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...

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...

Surimi wash water treatment by chitosan-alginate complexes : effect of molecular weight and degree of deacetylation of chitosan and nutritional evaluation of solids recovered by the treatment

Creator:: Wibowo, Singgih
Abstract:: Soluble surimi wash water (SWW) proteins could be recovered using chitosan (Chi) complexed with alginate (Chi-Alg) generating co-products for feed formulations. Chi with a degree of deacetylation (DD) of 84% complexed with Alg at a mixing ratio (MR) of 0.2 was used to study Chi-Alg concentration and treatment time protein...

Characterization of Pacific whiting proteinase P-II and partial cloning of cathepsins L and K cDNA from rainbow trout liver

Creator:: Nickel, Xianbin F.
Abstract:: Proteinase P-II purified from parasitized Pacific whiting muscle was previously identified to be one form of cathepsin L. It appeared to be present in three isozymatic forms on non-denaturing PAGE gel stained for activity. Its autolytic degradation was observed on SDS-PAGE gel under its optimum condition, 55°C and pH 5.5,...

Molecular mechanism of germination of Clostridium perfringens spores

Creator:: Paredes-Sabja, Daniel
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of a wide variety of diseases in animals and humans. C. perfringens can produce more than 15 toxins. However, individual strains produce a subset of these toxins. Although a small percentage of C. perfringens isolates (mostly belonging to type A) produce C. perfringens enterotoxin...

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...

Contribution of Farm Level Milk Sourcing on Non-Starter Lactic Acid Bacteria (NSLAB) in Cheddar, and the Assessment of High Resolution Melt Analysis used for Species Identification

Creator:: Baird, Christopher S.
Abstract:: Non-starter lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB) are found at low levels in fresh raw milk and are important to the dairy industry because of their potential impact on the flavor and texture of yogurt, sour cream, and cheese. The purpose of this study was to evaluate three methods for the identification...

Characterization of factors affecting pectinmethylesterase activity in cucumber fruit

Creator:: Turk, Farzaneh
Abstract:: Pectinmethylesterase (PME) activity in fresh cucumber fruit was determined. The effects of several cationic species, temperature, pH, and acetic acid on the activity of cucumber PME was investigated. The efficacy of blanching, infiltration with CaCl₂ or acetic acid, and fermentation with 0 and 40 mM CaCl₂ on inhibition of cucumber...

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 preparation of common prebiotic oligosaccharides with defined degree of polymerization

Creator:: Ooi, Megan C. Y.
Abstract:: Prebiotics are a subset of dietary fiber that is growing in demand within the food industry. The health benefits of prebiotics have been well established, leading to the increase in its incorporation into various food products. Given the importance of prebiotics as functional ingredients, it is important to understand their...
