Oregon strawberries are known for their high quality, intense flavor, sweetness, and rich red color. With optimal weather conditions, including rainy and mild seasons, Oregon has one of the best strawberry farming environments. Amongst the factors for a suitable strawberry farming environment, soil significantly influences strawberry growth and quality. The...
Biochemical properties, functional properties, and market potential of Pacific whiting (PW) fish sauce were investigated. Biochemical properties of fish sauce made from whole fish (W) and a mixture (1:1) of whole fish and surimi byproducts (WB) were compared. Market potential was evaluated through phone interviews and consumer panelists. Proteolysis was...
There are presently two successful methods used to refine fish muscle proteins: surimi and fish protein isolate (FPI). Both surimi and FPI have the ability to form an elastic gel upon comminution and heating. However, their gelation behaviors are different as they are refined in a biochemically opposite way based...
Optimization of comminuting and heating conditions for surimi gel preparation obtained from three fish species: Alaska pollock (AP) (Theragra chalcogramma), Pacific whiting (PW) (Merluccius productus), and threadfin bream (TB) (Nemipterus spp.) was the focus of this study. Three parameters during comminution were separately evaluated: chopping time, chopping temperature, and salting...

Optimization of comminuting and heating conditions for surimi gel preparation
A novel method for isolating fish proteins by shifting pH to high acid or high alkali pH was the focus of the study. Biochemical and physicochemical properties of various pH-treated soluble fish proteins as a function of ionic strength were determined. Effect of ionic strength and various storage conditions on...
Increased sales of surimi seafood, with the majority as crabstick in the United States indicates that surimi based products are becoming more popular. With growing popularity, there is increased competition for market share. Under these circumstances, some companies may be willing to sacrifice product quality in order to facilitate manufacture...

protein. The protein content and quality of raw surimi are varied by fish
Gadoid fish, like Alaska pollock and Pacific whiting, have a high level of trimethylamine-N-oxide demethylase (TMAOase) that catalyzes the breakdown of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) to formaldehyde (FA) and dimethylamine (DMA) even during frozen storage. FA reacts with amino acid residues to promote covalent cross-links in the formation of inter- and intramolecular...

The influence of boundary layer pumping on an externally-forced
synoptic-scale flow is examined. The results follow earlier theories of
stratified incompressible Boussinesq flow. These theories state that
the spin-down time scale and the penetration depth of the influence of
boundary layer pumping are inversely proportional to the stratification
and directly...
