Processes to Preserve Spice and Herb Quality and Sensory Integrity During Pathogen Inactivation
(Wiley, 2017-05-01)Selected processing methods, demonstrated to be effective at reducing Salmonella, were assessed to determine if spice and herb quality was affected. Black peppercorn, cumin seed, oregano, and onion powder were irradiated ... -
Production of omega-3 enriched tilapia through the dietary use of algae meal or fish oil: Improved nutrient value of fillet and offal
(PLOS, 2018-04-11)The goal of this project was to increase the nutrient value of fillets, by-product muscle, and offal of aquacultured tilapia. A diet that includes seafood with a high omega-3 (n-3) fatty acid content, more specifically ... -
Protecting soymilk flavor and nutrients from photodegradation.
(Wiley, 2015-07)Five different packaging treatments were studied over a 36-day period to determine if they protected soymilk from photo-oxidation. Soymilk was packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with and without light ... -
Quantification of glycosidase activity in selected strains of Brettanomyces bruxellensis and Oenococcus oeni
(American Society for Enology and Viticulture, 2002)Brettanomyces bruxellensis and lactic acid bacteria are common microorganisms capable of modifying wine aroma and flavor. The activity of beta-glucosiclase against p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside was determined in a ... -
Recalcitrant dissolved organic nitrogen formation in thermal hydrolysis pretreatment of municipal sludge
(2020-05)Thermal hydrolysis pretreatment (THP) has been considered as an advanced approach to enhance the performance of anaerobic digestion treating municipal sludge. However, several drawbacks were also identified with THP including ... -
