Glycerol is a 3-carbon sugar alcohol successfully employed as an alternative feed ingredient for land-farmed animals and more recently for farmed fish. While most studies address zootechnical performance, few have delved into the metabolic utilization of dietary glycerol. A growth trial was performed using diets with increasing levels of glycerol (...

Inulin is accumulated as a reserve carbohydrate in the roots and tubers of many plants belonging to the Asteraceae family. At present, most of the inulin for nutraceutical purposes is produced from Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) and Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.), and cardoon is proved to synthetize and store a high quantity of inuli...
Papirna industrija je ena izmed večjih onesnaževalk okolja. Inovacije in tehnološki napredek sta prinesla izboljšave na področju varovanja okolja in zapiranja snovno energetskih tokov. V magistrski nalogi smo primerjali scenarije razčrniljenja z uporabo kemikalij (tradicionalen način), komercialnih encimov (dostopnih na trgu), ter lastnih encimov. ...

Glycerol is the by-product of biodiesel production and its utilisation in fish feed has recently gained relevance. As an important metabolic intermediate and structural component of triacylglycerol (TAG), it is still unclear whether its supplementation affects lipid utilisation and/or deposition in different tissues. Accordingly, a set of studies w...

The Netherlands has set the ambitious goal to have a fully circular economy by 2050. The Port of Rotterdam (PoR), the largest and busiest port in Europe, has strong potential to become a future circular hub. The PoR has been a major player in the seaport industry for centuries with, among others, a strong logistics sector and a robust shipbuilding ...
With the growing world population and concerns about resource scarcity, environmental pressures, and social challenges more and more industries have a growing interest in transitioning towards a circular economy.
In South Holland, specifically in the port of Rotterdam, the ship manufacturing sector requires fundamental change. Circularity is current...
