    Bread at the nanoscale

    Lantmännen
    Nov 2018 - Feb 2020

    Lantmännen and RISE want to establish new knowledge about the interaction of polysaccharides with water, and the gelatinisation of starch granules that shapes the baking process. The results of the X-ray scattering experiments help Lantmännen optimise the different qualities of their flours. The aim for better flours Lantmännen is an agricultural cooperative and Northern Europe’s leader in agriculture, machinery, bioenergy and food products with operation […]

    Increasing paperboard durability using neutron imaging 

    BillerudKorsnäs, LTH/Lunds Universitet
    Nov 2018 - Nov 2019

    Cellulose-based paperboard is a renewable, recyclable, and durable packaging material. Scientists from the packaging provider company, BillerudKorsnäs, and researchers from Lund University have used neutron imaging to explore ways to make this material better resist water.  Bridging knowledge gaps with neutron imaging   Paperboard is one of our most widely used packaging materials for packaging food and beverage products, including juices, milk, and cereal. The packages are […]
