A method based on fatty acid (FA) analysis is used to profile microbial community structure (MCS). Various extraction protocols are available, which alter the types of FAs extracted from soils. The more time consuming but widely used protocol extracts only FAs from phospholipids (PLFA). This technique is desirable because PLFAs...
This thesis involves analyses of 3₂-helices, a-helices and of the change in residual
entropy of a protein upon chemical modification. Part of the long-term goal of
understanding the formation, function and stability of proteins requires that all
conformations be accurately assigned and structurally understood. By a statistical
analysis of 258...
The taste qualities of acidulants have not been studied in detail despite
the fact that they are widely used by the food industry. Studies on
characterizing the sensory properties of organic and inorganic acids are very
limited. Reported studies are commonly on threshold, equi-sour and the time
intensity values of...
Developing steelhead trout eggs and sac fry were examined for
wet, dry and lipid weights and for fatty acid composition over the
period from fertilization until the disappearance of the yolk sac, 69
days after fertilization. The yolk sac and embryo or fry were
separated shortly before hatching, and the...
In this study subcutaneous, inter- and intramuscular fats from 42
Hereford steers were analyzed for their fatty acid composition using
gas-liquid chromatography. The same tissues were analyzed from one
pair each of identical twins of Angus and Shorthorn breeding. Muscle
and liver lipids from these latter four animals were fractionated...
