Extraction And Purification Of Gamma-Tocotrienol From Rice Bran Oil Deodorizer Distillate, Mary Kordsmeier May 2013

Extraction And Purification Of Gamma-Tocotrienol From Rice Bran Oil Deodorizer Distillate, Mary Kordsmeier

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The tocols (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta- tocopherols (T); alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocotrienols (T3)) make up the vitamin E family of antioxidants. Tocols have many health benefits. Gamma-T3 has been shown to protect against harmful radiation effects in mice. During rice bran oil refining up to 90% of tocols in rice bran are lost to the deodorizer distillate. The objective of this study was to optimize parameters for analyzing and isolating tocols from rice bran oil deodorizer distillate (RBODD). NP-HPLC analysis of tocol standards was optimized by testing ten mobile phases. Tocol extraction was optimized by testing three concentration …

Generation Y Students Perception Of Packaging And Pricing Of Arkansas Wines, Katie Gillespie

General Human Environmental Sciences Undergraduate Honors Theses

The objective of this research focuses on “Generation Y students perceptions of packaging and pricing of Arkansas wines”. A thirteen-question quantitative survey was given to 200 Generation Y students at a mid-south land-grant university student union. The questions focused on consumers’ preferences on labeling, packaging, and pricing of Arkansas wines. This research is important to the state’s wineries success with implication on product satisfaction, perceived quality, and price value. Generation Y prefers the glass bottle with the traditional cork and description of the wine. Majority of Generation Y would spend $10 to $15 on a 750 ml of Arkansas wine.
