Inheritance of the volatile components in bush snap beans,
O.S.U. 58-110 X 'Romano' cross and reciprocal, was determined
using gas-liquid chromatographic technique with gas-entrainment
on-column trapping. A sample of 10 to 14 pods averaging 5 grams
from a single plant was found to be adequate for F₁, F₂, and backcross...
Measures to prevent progressive collapse of structures include protection of critical elements such as columns. In support of this goal, nine tests were conducted to assess the as-built performance of typical columns and the effectiveness of carbon fiber jackets in improving their performance. A quasi-static load protocol was developed to...
The behavior of six herbicides in soil was studied under controlled laboratory conditions. Sorption of bromacil, chiorotoluron and diuron was assessed by the batch equilibration procedure over a broad range of aqueous phase sorbate concentration. Linear equilibrium sorption constants (K[subscript p]) were slightly higher at 4° C than at 25°...
Heat treated orange juice, both pasteurized and concentrate, are being increasingly
consumed in the U.S. Orange juice is primarily heat treated to increase its shelf life, by
curbing the growth of microorganisms; and to inactivate pectin methylesterase, which
demethylates pectin and leads to cloud loss in the juice. However, because...
The phenolic profile of pineapple juice was analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC/Diode Array Detector, and 9 major peaks accounting for 70% of total peak area were characterized. None of these peaks are represented by the pineapple phenolics reported to be present by previous workers. Most of the major peaks are not...
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the moderating role of hedonic shopping value in shopping experience satisfaction in the context of clothing shopping. Hedonic shopping value is an emotional and hedonic appreciation of shopping. According to the existing literature, consumers' hedonic shopping value is associated with several...
Proceedings of the 69th Annual Western Orchard Pest and Disease Management Conference, held January 11-13, 1995 at the Imperial Hotel in Portland, Oregon.
Natural products from plants, bacteria, and fungi play an important role in society. Over the last 35 years, natural products and their derivatives have inspired over 60% of all FDA approved small-molecule drugs, and are among the top prescribed therapeutics.1-2 Fleming’s discovery of the fungal antibiotic penicillin started the “Golden...
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...
Following surveys of seaweeds in Oregon and the Caribbean, four algal species were selected for study on the basis of their crude extract biological activity or thin-layer chromatographic characteristics. Extracts were fractionated by normal phase chromatography, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Derivatives (methyl esters, acetates, and benzoates) of natural...
This study identified new compounds with pest control activities. The two sources of candidates that were followed here were the main heartwood extract of Alaska Yellow Cedar (AYC) constituents and several semi-synthetic counterparts. Five compounds were isolated and identified for the first time in AYC heartwood in this research: two...
