Extraction and characterization of bioactive natural products from brown seaweed Alaria esculenta
Zhang, Shizhe (Master thesis, 2022)Natural products are chemical compounds found in natural sources including terrestrial and marine organisms. In addition to their nutritional values, natural products can also exhibit health benefits such as antipathogenic, ... -
High-Resolution 1D 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Multivariate Analysis and Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence Spectroscopy for Comparing Different Sample Preparation Methods and Styles of Beer
Zotchev, Kristoffer (Master thesis, 2020)The consumption of beer is deeply embedded in Norwegian history, all the way back to when the vikings celebrated after a day of successful plundering. Worldwide, the variety of different kinds of beers is greatly increasing, ... -
Investigation into the presence of polyphenols and carotenoids in the two seaweed species Alaria esculenta and Saccharina latissima, with a focus on extracting, purifying, and characterizing the xanthophyll fucoxanthin.
Jacobsen, Synnøve Strand (Master thesis, 2021)Kultivering og utnyttelse av tare som en bærekraftig kilde til fornybare ressurser har de siste årene fått mye oppmerksomhet. Forskning på antioksidanter som polyfenoler og karotenoider fra bruntare har spesielt fått mye ... -
Investigation of the structural and immunomodulatory properties of alkali-soluble β-glucans from Pleurotus eryngii fruiting bodies
Ellefsen, Christiane Færestrand; Lindstad, Linda; Klau, Leesa Jane; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Hiorth, Marianne; Samuelsen, Anne Berit C. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Fungal β-glucans have received a lot of interest due to their proinflammatory activity towards cells of the innate immune system. Although commonly described as (1➔3)-β-glucans with varying degree of (1➔6)-branching, the ... -
The Natural Product Domain Seeker version 2 (NaPDoS2) webtool relates ketosynthase phylogeny to biosynthetic function
Klau, Leesa Jane; Podell, Sheila; Creamer, Kaitlin E.; Demko, Alyssa M.; Singh, Hans W.; Allen, Eric E.; Moore, Bradley S.; Ziemert, Nadine; Letzel, Anne Catrin; Jensen, Paul R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The Natural Product Domain Seeker (NaPDoS) webtool detects and classifies ketosynthase (KS) and condensation domains from genomic, metagenomic, and amplicon sequence data. Unlike other tools, a phylogeny-based classification ... -
