Effect Of Pecan Variety And The Method Of Extraction On The Antimicrobial Activity Of Pecan Shell Extracts Against Different Foodborne Pathogens And Their Efficacy On Food Matrices, Veerachandra K. Yemmireddy, Cameron Cason, Juan Moreira, Achyut Adhikari

School of Earth, Environmental, & Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

The shells of pecans are a rich source of bioactive compounds with potential inhibitory activity against various pathogenic microorganisms. This study investigated the antimicrobial activity of pecan shell extracts as effected by the type of cultivar and the method of extraction against various foodborne bacterial pathogens. Defatted shell powders of 19 different pecan cultivars were subjected to aqueous and ethanolic extraction (1:20 w/v) procedures, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of lyophilized pecan shell extracts dissolved in deionized water containing 5% DMSO (v/v) were determined against multiple strains of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica, and …

Maize Flavan-4-Ols And Anthocyanins Alleviated Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis In Mice Via Intestinal Barrier Function Restoration, Binning Wu, Shiyu Li, Haotian Chang, Ruth Anderson, Surinder Chopra, Lavanya Reddivari

Department of Food Science Faculty Publications

This study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of anthocyanins and flavan-4-ols (precursor of phlobaphenes) within a whole-food matrix against dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis using four maize near-isogenic lines (NILs) that differ only in a single class of flavonoids. The four NILs are A (lacks anthocyanins and phlobaphenes), B (phlobaphenes +), C (anthocyanins +) and D (anthocyanins + and phlobaphenes +).

Study On Physicochemical Properties Of The Starch Fiom Dioscorea Alata L., He Hai-Xia, Li Dong-Ming, Wu Ying-Ying, Li Qiao-Mei, Xiao Jian-Hui, Tu Jin

Food and Machinery

Alkaline process was used to extract the starch from Dioscorea alata L., and the composition, transparency, freeze-thaw stability, settling property, water holding capacity, solubility, swelling, gelatinization and viscosity characteristics of the extracted starch were analyzed. The results showed that the content of amylose in legume Dioscorea alata L. was 27.05%. Compared with the starch from wheat, mung bean, and potato, the transparency, settling ability, water retention, and thermal stability of legume potatoes were found best. However, the freeze-thaw stability was poor, and it was difficult to gelatinize. The dissolving power and swelling power of the starch from legume potato increased …

Effect Of Cacl2 On Water Holding Capacity And Microstructure Of Tilapia Myosin Gel Under The Low Salt Condition, Feng Rui, Hong Peng-Zhi, Yang Ping, Zhou Chun-Xia

Food and Machinery

Myosin was extracted from tilapia (Oreochromis niloti-cus) and the heat-induced gel was prepared, and the effect of CaCl₂ addition on the water holding capacity, microstructure and chemical interactions of myosin gel was investigated under different salt conditions (1,50,150,600 mmol/L NaCl). The effects and mechanisms of Ca²⁺on thermal gel properties of myosin were determined under the low salt conditions. Experimental results showed that under the conditions of low salt concentration (1~150 mmol/L NaCl), there were weak opaque gels due to a rapid aggregation of myosin filaments during heating. These myosin gels exhibited a cross-linked network with coarse cross-linked …
