  • Sesame oil increases plasma γ-tocopherol and inhibits γ-tocopherol metabolism in humans

    Creator:
    Lee, Sangeun
    Abstract:
    In rats, sesame lignans increase plasma γ-tocopherol concentrations and inhibit γ-tocopherol degradation to its metabolite γ-carboxyethylhydroxychroman (γ-CEHC). To test if sesame lignan consumption inhibits γ- tocopherol metabolism in humans, muffins prepared with either corn oil (control) or sesame oil and an equimolar mixture of deuterium labeled d6-α- and d2-γ- tocopheryl...

  • Locally grown alternative feed ingredients in turkey diets

    Creator:
    Sulaiman, Kurdman Mohammed Ali
    Abstract:
    In recent years, small poultry producers have been interested in finding an alternative for corn and soybean for a variety of reasons. Health concerns related to either naturally occurring isoflavones (phytoestrogens) or their genetically modified organism (GMO) status are the primary considerations behind this trend. Secondly, the recent high prices...

  • Chemical composition of dietary fiber and polyphenols of wine grape pomace skins and development of wine grape (cv. Merlot) pomace extract based films

    Creator:
    Deng, Qian
    Abstract:
    The objectives of this project were to investigate the chemical composition of five varieties of wine grape pomace (WGP) skins obtained in the Pacific Northwest of the United States with the emphasis on dietary fiber (DF) and polyphenolic compounds, and further to evaluate the feasibility of developing WGP extract based...

  • Investigation of Optimal Extraction Conditions and Microencapsulation Technique for Stabilizing Anthocyanins and Polyphenols from Fruit Materials

    Creator:
    Wang, Wenjie
    Abstract:
    The objectives of this research were to investigate the optimal conditions for anthocyanins extraction from different anthocyanin rich fruit and to develop microencapsulation formulation for improving stability of anthocyanin extracts. In the extraction optimization study, two extraction methods, "conventional solvent extraction (CE)" and "ultrasound-assisted extraction (UE)" for three different anthocyanin-rich...

  • Improving the nutritional and textural properties of dairy products by feeding Holstein cows processed flaxseed

    Creator:
    Oeffner, Scott P.
    Abstract:
    There is growing public concern about the high proportion of saturated fatty acids in milk fat; however, feed intake, energy partitioning toward milk synthesis, and milk fat concentrations can decrease when cows are fed high concentrations of unsaturated lipids. The objective of this study was to identify the optimal rate...

  • Hydrogeology and Hydrologic Connectivity of a Semiarid Central Oregon Rangeland System

    Creator:
    Caruso, Philip
    Abstract:
    The hydrologic function of a landscape is an important concept for understanding the presence, movement and availability of water. The Camp Creek Paired Watershed Study (CCPWS) site in Central Oregon has been utilized to investigate the impacts of western juniper on watershed hydrologic function since 1993. The research presented here...

  • Preparation and modification of cellooligosaccharides

    Creator:
    Akpinar, Ozlem
    Abstract:
    Cellooligosaccharides are the reaction intermediates produced during the hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose. Hence, they have the same chemical structure as cellulose, just shorter chain lengths. Cellooligosaccharides up to DP eight are soluble in water. The soluble cellooligosaccharides can be used "as is" in the food industry as non-digestible oligosaccharides...

  • Development of a method to measure protein in red wines : a survey of protein, mannan and tannin in Pinot noir wines

    Creator:
    Smith, Mark R.
    Abstract:
    A number of methods to isolate and quantify protein in Pinot noir wines were evaluated. The combination of precipitation by acetone containing 10% w/v trichloroacetic acid followed by quantification with the Bradford assay, reported in yeast invertase equivalents yielded the most accurate results when compared to micro-Kjeldahl analysis. The technique...

  • 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...

  • Effects of early rearing environment on learning ability and behavior in laying hens

    Creator:
    Morris, Hannah M.
    Abstract:
    The effects of enriching the rearing environment of laying hens on their learning ability and behavior were investigated. Day old ISA brown layer chicks were group housed in open floor pens that were either enriched or unenriched. The enriched rooms contained visual stimuli in the form of hanging decorations, auditory...
