legume-based mixed gel texture
Unsustainable food production and consumption are common threats contributing to climate change and global environmental degradation. Transitioning towards a more plant-based diet can mitigate these
Chloroplast calcium signaling
Light intensity is rarely stable during the span of a day – think of changing cloud cover, shading, flickering of leaves and daily rhythms of dusk and dawn. As the primary site of photosynthesis,
Consumers want tasty food
Consumers want to live a healthier and more sustainable life, and eat a healthy diet. Both academy and industry are working hard to satisfy these demands. But measuring only nutritional composition
The Plant Catabolism Laboratories
We are interested in the mechanisms and functions of catabolic processes during development, aging and stress response at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels. Our experimental models span
Save the rainforest with oil and protein from yeast
Yeast protein and yeast oil produced from wood and straw cellulose can be used as alternative protein and fat sources in fish feed. Aquaculture is a rapidly growing industry and fish is an important
SLU's focus on food science
A significant portion of SLU's research revolves around putting food on the table. It is an ever-relevant issue in society during a time of changing climates and a need for increased food resilience.
Global collaboration for animal welfare
Since the start of 2023, SLU has been one of the EU partners in a project called SuLAWe, led by Nürtingen-Geislingen University (HGU) in Germany. The project, which focuses on Sustainable Livestock
What does future education look like
SLU collaborates with higher education institutions around the world and actively participates in international networks and projects. SLU constantly enhances the international dimension and
More Fermented legumes and cereals for better Healthy Planet
The way we produce and consume food has never been more critical. The global food system, with its large carbon dioxide emissions, has livestock farming as a primary contributor due to excessive
