Anomalous enhanced swelling of charged copolymer gels
Highlights Abstract Copolymer gels are a class of hydrogels that possess at least two different monomers within the same polymer chain. A common method for synthesizing copolymer gels is the...
From mist to matter: Steering particle structure development during pilot-scale spray drying
Spray drying is a widely applied method for producing shelf-life stable powders such as food ingredients. During drying, a liquid feed is atomized into small droplets and exposed to hot...
Single droplet drying to steer particle agglomeration during spray drying
Large scale food processes allow mass-production of well-preservable food materials, such as powders produced by spray drying. However, the food industry is consuming a lot of energy, and drying is...
Liquid-Gas Interface Deformations in Atomization
The simulation studies performed in this work represent a stepping stone towards the use of LFRM in the simulation of spray systems present in spray drying applications.
Protein transport in open ultrafiltration
This thesis aims to quantify the mass transfer of proteins through a membrane and understand which driving forces in the system are responsible for protein–protein separation with ultrafiltration (UF).
Advances in Membrane Separation for Biomaterial Dewatering
Dewatering by membrane separation is a sustainable and efficient alternative for drying biomaterials.
Functionality-driven food formulation
This research proposes a method to create ingredient formulations based on their functional properties rather than of what they are composed.
Metabolomics and sensory studies to uncover asparagus flavour
Mass spectrometry (MS) – based techniques were used to investigate the metabolome of raw, cooked and processed asparagus materials.
Spray drying of asparagus waste into flavour-rich ingredients
The residual flow of white asparagus is very suitable for spray-drying into powder.
Pea fractionation into functional ingredients
In this thesis, the process of yellow pea from structured seed to structured product is investigated.
PINcHED – Process Integrated Heat Pump Drying
The PINcHED project investigates the heat pump process integration for 2 typical drying processes: Convective drying (Huhtamaki use case) and Contact drying (Cosun/Rixona and AVEBE use cases).
