Due to the scarcity of information concerning the oxidase systems
in cranberries the peroxidase, catalase, and polyphenolase systems,
which are used as biochemical indexes of adequacy for enzyme inactivation
in other fruits and vegetables, were investigated.
Enzyme extracts were prepared from acetone powders with and
without phenol-binding agents such as...
Cranberries are processed mainly for the production of jelly,
sauce and juice. The content of pectic substances in the cranberry
gives the fruit a desirable property for processing such products.
Pectic enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of pectic substances
may affect the consistency of these products.
The concern of this...

The purpose of the study was to investigate the nature of marital
interaction that occurs at the point at which couples with problems
seek assistance from an agency specifically designed to deal with
marital problems. Efforts were made to learn more about the nature
of the marital relationship in general,...
A mixed initial and boundary value problem is considered for
a partial differential equation of the form Muₜ(x, t)+Lu(x, t)=0,
where M and L are elliptic differential operators of orders 2 m
and 2l, respectively, with m ≤ l. The existence and uniqueness
of a strong solution of this equation...
During the course of ripening, Cheddar cheese frequently develops
a flavor defect described as fruity. Recent work has indicated
that the use of certain starter cultures ultimately results in the
development of the defect as the cheese ages. The flavor compounds
responsible for the defect, however, have not been elaborated....
The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of
heterosis in three complex traits in barley and to investigate the
concept of component interaction as a means of producing heterosis.
The complex traits were grain yield, total leaf area, and malting
quality.
Seven varieties of spring barley were...
The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of
hosiery made from a new fiber, polypropylene, with the performance
of hosiery made from a better known fiber, nylon, and to get
some indication of consumer reaction to a new textile product.
Information was obtained through two wear tests...
Ethanolysis reactions were conducted on the flavonoids, such
as, catechin, quercetin and dihydroquercetin, and polymeric phenolic
components from conifer barks, such as, mountain hemlock phlobatannin
and Douglas-fir phlobaphene with the object of ascertaining
their chemical relationship. These reactions were carried out with
absolute ethanol in the presence of 2.5% hydrogen...
