  • The preparation and human taste detection of low degree of polymerization glucose oligomers

    Creator:
    Pullicin, Alexa J.
    Abstract:
    There is growing evidence that humans and other animals can taste certain starch hydrolysis products, namely, maltooligosaccharides (MOS), and that their detection is independent of the known sweet receptor, T1R2 T1R3. The overall goal of this study was to further investigate the taste perception of low degree-of-polymerization (DP) MOS in...

  • Cephalic phase insulin release : the role of oral glucose detection and its measurement in humans

    Creator:
    Pullicin, Alexa J.
    Abstract:
    Sensory stimulation from food-related cues elicits a number of rapid physiologic responses that prepare the gastrointestinal tract for efficient nutrient utilization and help minimize perturbations to metabolic homeostasis. Cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR) is one such response that specifically promotes glucose homeostasis by limiting the rise in blood sugar after...

  • Aflatoxin B₁ metabolism by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

    Creator:
    Schoenhard, Grant Louis
    Abstract:
    Aflatoxins B₁, Q₁ and aflatoxicol, R [subscript o] F, but not B₂ were activated in the presence of NADPH by the 105,000 x g pellet from rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), Mt. Shasta strain, liver to products lethal to Bacillus subtilis GSY 1057 (metB4, hisAl, uvr-1). Electron microscopy confirmed the microsomal...

  • The role of ethanol and certain ethyl esters in the fruity flavor defect of Cheddar cheese

    Creator:
    Bills, Donald D.
    Abstract:
    During the course of ripening, Cheddar cheese frequently develops a flavor defect described as fruity. Recent work has indicated that the use of certain starter cultures ultimately results in the development of the defect as the cheese ages. The flavor compounds responsible for the defect, however, have not been elaborated....

  • Differences in Taste Responses between Tongue Regions

    Creator:
    Colvin, Julie L.
    Abstract:
    Due to a combination of misinterpretation and misleading illustration, the premise of a “tongue map”, which indicated that sweetness could only be detected at the front of the tongue and bitterness could only be detected on the back, became wide spread. In fact, all taste qualities can be detected on...

  • Analytical approach to the quantitative analysis of silicon in plants : its application to plant silica extraction

    Creator:
    Boone, Carmen E.
    Abstract:
    The literature available on the silica content of herbaceous biomass, and its relative mobility in leaching/extraction systems, includes studies that have employed several different methods for silica quantification. This makes comparison of the data difficult. The objective of this thesis research was to determine the quantitative relationships between the measured...

  • Concentration of anserine and carnosine in surimi wash water and their antioxidant activity

    Creator:
    Kaur, Jasvinder
    Abstract:
    Anserine and carnosine are water-soluble dipeptides that have antioxidant properties and are found in the skeletal muscle of mammals and fishes. These dipeptides are removed through the washing process in surimi production. The objective of this research was to determine the concentration of anserine and carnosine in surimi wash water...

  • An improved procedure for holding round pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) post-catch

    Creator:
    Toledo-Flores, Luis Javier
    Abstract:
    Chilling (2-4°C) (10 min) in a solution containing 10% condensed phosphate, 5% potassium sorbate, and 0.9% citric acid (pH 6.7) stabilized round shrimp to microbial spoilage. This treatment procedure allowed refrigerated storage of round shrimp eliminating the need for ice and the accompanying deteriorative effects of water absorption and protein...

  • The Preparation and Human Taste Detection of Maltooligosaccharides with Varying Degrees of Polymerization

    Creator:
    Andrewson, Toren S.
    Abstract:
    Starch is a significant component of the human diet and the glucose produced through its digestion provides a critical source of energy. When starch enters the mouth, salivary α-amylase hydrolyzes it into maltooligosaccharides (MOS, degree of polymerization [DP] 3-20) and maltopolysaccharides (MPS, DP >20). Previous studies have found that humans...

  • The effect of irradiation with ultraviolet light on chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides : a review

    Creator:
    Banks, Kenneth A.
    Abstract:
    Pesticide chemists have recognized since the 1940's that ultraviolet light was deleterious to the insecticidal properties of certain compounds. However, it has been only within the last 15 years that a number of photodecomposition products of the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides have been isolated and identified. The degradation of insecticides by...
