An evaluation of blackberry harvest sanitation and the ability of foodborne pathogens to survive in blackberry products

Creator:: Sales, Melissa M.
Abstract:: Blackberries, genus Rubus, are an important Oregon agricultural commodity. In their fresh and processed forms, they offer many health benefits and may be able to help Americans better achieve fruit consumption recommendations because of convenience and pleasant sensory qualities. However, the susceptibility of blackberry products to contamination with bacterial pathogens...

Efficacy of electrolyzed oxidizing (EO) water combined with UV-C light or gas exchange on sanitization of Jalapeno pepper using Serratia marcesens as surrogate for Salmonella

Creator:: Ekundayo, Olufunmilayo R.
Abstract:: Jalapeño peppers are usually consumed raw and fresh with minimal processing. They contain antioxidants and bioactive compounds which are of human health benefits. There have been an increasing number of reports of foodborne outbreaks attributed to inaccessibility of sanitizers to Salmonella , E.coli and Listeria monocytogenes when embedded in fruit...

Efficacy of electrolyzed oxidizing water and ozonated water for microbialdecontamination of fresh strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa)

Creator:: Udompijitkul, Pathima
Abstract:: The objectives of this project were to evaluate the efficacies of electrolyzed oxidizing (EO) and ozonated waters as antimicrobial agents for enhancing the microbiological safety of fresh strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa). The influence of sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations used for preparing EO water was evaluated on their bactericidal activities against...

A comparison of two neuropsychological concussion assessment batteries

Creator:: Padilla, Diana M.
Abstract:: Objectives: To compare the neuropsychological concussion assessment testing batteries of the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC™) test and the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT™) test and determine if the tests measure similar neuropsychological functions as well as determine the test-retest reliability of the pre and post season measures...

The effects of defoliation on Bromus tectorum seed production and growth

Creator:: Mayer, Kara Hempy
Abstract:: Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is a widespread exotic weed in the Intermountain sagebrush steppe. An annual grass, it is highly prolific and very competitive with native perennial grass seedlings. A clipping experiment carried out at two cheatgrass-dominated sites (Lincoln Bench and Succor Creek) in eastern Oregon analyzed effects of defoliation...

Antimicrobial properties of a wine based disinfectant

Creator:: Waite, Joy G.
Abstract:: Wine has recently been shown to be a possible protective agent against microbial foodbome illness. The chemical environment of wine makes it difficult, if not impossible, for microorganisms to survive. The low pH, high concentration of organic acids, relatively high ethanol concentrations, and the potential for high levels of sulfur...

Effect of leg muscle fatigue on the contributions of the somatosensory, visual, and vestibular systems to balance

Creator:: Korioukhina, Maia O.
Abstract:: Objectives: To evaluate the effect of leg muscle fatigue on balance and to determine the contributions of the somatosensory, visual, and vestibular systems to balance of apparently healthy males and females. Design: Forty-two subjects were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control groups and then subdivided based on gender...

Antioxidant potential of yeast containing beer

Creator:: Morris, Edward E.
Abstract:: It has been suggested that cellular damage from oxygen radicals is one of the processes leading to cardio-vascular disease and cancer. Natural antioxidants prevent uncontrolled oxidative reactions by decreasing molecular oxygen levels, scavenging chain-initiating and chain-propagating free radicals, chelating metals, or decomposing peroxides. Beer is rich in antioxidants, derived both...

Performance in static, dynamic, and clinical tests of postural control in individuals with functional ankle instability

Creator:: Nakagawa, Lyn H.
Abstract:: Objectives: To evaluate postural control in individuals with functional ankle instability using static, dynamic, and clinical balance tests. Also, to examine the relationships between the performances in each of these tests. Design: Postural control was evaluated with a single leg balance test, a balance test involving movement, and the star...
