When size matters: a platform to study molecular interactions and multimerisation KU Leuven
We are requesting funding for a system that offers a choice
of resolving the samples according to hydrodynamic volume
using either size-exclusion chromatography or field-flow
fractionation with an online multi-detector system including
multi-angle light scattering, dynamic light scattering, UVvisible
light absorption, refractometry, and the detection of
fluorescence spectra. The requested instrument allows to ...

Towards a sustainable and profitable soybean cultivation in Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Is it possible to introduce soybean production in Flanders in an economical and sustainable way? Flanders is highly dependent from import of soy from Latin America. This import is rising not only social and ecological questions, but the economic impact for the Flemish farmers is high due to volatile and high prices. Previous research has shown the necessity to increase soybean yield in order ...
The role of lipids during sponge cake making and their impact on sponge cake quality KU Leuven
Flour, sugar and eggs are the main ingredients of sponge cake. This cake system therefore only contains lipids originating from flour and eggs (i.e. endogenous batter lipids). Cake making includes three stages: (i) mixing the ingredients into a batter, (ii) baking the batter until a cake is formed and (iii) cooling the cake to room temperature. Batter of sponge cake is a foam and thus an intrinsically unstable structure because of ...
