Noninvasive Cleaning and Sanitation Monitoring System for Deli Department Processing
(2013)
The inability to adequately judge the efficacy of cleaning/sanitation in deli departments is a recognized food safety concern. In prior studies, our research group demonstrated that visual inspection of cleaned produce ...
Effect of Noble Metal Nanomaterials on Endogenous and Dietary Antioxidants and their Combined Interaction with Reactive Oxygen Species
(2013)
In the last decade, nanotechnology has been extensively exploited in a variety of areas because nanoscaled materials provide a wide range of benefits that bulk materials do not possess. In spite of its advent, when applied ...
Factors Associated with Compliance to Diabetes Self-Care Behaviors and Glycemic Control Among Kuwaiti People with Type 2 Diabetes
(2012)
In this cross-sectional study, diabetes self-care behaviors, general diabetes knowledge, attitude and satisfaction, dietary and lifestyle modifications, and barriers to diabetes self-care behaviors and diabetes self-management ...
Intervention Strategies for Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in Organic Soil and on Fresh Produce
(2012)
Recently, foodborne diseases caused by Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella have been increasingly associated with the consumption of fresh produce. Consumers' demand for safe, natural products has led to research on ...
The Development of Food Polymer-Based Nanocomposites as Novel Antimicrobial Agents and Sustainable Packaging Materials
(2012)
Nanocomposites developed from food polymers are an emerging technology, which has shown plenty of promising applications in worldwide food related markets. The dissertation first investigated how protein modification ...
A NOVEL APPROACH TO PRODUCE ORGANIC FERTILIZER FROM FISH SCRAPS
(2013)
A process was developed using an acidic system to hydrolyze fish protein, followed by a membrane-based separation process to purify and separate the desired liquid portion from the remaining solid prior to deodorization ...
Nutritional roles of selenium in cellular and mouse aging
(2013)
Oxidative stress and persistent DNA damage response can lead to cellular senescence and aging. The ATM kinase and p53 protein play critical roles in the DNA damage response to reactive oxygen species and other DNA-damaging ...
Nutrition, Sensory, Quality and Safety Evaluation of A New Specialty Produce: Microgreens
(2013)
Microgreens are new emerging food products, which are young seedlings of vegetables and herbs, having two fully developed cotyledons with the first pair of true leaves emerging or partially expanded. They have gained ...
Selenium-induced senescence involves heterochromatin formation
(2013)
Abstract
We have recently shown that selenium compounds can induce a senescence response in a manner depending on ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM), DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), p53 and reactive oxygen species ...
Texture optimization of soy protein isolate post high-moisture extrusion as an alternative dietary protein source
(2011)
Soy protein isolate (SPI) has been used as an alternative protein source in texturized meat analogs due to its high protein content and health benefits. Twin-screw high-moisture extrusion was capable of texturing and ...
