Evaluation of feedstocks for cellulosic ethanol and bioproducts production in the Northwest

Creator:: Miller, Wesley C. (Wesley Clair)
Abstract:: Cellulosic ethanol production for transportation fuel is one source to help satisfy the increasing worldwide demand for energy and depletion of the fossil fuel supply. Evaluating potential production from plants and waste in Oregon, Washington and Idaho is the purpose of this study. Reed Canary grass, Annual Ryegrass, wheat straw,...

Substrate production of blueberry : evaluation of soilless media and potassium, nitrogen fertility on growth and nutrition

Creator:: Kingston, Patrick H.
Abstract:: As blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) production has increased in recent decades, a new interest has developed in the cultivation of blueberry in soilless substrate containers. Historically, blueberry has been propagated and grown in soilless substrate at nurseries, but nursery production is short in duration and plants are small relative to a...

Mercury levels in albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) and the effects of canning

Creator:: Rasmussen, Rosalee S.
Abstract:: Mercury is a toxic heavy metal released into the environment from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The organic form of mercury is a potent neurotoxin that is especially dangerous to developing nervous systems. Results of recent studies have caused the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency...

Development of a High Throughput Method for Screening of Clean-Label Mold Inhibitors in Cheddar Cheese

Creator:: Kornberg, Kaitlyn R.
Abstract:: Mold growth on cheddar-style cheese, though not a food safety issue, causes significant loss to the industry due to consumer rejection. For this reason, it is common for at-risk products, such as cheese shreds, to be coated with the mold inhibitor natamycin. While highly effective at extending shelf-life, preferences for...

Development of antioxidant dietary fibers from wine grape pomace and their applications as functional food ingredients

Creator:: Tseng, Angela Y.
Abstract:: Wine grape pomace (WGP), the byproduct from winemaking, is a good source of polyphenols and dietary fibers, and may be utilized as antioxidant dietary fibers (ADF) for food applications. The objectives of this thesis research were to first determine the phenolic compounds, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in red WGP under...

Efficacy of electrolyzed oxidizing (EO) water combined with UV-C light or gas exchange on sanitization of Jalapeno pepper using Serratia marcesens as surrogate for Salmonella

Creator:: Ekundayo, Olufunmilayo R.
Abstract:: Jalapeño peppers are usually consumed raw and fresh with minimal processing. They contain antioxidants and bioactive compounds which are of human health benefits. There have been an increasing number of reports of foodborne outbreaks attributed to inaccessibility of sanitizers to Salmonella , E.coli and Listeria monocytogenes when embedded in fruit...

Reduction of Salmonella spp. on In-shell Hazelnuts Using Continuous Steam Blanching and Prevalence of Salmonella spp. on In-shell Oregon Hazelnuts

Creator:: Letchworth, Christopher A.
Abstract:: Tree nuts have been implicated in a number of foodborne outbreaks and recalls in recent years linked to enteric pathogens, particularly Salmonella. Therefore, prior to distribution and marketing, it is necessary to understand the biological risks associated with the consumption of tree nuts and to find effective methods to inactivate...

Human bitterness detection thresholds of hop acids in beer and honey

Creator:: Kolpin, Kathryn M.
Abstract:: Alpha acids are found in the lupulin glands of hops cones. These acids have no bitterness of their own, but can be isomerized and subsequently hydrogenated to form bitter iso-α-acids and tetrahydroiso-α-acids respectively. Current literature values for the detection thresholds of iso-α-acid and tetrahydroiso-α-acid in lager beer have been reported...

An Investigation of Seasonal Microbiome Changes in Raw Milk from Organic and Conventional Dairy Farms in Oregon

Creator:: Van De Grift, Daria S.
Abstract:: Raw milk microbiome is important to food safety and security. However, understanding the complexities of how the dairy farm environment may affect the microbiome is difficult. Since there are a variety of operating parameters for dairy farmers to use on their farms, each farming environment is unique. What makes the...

Important Considerations for Food Process Validations : Strain Selection, Contamination Level, and Relevant Treatment Conditions

Creator:: Pearson, Eva
Abstract:: Reports of foodborne outbreaks have increased in the last decade, posing a public health risk to consumers. In an attempt to mitigate this risk, the newly established Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA) takes a preventive rather than reactive approach to food safety. Under FSMA, producers are required to validate...
