A large part of the edible and useful parts of broccoli and kale are not used today. These side streams could be used for new processed products, which would also contribute to increasing Swedish food production. The market for ne…

The establishment of model systems to study the bacterial dynamics and acquisition of antibiotic resistance on the skin caused by long-term exposure to skin care products will facilitate detection and prevention at an early stage.…

Knowledge of the presence of resistance genes to antibiotics and biocides in microorganisms on the skin is important in order to be able to develop effective and long-term sustainable hygiene products. In the project, methodology …

The project is expected to strengthen Swedish industry's competitiveness and innovation capacity, as well as society's preparedness in the areas of infection prevention and microbial diagnostics. This will be done by establishing,…

Large parts of the broccoli plants are left in the field. To reduce waste, we investigate using other parts of the plant to obtain new innovative ingredients for future product development. It will reduce waste, increase resource …

We will develop and validate robust DNA-based methods (qPCR and NGS) to quantify bacteria in the skin's microbiome. The project provides the basis for studies of the skin's microbiome to study, for example, the effect on the compo…

Energy optimization is central for sustainable development and domestic hot water temperature is important. A compromise between energy use and microbial safety is needed. The limited water volume solution allows water temperature…

Reducing infections will give socioeconomic benefits. Cleaning is often done manually making it difficult to determine if it is enough. Standards to measure cleanliness is lacking. We develop an analytical method to provide a pict…
