Collaborative project: Potential of algae-based biolubricant additives: extraction, application and technical properties - from the plant to the technical product, subproject P1 (HSB): Performance testing in machining (Project)
...The opportunities of this approach are (1) mineral oil-reduced lubricant application, (2) significant resource conservation, and (3) avoidance of the food or fuel conflict. This subproject P1 "Performance testing in machining" defines the technical requirements for the additives developed for cutting processes. ...

Validation of Contigent Valuation techniques to internalise food safety externalities for Russian wheat supply chain (Project)
...While claims on protectionist nature of food regulations are valid in principle, yet there is little empirical evidence about their economic effects. The questions of 1) quantification of trade impact of food standards and 2) investigation of national food regulation systems are absolutely essential for the new trade agenda. ...The results of the research will assist 1) international policy makers in designing new global trade agenda and 2) Russian producers, exporters and decision makers in improving cereal value chain....

SFB 564: D1.3 - Regulation of flowering in tropical fruit crops on erosion prone sites in Northern Thailand (Project)
...This crop is therefore an ideal “model plant” to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of flowering by: 1. determining acquisition and distribution of KClO3 using isotope labelling techniques and measuring enzyme activities in leaves to decide whether nitrate reductase is involved in the conversion and flower inducing activity of KClO3; 2. identifying mutual influences between hormones including their time-dependent changes brought about by manipulation of hormone biosynthesis through exogenously applied plant growth regulators (PGRs); 3. investigating the effect of “off-season” production systems on carbohydrate distribution and reserves Mango Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is already commercially used to manipulated flower induction in mango, however, the technique may not be sustainable due to its persistence in plant and soil. Prohexadione-Ca (Pro-Ca), another gibberellin biosynthesis inhibiting compound, and specific crop management techniques may prove to be successful and more sustainable alternatives to PBZ and warrant detailed investigation by: 1. evaluating appropriate time-of-season, concentration and application procedure (injection or spray) of Pro-Ca as possible alternative of PBZ and subsequent effects on hormonal status; 2. pruning or defoliation techniques which may induce a secondary flower through an altered hormonal status in the bud tissue....

FOR 995 P3: Cycling and ageing of amino acid nitrogen during paddy soil development (Project)
...The N-cycling using biomarkers is assessed (iv) in the short-term using the 13C content of soil amino acids after 13C pulse-labelling of rice plants, (v) in the medium-term by 14 tracing of bomb C in Dalanine and other amino acids, and (vi) in the long-term via the compound-specific 14C age of buried amino acid enantiomers....

UV-treatment of opaque dairy products for vitamin D3 adjustment (Project)
...Processing efficiency in using UV treatment is influenced by several factors, i.e. absorbance coefficients, turbidity, flow rate, and particle size and characteristics. ...In 2012, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) approved UV-C-treated milk as Novel Food. This treatment was reported to form vitamin D3 from intrinsic precursors and to extend the shelf life. ...Combinations of the novel UV-C and an established heat-treatment will be a subject of the investigations, elaborating synergistic effects and process sequences. ...

Development of strategies for growing to safe and expand local cultivation of biologically gherkins (Project)
...Despite the timely application before infestation, and repeated application (6-7 times) in weekly turns, a positive impact on the health of the plants could not be observed. ...

Protecting the food chain from prions: shaping European priorities through basic and applied research (PRIORITY) (Project)
...Thus, to understand why BSE-contaminated food causes vCJD, we need to understand how prions get into food, what happens with them in the gut, how they reach the brain, and how they initiate the chain reaction rapidly leading to death. We have formulated 7 key questions: * How can we avoid a new BSE outbreak, or other possible future prion infection of livestock? ...

Stable S isotopes as indicators for Sulphur immission and turnover in ecosystems (Project)
...S originating from fossil fuel as well as S from fertiliser has a S isotopic composition that clearly differs from naturally occurring S in soils of e.g. agricultural or forest stands. Hence, it is possible to trace S deriving from fertilisers added to agricultural stands as plant nutrient on its way through the agroecosystem. Airborne pollutants containing S - e.g. as SO2 produced during combustion of fossil fuels - might as well be traced by means of stable S isotope analysis in different compartments of an ecosystem under evaluation. ...
