Phytates and RFOs are known anti-nutrients found in pulses, that can impair mineral absorption and cause digestive discomfort, respectively. Pulsed electric field (PEF) have emerged as a promising technology, for cell membrane permeabilization, potentially enhancing the accessibility of these compounds to enzymatic degradation. Fermentation, on the other hand, is a traditional method known to redu
Betong är världens mest använda byggnadsmaterial och kan användas i många olika syften. Betong består av cement som bindemedel och vatten, sand och sten (ballast).Tillverkningen av cement är problematisk eftersom det medför stora koldioxidutsläpp och det har varit ett fokus inom branschen att minska miljöpåverkan.
