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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Optimization of xanthan chitosan polyelectrolytic hydrogels for microencapsulation of probiotic bacteria
(2011)
The effectiveness of microencapsulation system for targeted delivery of probiotics depends on its ability to protect cells from harsh gastrointestinal conditions of stomach followed by effectively releasing the cells in ...
BIOLOGICAL EFFICACY, MECHANISMS OF ACTIONS OF SOY-DERIVED PHYTOALEXIN GLYCEOLLINS IN PREVENTION OF CHRONIC DISEASES
(2014)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer in U.S. male population. Diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and chronic inflammation promote the development ...
MICROBIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF ORGANIC PRODUCE PRE- AND POST- HARVEST ON MARYLAND FARMS AND IMPACT OF GROWING AND HANDLING METHODS ON EPIPHYTIC BACTERIA
(2014)
Although the consumption of organic produce has dramatically increased in recent years and many outbreaks continue to occur, the microbiological safety of organic produce has not been fully assessed. This study generated ...
Food Safety Implications of Biofilms Formed by Resident Bacteria in Fresh-cut Processing Environments
(2013)
Biofilms on equipment surfaces can be vectors for cross-contaminations in food processing facilities. A particular problem is that biofilms can protect pathogenic bacteria from daily cleaning and disinfection operations. ...
Chemical compositions, antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of wheat
(2014)
To promote its use in nutraceutical and functional ingredients, different growing environments, genotypes, and processing fractions of soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were investigated for their chemical compositions and ...
DIFFERENT EFFECTS OF RESVERATROL ON HUMAN THP-1 MONOCYTES AND THP-1 DIFFERENTIATED MACROPHAGES
(2014)
Resveratrol (Res), a natural polyphenol compound found in grapes and red wine has been shown to exhibit anti-tumor, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammation effects. However, the molecular targets as well as mechanisms of action ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF INTERACTION BETWEEN WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE AND XANTHAN/CURDLAN HYDROGEL TO IMPROVE FREEZE-THAW STABILITY
(2014)
Syneresis, the liquid separation from a food product, is one of the major challenges in the frozen food industry. It is often accelerated by unintentional temperature fluctuations, i.e. repeated freezing and thawing during ...
