A business feasibility tool for artisan cheese operation start-up

Creator:: Bouma, Andrea
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to develop a decision making tool to determine economic feasibility of artisan cheese operations. A survey of current Oregon artisan cheese companies was used to gain knowledge of the fixed and variable costs associated with cheese production and business start-up. The data from this...

A Comprehensive Evaluation of the Nonvolatile Chemistry Affecting the Sensory Bitterness Intensity of Highly Hopped Beers

Creator:: Hahn, Christina
Abstract:: The range of different nonvolatile constituents extracted from hops in highly hopped beers suggests that iso-alpha acids may not be the sole contributor to beers’ bitterness. Among brewers producing hop-forward beer styles there is a growing concern that the Bitterness Unit (BU) is no longer an accurate predictor of beer...

A guide to the fermentation and distillation of whey for potable spirit production

Creator:: Risner, Derrick
Abstract:: Whey is co-product of cheese production and is produced at 9:1 whey to cheese ratio. Whey is broadly classified into two types, sweet and acid whey. Large cheese manufacturers have developed whey processing techniques to convert sweet whey into value added products such as protein powders and emulsifiers. Acid whey...

A study of factors affecting the extraction of flavor when dry hopping beer

Creator:: Wolfe, Peter Harold
Abstract:: This work set out to examine the methodologies of dry hopping, compare different hop materials, and look at the extraction behavior of different types of hop compounds. This work consists of two discrete studies, where the first study informed the design of the second. The first study measured the concentrations...

Addressing sodium reduction and pathogen internalization in non-intact whole muscle beef : evaluation of dehydrated collagen and hydrostatic pressure as impact technologies

Creator:: Lowder, Austin Cole
Abstract:: These studies focused on maximizing the nutrition and safety of raw whole muscle beef while minimizing quality and shelf-life alteration. The first study used response surface methodology to predict fluid loss from injected beef strip loins and steaks as influenced by levels of salt and sodium phosphates (SP) in the...

An evaluation of blackberry harvest sanitation and the ability of foodborne pathogens to survive in blackberry products

Creator:: Sales, Melissa M.
Abstract:: Blackberries, genus Rubus, are an important Oregon agricultural commodity. In their fresh and processed forms, they offer many health benefits and may be able to help Americans better achieve fruit consumption recommendations because of convenience and pleasant sensory qualities. However, the susceptibility of blackberry products to contamination with bacterial pathogens...

Analysis of proanthocyanidin A2 and its presence in various commercial products

Creator:: Koerner, Jayma L.
Abstract:: Proanthocyanidins (PACs) containing A-type linkages, like those found in cranberry, have been implicated as beneficial phenolic compounds in human health, but much research is still required to better understand their activity fully. One major impediment to progress has been the existence of effective analytical methods for A-type PAC quantification. This...

Application of Antimicrobial Substance in Depuration for Decreasing Vibrio Parahaemolyticus Contamination in the Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Shen, Xiaoye
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading cause of foodborne illnesses associated with seafood consumption. Consuming raw or undercooked seafood contaminated with V. parahaemolyticus can result in development of acute gastroenteritis with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping and watery diarrhea within 24 hours of infection. Illness is usually self-limited and lasts...

Application of probiotics and green tea extract in post-harvest processes of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) for reducing Vibrio parahaemolyticus and extending shelf life

Creator:: Xi, Dunyu
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a human pathogen which is prevalent in marine environment. Consumption of raw or undercooked seafood contaminated with V. parahaemolyticus can cause foodborne illness. This study investigated the application of probiotics in depuration for reducing V. parahaemolyticus in raw Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and the utilization of green...

Aroma-active compounds in 'Centennial', 'Citra' and 'Nelson Sauvin' hop varieties and their aroma contribution to dry-hopped beer

Creator:: Feng, Shi
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to 1) measure and compare the compositional differences of essential oil among three hop cultivars ('Centennial’, 'Citra' and 'Nelson Sauvin'), 2) identify the odor-active aroma compounds in three varieties of hops and 3) investigate the behavior of hop-derived aroma compounds in beers prepared by...
