Creator:: Chotyakul, Nattaporn
Abstract:: Analytical chemistry is an essential qualitative and quantitative tool to describe foods and biomaterials and their changes during production, processing and distribution. In this work, rapid analytical procedures for the extraction and quantification of components in fluid milk and diatom fermentation broth were developed. Analytical methods to measure the concentration...

Creator:: Aagesen, Alisha M.
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative, halophilic, human pathogenic bacterium ubiquitous in the marine environment. Like many Vibrio species, V. parahaemolyticus commonly associates with shellfish, particularly oysters. Ingestion of a raw or under cooked oysters contaminated with V. parahaemolyticus can cause gastroenteritis, which is typically self-limiting and rarely causes death. Globally,...

Creator:: Okada, Tomoko
Abstract:: Intrinsic characteristics of Pacific sardines were determined. The lipid content in sardines was initially low (6.79%) in the beginning ofthe season, increased to 22.95% in mid-August, and decreased slightly by the end of September. An inverse correlation (R² = -0.90) was found between lipid and moisture content. Analysis showed that...

Creator:: Rasmussen, Rosalee S.
Abstract:: There are seven commercially important species of salmon and trout (genera Oncorhynchus and Salmo) in North America, many of which are closely related but command markedly different prices. The purpose of this research was to provide improved and novel methods for the detection of salmon species substitution on the commercial...

Creator:: Chen, Chi-Shen
Abstract:: The primary purpose of this study was to try to (1) provide information on the chemical nature, including turbidity formation, of polygalacturonic acid in different concentrations of NaCl solution. (2) use turbidity formation characteristics to develop an assay for determining the activities polygalacturonic acid depolymerases by using a polyelectrolyte. (3)...
