The objectives were to investigate the ability of a two-factor
central composite rotatable design (CCRD), using cooking temperature
(CT) and endpoint temperature (ET) as independent variables, to
predict selected chemical, physical and sensory meat quality
characteristics considered important by the industry, researcher and
consumer alike. Response surface analysis (RSA) was...
Four different heating treatments with two different methods of
cooking were applied to soybeans. The treatments were boiling 20 min,
autoclaving 5 min, 10 min, or 20 min, after soaking the beans for 10 hr
at 25°C.
Vitamin B-6 and free folacin in cooking water were significantly
(P<0.05) affected by...
This study investigated the influence of microwave and
broiling cooking methods on quality parameters of portion size
cuts of beef semitendinosus muscle subjected to pre-rigor
pressure treatment. The pre-rigor pressurized beef was compared
to conventionally processed portion size cuts. Juiciness,
tenderness, and flavor were evaluated by objective and
subjective tests....
The effects of early season and late season drought stress on
various carbohydrates, calcium and/or nitrogen content at apical,
central and basal tuber locations were studied for Russet Burbank
and A082260-8 potatoes. Drought stress which occurred early in the
stage of tuber development appeared to have more detrimental effect
than...
The influence of alfalfa fiber level 28, 54 and 74% in diets on
the proximate compositions, pH and water-holding capacity of raw and
cooked rabbit meat were investigated.
Preslaughter live weight, percent dress weight and percent
abdominal fat of rabbits fed 54% alfalfa fiber diet were
significantly higher and total...
This study was undertaken to: 1) determine the
relationship between community college counselor role
congruence and job satisfaction and 2) to consider
factors that contribute to or depreciate counselor role
congruence and job satisfaction.
The subjects consisted of four groups that were
compared in terms of their perceptions of community...
The purpose of the dissertation was to investigate
(certain aspects of) the host-parasite relationship between
the laboratory rabbit and the pathogen, Pasteurella multocida.
The focus of the present endeavor was to provide new
insight into this field of study by the adaptation of novel
microbiologic approaches and the application of...
This dissertation addresses the problem of how best to share purchasing specifications among the community colleges of the State of Oregon. In order for Oregon's community college administrators who are responsible for the acquisition of goods and services for vocational and other programs to perform successfully, it requires the development...
The purpose of the research project was to teach the management
of perpetual and periodic inventory systems to university students in
the field of food systems management through the use of a microcomputer
software program developed for this purpose. The objective
of the study was to determine the classroom simulation's...
