Initial velocity analyses of milling effects on rates of enzyme-catalyzed saccharification of native wheat straw

Creator:: Nguyen, Quynh M.
Abstract:: There is considerable interest in developing environmentally friendly processes for the economical conversion of biomass plant material to biofuels, bioproducts and biomaterials. One approach to such a conversion process is to make use of enzymes for the conversion of plant polysaccharides to simple sugars; the simple sugars could then be...

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...

Foam enhancing properties of hop bitter acids and propylene glycol alginate

Creator:: Kunimune, Takeshi
Abstract:: The following two projects have been carried out to clarify the impact of these foam stabilizers, and to compare their foam stabilizing power to one another as well as the cling ability. The first project investigated the impacts of four commercially available hop- derived foam stabilizers; iso-alpha-acid (Iso), rho(dyhydro)-iso-alpha-acid (Rho),...

Comminution of Fish Frame Byproduct: Impact on Constituent Solvent-Accessibility, Alkaline Protein Extraction, and Isoelectric Precipitation

Creator:: Gaspich, Bryan
Abstract:: The seafood industry has a problem of underutilization of harvested and processed fish. Up to 60% of the weight of the fish is considered a byproduct that is typically made into fishmeal for livestock and aquaculture feed, a low-value and non-food grade product. Two species that make up major fisheries...

Understanding the flavor alterations associated with smoke taint and evaluation of interstimulus protocols to mitigate carryover bias in sensory evaluation of wildfire affected wines

Creator:: Fryer, Jenna A.
Abstract:: First recorded as a problem in 2003, wildfire smoke has been found to affect wine grapes and lead to alterations to a wine’s flavor profile. Smoke can carry organic volatile compounds over vast distances, which can then be deposited on grapes and are absorbed into the grape’s cells. These compounds...

Physicochemical properties of Alaska pollock surimi as affected by salinity and freeze-thaw cycles

Creator:: Kang, Ey Jung
Abstract:: The effects of the residual salt of surimi on biochemical and physical properties as affected by various freeze and thaw cycles were examined. Fresh Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) surimi was mixed with 4.0% sugar, and 5.0% sorbitol, along with eight combinations of salt (0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 % NaCl)...

Rework Practices in the Dairy Industry and Their Potential Contribution to Microbial Spoilage

Creator:: Rush, Casey E.
Abstract:: Rework is a common practice in the dairy industry as a way for processors to minimize waste while recovering costs for dairy products that are unsaleable. The regulations available for reworking fluid dairy products only outline product eligibility requirements with a focus on repasteurization of the products containing rework as...

Influence of Fermentation Temperature and Nutrient Addition Schedules on Sensory and Chemical Characteristics of Traditional Honey Wine

Creator:: Twilley, John M.
Abstract:: Honey wine, also known as mead, is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages known to man. Made primarily from honey, water, and yeast, this beverage has recently been experiencing a resurgence in popularity. It is imperative that commercial producers focus on consistently creating quality products to differentiate themselves from competitors...

Investigation of film forming properties of beta-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and improvement of water solubility of beta-chitosan, Investigation of film forming properties of β-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and improvement of water solubility of β-chitosan

Creator:: Chen, Jeremy L.
Abstract:: The objectives of this project were to investigate the critical factors impacting the physicochemical and antibacterial properties of β-chitosan based films derived from jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) pens, and to evaluate the feasibility of improving water solubility of β-chitosan through Maillard reaction. The studies examined the effect of molecular weight...
