Physical, chemical and sensory attributes were
examined on canned green beans (Oregon 1604) of sieve sizes
3 & 4 and 5 & 6 after one and three months of storage at
room temperature (RT). The green beans subjected to
different pre-blanch conditions in water (T1t1: 160°F - 30
min.; T1t2:...
Maintaining the structural integrity of cell walls
largely determines the texture of fruit products during
freezing processes. Strawberries undergo major textural
changes when frozen, and varietal differences in quality
after thawing are not readily predicted from mechanical
and sensory testing of the fresh fruit. The objectives of
this study were...
Several compounds have been shown to induce the mixed function
oxidase enzyme system of animals, and also to inhibit tumor formation.
Included in this category are several vegetables and isolated
vegetable components from the Cruciferae family. In this
study rainbow trout were fed blanched freeze-dried cauliflower,
broccoli, or Brussel sprouts...
Wines were made from Pinot Noir and White Riesling grapes
which had received field application rates of 2 and 4 lb./acre of the
experimental bird repellent Mesurol (methiocarb or 3, 5 dimethyl-
4(methylthio)phenylmethylcarbamate). In addition, Pinot Noir must
and press juice and White Riesling press juice were fortified with
15...
The purpose of this study was to extract proteins from lentils for
use in bread making to improve nutritional quality of bread. Three
solvents, distilled water, 0.7 M NaCl and 0.05 M NaOH solutions, were
used for extraction. Extractions were done at an alkaline pH near 10
for 30 min....
Three studies were designed to evaluate the promoting
effect of cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) on avian myeloblastosis
virus (AMV) infection in White Leghorn chickens.
In the first study effects on growth parameters, blood serum
and erythrocyte lipid composition of White Leghorn chickens
were investigated at 100 ppm and 300 ppm...
This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of maturity, mold contamination and variety on the color quality of strawberry wines. Indices for acceptability were determined using instrumental measurements and sensory analysis. Compositional analyses were done on the fully ripe and overripe Benton and Totem strawberries. Included were anthocyanin content,...
Means of reducing the quantity of water required for the washing
unit operation in surimi processing were evaluated. The yield of flesh
mechanically dewatered with a screw press and the degree of reduction in
trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) content were used as indices of washing
efficiency. Variations in water:minced flesh ratio,...
