Detection And Control Of Environmentally Transmissible Viruses, Anand R. Soorneedi
Detection And Control Of Environmentally Transmissible Viruses, Anand R. Soorneedi
Doctoral Dissertations
Viruses, owing to their ubiquitous nature and ability to infect almost every other species, have long been a subject of interest for scientists. Some of the virus species can be very deadly to humans and animals alike and can impose a huge economic and health burden across the world. The recent CoVID-19 pandemic underscores the importance of timely detection for developing effective intervention strategies. Unfortunately, some of the virus species that cause significant health and economic impacts do not have robust and reliable detection methods due to several reasons. In some cases, despite having gold standard methods for detection of …
Understanding And Developing Safer Sanitation Agents And Strategies In Food Production Environments, Pragathi Kamarasu
Understanding And Developing Safer Sanitation Agents And Strategies In Food Production Environments, Pragathi Kamarasu
Doctoral Dissertations
Food is a primary resource for survival of human beings, and it is also one of the primary resources for spread of infectious diseases. When both these factors come together it does not only cause ill effects on our health but also causes a burden on the food and agricultural industry. Through the help of science, us researchers and scientists have always tried to reduce this burden. And I hope like a drop of water in the ocean in some way my research contributes towards this. According to WHO currently in 2023 there are about 1 in 10 people falling …
Analysis Of Antioxidant Synergism And Its Mechanisms In Different Food Systems, Ipek Bayram
Analysis Of Antioxidant Synergism And Its Mechanisms In Different Food Systems, Ipek Bayram
Doctoral Dissertations
Lipid oxidation results in off-flavors, toxic aldehydes, and co-oxidation of proteins and color compounds. Combining antioxidants to achieve synergistic interactions has been practiced for decades to improve oxidative stability. Nevertheless, synergism mechanisms have been poorly understood and rarely studied. This dissertation examines the mechanisms of antioxidant synergism in a model system with α-tocopherol (α-TOC) and myricetin (MYR). The interactions between α-tocopherol and taxifolin (TAX) were also tested because it has structural similarities to myricetin but has a higher redox potential. The first part of this research focused on the antioxidant interactions between α-tocopherol and myricetin in stripped soybean oil-in-water emulsions …
Evaluating The Potential Of Ozone Microbubbles For Inactivation Of Tulane Virus, A Human Norovirus Surrogate, Bozhong Guan
Evaluating The Potential Of Ozone Microbubbles For Inactivation Of Tulane Virus, A Human Norovirus Surrogate, Bozhong Guan
Masters Theses
Microbubbles are small gas-filled bubbles with diameters ranging from 50 to 1 μm, and less than 200 nm are called nanobubbles. Their small sizes and large specific surface area result in a high gas dissolution rate and long lifetime in liquid. Ozone is a strong oxidant that destroys microorganisms and only produces oxygen as the final by-product in fresh water. However, due to the poor stability of aqueous ozone, critical gas waste happens during treatments which leads to a high economic loss. Microbubbles have shown promising enhancement of ozone treatment. In previous studies, ozone microbubbles exhibited excellent efficacy in the …
Impact Of Fermented And Non-Fermented Plant-Based Foods Supplementation On Gut Microbiota And Metabolites In C57bl/6j Mice, Priya Darshan Gandhi
Impact Of Fermented And Non-Fermented Plant-Based Foods Supplementation On Gut Microbiota And Metabolites In C57bl/6j Mice, Priya Darshan Gandhi
Masters Theses
Plant-based proteins have gained popularity because of their high nutritional value and more sustainable alternative to animal-based proteins. Soybean and chickpea are two widely consumed plant-based proteins, whereas tempeh is a popular plant-based fermented whole food product that is rich in protein. With the increase in the development of plant-based food products, there is little research into how plant proteins affect gut microbiota characteristics and metabolites. Therefore, there is a need to understand the underlying mechanisms surrounding the consumption of these foods. The purpose of this study was to investigate the health benefits of soybean, chickpea, and their tempeh counterparts’ …
Sucrose Concentration And Fermentation Temperature Impact The Sensory Characteristics And Liking Of Kombucha, Gil Cohen
Masters Theses
Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage consumed for its probiotics and functional properties and has a unique sensory profile driven by the properties of tea polyphenols and fermentation products, including organic acids. Fermentation temperature and sucrose content affect the fermentation process and the production of organic acids, yet less is known about the impact on the sensory profile and consumer acceptance. Thus, we aim to examine the impact of sucrose concentration and fermentation temperature on sensory attributes and liking. For this study, kombucha tea was fermented at three different concentrations of sucrose and fermented at two temperatures for 11 days. …
Sucrose Concentration And Fermentation Temperature Impact The Sensory Characteristics And Liking Of Kombucha - Data, Gil Cohen, David A. Sela, Alissa A. Nolden
Sucrose Concentration And Fermentation Temperature Impact The Sensory Characteristics And Liking Of Kombucha - Data, Gil Cohen, David A. Sela, Alissa A. Nolden
Data and Datasets
In this data set we can see the pH, brix, and titratable acidity measurements in triplicate, as well as the sensory study data. The kombucha batches were combined prior to sensory testing and measured for their combined titratable acidity as well.
Impact Of Animal Protein And Plant Protein On The Gut Microbiota And Metabolites Of C57bl/6j Mice, Levina Soetyono
Impact Of Animal Protein And Plant Protein On The Gut Microbiota And Metabolites Of C57bl/6j Mice, Levina Soetyono
Masters Theses
Plant-derived protein has gained popularity in recent years due to its health and environmental impact. Studies comparing the health benefits of animal and plant protein have mostly focused on soy as a plant protein representative due to its popularity. Demand for other protein sources such as peas and fava beans has been increasing; thus, the health impact of plant protein sources other than soy must be assessed. Evidence has shown that diet influences the gut microbiota and the metabolites in the body. Metabolites associated with amino acids are strong contributors to the metabolite distinction between dietary animal and plant foods. …
Bifidobacterial Metabolism Of Fucosylated Human Milk Oligosaccharides Influences Structure And Function Of The Infant Gut Microbiome, Liv R. Dedon
Doctoral Dissertations
Human milk contains human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) that are indigestible and pass intact through the infant gastrointestinal tract where they are available for microbial metabolism. HMOs incorporate the same monosaccharide building blocks but vary structurally in primary sequence of monomeric components. Primary sequences are further diversified by degree of polymerization, branching, and secondary modifications such as fucosylation. Fucosylated HMOs (fHMOs) are highly abundant and can account for over 30% of total HMOs. Infant-colonizing Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) possesses a specialized gene cluster conveying the ability to metabolize fHMOs. This study presents an in-depth analysis of B. …

The Genomic Dynamics Of Fermented Food Microbes, Katherine Chacón-Vargas
Doctoral Dissertations
Along with the agriculture and domestication revolution, humans have utilized bacteria, yeasts, and molds for millennia in the production of traditionally fermented foods and beverages. Fermentation is a very ancient practice of high relevance nowadays since it contributes with a great variety of foods worldwide. Microbial fermentation allows metabolic transformation of the raw food materials leading to biochemical changes that played a key role in food preservation, health benefits, nutrition, flavors, and texture, among others. Food fermentation practices could diverge from traditional artisanal spontaneous fermentation to industrialize methods with specialized microbial starters and although fermented environments tend to be very …
