of ultrasonic treatment on the processing of
polysaccharides as functional foods or food additives. The polysaccharide from …

Damaged starch typically arises from mechanical damage caused by the action of the roller
mills during the wheat flour milling process. The content of resulting damaged starch in the …

Background and objectives Flour millers are faced with constraints of having to meet
proximate specifications, usually defined by supply contracts, while trying to maximize yield …

In this study, dry fractionation process was proposed in order to obtain protein-enriched
sunflower meal fractions. The process includes two-stage grinding using a hammer mill and …

The size distribution of ultra-fine flours (UFF) is crucial for determining the physicochemical
properties of the final wheat milling product. To optimize the milling process, new passages …

The bakery industry requires specific quality flours to manufacture different products. For the
production of frozen products, strong flour with specific quality indicators is required, which is …

The aim of the study was to optimize the culture conditions and cellulase enzymatic reaction
conditions of the cellulase-degrading bacterium CE41 to achieve high yield and high …

Moving from a fossil dependent to a fossil free economy requires increased energy
production from renewable resources. This thesis discusses the utilization of agricultural …
