The Biology And Ecology Of Trogoderma Glabrum (Herbst) In Stored Grains, Benjamin H. Kantack, Robert Staples Feb 1969

The Biology And Ecology Of Trogoderma Glabrum (Herbst) In Stored Grains, Benjamin H. Kantack, Robert Staples

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

These investigations were undertaken to determine the distribution and importance of Trogoderma glabrum (Herbst) in stored grain in Nebraska, the ecological factors favoring population increase in stored wheat, corn, and sorghum, and the role T. glabrum might play in disseminating internally the Aspergillus molds commonly encountered in stored grain.


The Vitamin A And Carotene Content Of Nebraska Butter, I. L. Hathaway, H. P. Davis Feb 1947

The Vitamin A And Carotene Content Of Nebraska Butter, I. L. Hathaway, H. P. Davis

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The vitamin-A, carotene, fat and moisture concentrations of Nebraska creamery butter were determined at monthly intervals for 25 months. Samples were obtained from 14 creameries located throughout the state. Their vitamin-A and carotene determinations were made with the aid of a spectrophotometer, and their fat and moisture analyses were determined by the A.O.A.C. methods. From a comparison of these data with the results of investigations in other states it was concluded that Nebraska butter was at least equal in vitamin-A value to average United States butter.


Some Factors Affecting The Cooking Quality Of The Pea And Great Northern Types Of Dry Beans, Edna B. Snyder Oct 1936

Some Factors Affecting The Cooking Quality Of The Pea And Great Northern Types Of Dry Beans, Edna B. Snyder

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Dry beans of the Great Northern and pea-bean type from Nebraska and several other bean-producing states were studied to determine the factors affecting the cooking quality. A standard cooking procedure with distilled water was used to disclose differences in cooking quality, and the percentage of beans too hard for table use was determined for each cooked portion. The factors studied were: soaking, including time and temperatures; storage, including time and storage conditions; age; size; place of origin; effect of chemical solutions; and the composition of the seed coat. The chemical solutions used were hydrochloric and acetic acids in different concentrations; …


The Colloidal Swelling Of Wheat Gluten In Relation To Milling And Baking, F. W. Upson, J. W. Calvin Jun 1916

The Colloidal Swelling Of Wheat Gluten In Relation To Milling And Baking, F. W. Upson, J. W. Calvin

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Our experiments deal with the changes in hydration capacity of gluten under different conditions and were carried out by determining accurately the amount of water absorbed by gluten from solutions of varying concentrations of different acids, both with and without the presence of salts.
