  • Analysis of proanthocyanidin A2 and its presence in various commercial products

    Creator:
    Koerner, Jayma L.
    Abstract:
    Proanthocyanidins (PACs) containing A-type linkages, like those found in cranberry, have been implicated as beneficial phenolic compounds in human health, but much research is still required to better understand their activity fully. One major impediment to progress has been the existence of effective analytical methods for A-type PAC quantification. This...

  • Effect of berry integrity on proanthocyanidin extraction during wine production

    Creator:
    Cerpa-Calderon, Fiorella Karen
    Abstract:
    Proanthocyanidins are a grape-derived phenolic class of compound that provide wine with bitterness and astringency. Because of this, proanthocyanidins are considered to be essential components of wine quality. Proanthocyanidins are localized in the seed, skin and stem tissue of the grape berry and the composition of proanthocyanidins will vary depending...

  • Composition of flavonoid phenolic polymers isolated from red wine during maceration and significance of flavan-3-ols in foods pertaining to biological activity

    Creator:
    Aron, Patricia M.
    Abstract:
    Representing the most common flavonoid consumed in the American diet, the flavanols and their polymeric condensation products, the proanthocyanidins, are regarded as functional ingredients in various beverages, whole and processed foods, herbal remedies and supplements. Their presence in food affects food quality parameters including astringency, bitterness, sourness, sweetness, salivary viscosity,...

  • Assessing the impact of temperature on grape phenolic metabolism

    Creator:
    Cohen, Seth D.
    Abstract:
    Many climatic factors influence grape berry composition including nutrient status, water availability, biotic stress, sun exposure and temperature. Previous research examined the effects of many factors listed above and much progress has been made. It is often difficult, however, to separate effects that typically confound each other, such as sun...

  • Development of anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins in Pinot noir grapes and their extraction into wine

    Creator:
    Pastor del Rio, Jose L.
    Abstract:
    Color stability and mouth feel quality are two of the most important aspects of red wine quality. Anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins are responsible for these attributes and it has been shown that weather conditions during the growing season and grape maturity can effect these components in wine. However, investigations into proanthocyanidin...

  • Effect of chemical composition on textural quality of red wine

    Creator:
    Ntuli, Richard Gondai
    Abstract:
    Red wine texture is a particularly important property of overall red wine quality whose origin is not well understood. The overall goal of this study was to improve our understanding of how chemical composition influences red wine texture. Unlike previous studies that have used model systems to investigate how chemical...

  • Evaluation of wet brewers' grain ensiled with low quality forages

    Creator:
    Kennedy, Matthew A. (Matthew August)
    Abstract:
    Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of wet brewers' grain (WBG) alone and with straw so it can be used as part of the sole ration for ruminants. In Exp. 1, WBG was ensued alone and was mixed with one of two straws, wheat or tall fescue grass...

  • Effects of oil and natural gas development on territory occupancy of ferruginous hawks and golden eagles in Wyoming, USA

    Creator:
    Wallace, Zachary P.
    Abstract:
    Energy development is expanding rapidly across the western US. Negative effects have been documented for some wildlife, but consequences of development are unclear for other taxa, including raptors. We had the opportunity to examine effects of oil and natural gas development on two raptor species of conservation concern, ferruginous hawks...

  • Simulating changing diameter distributions in a softwood sawmill

    Creator:
    Salichon, Maxence C.
    Abstract:
    Sawmills are very complex systems that involve many manufacturing processes. The variability of their raw material adds further to this complexity as each log has characteristics that determine its processing path. Therefore, computer simulation is a very useful technique for analyzing sawmill performance. This thesis describes a simulation computer model...

  • Potential utilization of western juniper residues

    Creator:
    Sichamba, Kennedy
    Abstract:
    Logging and forest thinning operations generate large amounts of residues in the form of small trees, branches and foliage that are usually left on the ground to decay or are burned. These resources are readily available, but it is uneconomical to remove them from the forest. The potential utilization of...
