Fatty Acid and Amino Acid Profiles of Seven Edible Insects: Focus on Lipid Class Composition and Protein Conversion Factors KU Leuven
This study is based on the fatty acid and amino acid profiles of seven edible insect species: Acheta domesticus, Alphitobius diaperinus, Blaptica dubia, Galleria mellonella, Locusta migratoria, Tenebrio molitor, and Zophobas morio. The aim of the present study is to provide new data on the fatty acid distributions among lipid classes as well as the species-specific protein conversion factor (Kp) of a wide range of insects in order to further ...
Optimization of concrete mix designs toward the bond properties of steel reinforcement in self-healing concrete by Taguchi method KU Leuven
The bond of steel reinforcement in normal concrete has been extensively studied, while its bond properties in self-healing concrete has rarely been investigated because the main focus of developing self-healing concrete relies on the improved healing performance such water tightness and strength regain. In fact, the mix design of concrete will greatly affect the bonding. This study elaborates on the optimisation of mix designs for self-healing ...
