Regionalized Life Cycle Assessment of Food and Energy Systems

Xun Liao

To steer the sustainable transition in the food and energy sectors, reliable environmental data is required to answer environmental questions related to single agricultural crop, food product or energy technologies. Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been wid ...

Large-scale regionalised LCA shows that plant-based fat spreads have a lower climate, land occupation and water scarcity impact than dairy butter

Xun Liao

Purpose In light of the sustainable diet debate, we conducted a large-scale regionalised LCA to answer the following questions: (i) does the climate advantage hypothesis of plant-based fat spreads and creams over dairy butter and cream hold regardless of t ...

Inflammatory and metabolic responses to high-fat meals with and without dairy products in men

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs

Postprandial inflammation is an important factor for human health since chronic low-grade inflammation is associated with chronic diseases. Dairy products have a weak but significant anti-inflammatory effect on postprandial inflammation. The objective of t ...

Impact of milk processing on the generation of peptides during digestion

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Flurina Schwander

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 ...

Label-free detection of DNA with interdigitated micro-electrodes in a fluidic cell

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Daniel Berdat

We investigate the analytical performance of an interdigitated electrode sensor for the label-free detection of DNA, by monitoring the complex impedance of 5 µm wide interdigitated Pt microelectrodes on a glass substrate. We detect the hybridization of unl ...
