Bacillus subtilis endospore coat protein solubilization methods for studying effects of high pressure precessing

Creator:: Gandhi, Kalpesh K.
Abstract:: Spores of foodborne pathogens such as Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens and Bacillus cereus are widely distributed in nature. Presence of those spores in food products, particularly C. botulinum spores in vacuum packed, ready-to-eat low-acid products, is a great safety concern. The research here described is a first effort towards understanding...

Impact of parameter variability on the food process engineering calculations required for safety, quality and shelf-life estimations

Creator:: Chotyakul, Nattaporn
Abstract:: Quantitative procedures were developed to determine the effect of variability in the model parameters required for the estimation of microbial shelflife and thermal processing time. Monte Carlo simulations combined with these predictive models were implemented in Microsoft Excel™. In the first study, predictive models were used for shelf-life predictions based...

Survival Assessment, Inactivation Kinetics Models, and Farm-to-Table Quantitative Risk Analysis of Food Pathogens

Creator:: Deng, Kai
Abstract:: About 48 million cases of Foodborne illnesses (FBIs) are estimated to occur every year in the US. These are diseases caused by contamination of foods with bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites and toxic chemicals. Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) are an important health-care and community associated problem. Since C. difficile spores have...

Extraction and quantification of vitamins from raw, HTST, UHT, and PATP milk and of diatom-produced chitin and glucosamine

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...

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...

Effect of sensory properties and health information on consumer acceptance and purchase of colorful fresh market potatoes

Creator:: Wechsler, Linda J.
Abstract:: Potato varieties characterized by non-conventional skin and flesh colors (purple, red, yellow) have the potential to revitalize consumer demand for fresh market potatoes because of their unique appearance and health benefits. Red and purple potatoes contain anthocyanins, which are flavonoids responsible for red, blue, and purple pigments in plants. Yellow...

Commercial application of high pressure processing for inactivating Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Ma, Lei
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative, halophilic pathogen that occurs naturally in coastal and estuarine environments. This human pathogen is frequently isolated from a variety of seafood, particular oysters, and is the leading cause of gastroenteritis associated with seafood consumption. Several outbreaks of V. parahaemolyticus infections linked to consumption of raw...

Quantification of fructose equivalents in straw extracts

Creator:: Kim, Eugene
Abstract:: Cereal and commercial grass-seed straws are abundant plant biomass materials that are currently being considered for application in industrial processes aimed at the production of biofuels, biomaterials, and biochemicals. The carbohydrate fraction of these straws is of particular interest in this context due to its chemical functionality and relative ease...

Factors Affecting the Efficacy of Depuration for Decreasing Vibrio parahaemolyticus Contamination in Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Hou, Yishu
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a foodborne pathogen recognized as the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis associated with consumption of raw and undercooked seafood, particularly raw oysters, with major symptoms of nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. It is estimated that 45,000 cases of V. parahaemolyticus infection occur each year in the...

Spatiotemporal Distributions of Bacteria in the Cheddar Production Environment

Creator:: Johnson, Jared D.
Abstract:: Given the many significant roles that bacteria play in modern food manufacturing, it is crucial that we have a fundamental understanding of how bacterial communities assemble and behave in the food manufacturing environment. The focus of this dissertation was to investigate both the spatial and temporal distributions of microbial communities...
