Reduction of the Microbial Load of Digestate by the Cultivation of Galdieria sulphuraria Under Acidic Conditions
Daniel Pleissner,Nicole Händel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the use of Galdieria sulphuraria as a hygenization method for digestate, which serves as nitrogen source in algae cultivation, and found that the remaining microorganisms were almost exclusively spore forming ones which were reduced by a log reduction factor of 2 during cultivation under acidic conditions.

Global food losses and food waste: extent, causes and prevention.
TL;DR: The Swedish Institute for Food and Biotechnology (SIK) as mentioned in this paper conducted two studies on global food losses, one for high/medium-income countries and one for low income countries, to serve as a basis for the international congress Save Food!, 16-17 May 2011, at the international packaging industry fair Interpack2011 in Dusseldorf, Germany.

A colorimetric method for the determination of sugars.
TL;DR: Preliminary experiments showed that the anthrone and the α-naphthol sulphonate reagents give good results with pure sugar solutions, but the presence of only traces of solvents such as butanol, phenol and propionic acid used in the chromatographic separation of the sugars rendered them useless.
