Colorants In Cheese Manufacture: Production, Chemistry, Interactions, And Regulation, Prateek Sharma, Annalisa Segat, Alan L. Kelly, Jeremiah J. Sheehan

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

Colored Cheddar cheeses are prepared by adding an aqueous annatto extract (norbixin) to cheese milk; however, a considerable proportion (∼20%) of such colorant is transferred to whey, which can limit the end use applications of whey products. Different geographical regions have adopted various strategies for handling whey derived from colored cheeses production. For example, in the United States, whey products are treated with oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide and benzoyl peroxide to obtain white and colorless spray‐dried products; however, chemical bleaching of whey is prohibited in Europe and China. Fundamental studies have focused on understanding the interactions between colorants …

Feeding The Future Meat Doesn’T Come Cheap, Lukas C. Southard

Capstones

Cultured – or as it is referred to by companies innovating the technology clean – meat is expected to be the next innovation to change the way the world gets its animal protein. Meat from animal cells grown in a lab seems like science fiction but it is around the corner from hitting your supermarket shelves. The technology has been developed but how these companies intend on scaling up their production to meet retail demands remains a mystery. So far companies have relied on seed and early stage investment from venture capital companies and private sources to fund research. Predictions …

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Use of fungicides is a common practice as a postharvest treatment to control fruit decay. Nowadays, environment-friendly technologies, such as heat treatments, are viable replacements. This study evaluated the effects of post-harvest heat treatments (traditional and microwave-assisted) on mandarins intentionally inoculated with Penicillium digitatum. For the studied heat treatments, the target temperature was 50C, which was held for 2.5 min. After heating, mandarins were cooled and stored at 25C for 13 days. MW treatments effectively prevented mold growth during storage, while HW only delayed it. Control mandarins (without treatment) showed the highest significant weight loss. Neither thermal treatment nor storage …

An Evaluation Of Hybrid Traits, Yield, And Major Qtl Effect On Heterosis In Hybrid Soft Red Winter Wheat, Zachary James Winn

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a self-pollinating species that is most often bred as a recombinant inbred line. When two inbred individuals are crossed, they produce progeny which experience heterosis; heterosis is the increased robustness experienced due to the reintroduction of heterozygosity. Hybrid wheat may be produced through the use of chemical hybridization agents, yet the structure of wheat flowers decreases the efficiency of outcrossing. The objectives of this study were to: assess the amount of heterosis experienced by a population of hybrid wheat and observe the effect of major gene loci on yield and yield components, phenotype anthers extruded …

School of Earth, Environmental, & Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

To promote the commercialization of yellow pea flour (YPF) due to its nutritional benefits. Four biscuits with different YPF ratio (10%–50%) were conducted to explore the optimal addition percentage. The effects of YPF on the rheological and baking performance of biscuits were performed. The results showed that the substitution ratio of YPF and milling methods had a critical impact on the rheological properties of dough. The dough stability decreased gradually while a softening degree increased with YPF ratio increased. In a term of biscuits, the dimensions of length (L), width (W), thickness (T) and color (L*) of biscuits reduced as …

Study On Nutritional Evaluation Of Rice Protein Based On Modified Ahp And Grey Correlation Analysis, Xiao Ke, Su Donglin, Li Zhijian, Shang Xuebo

Food and Machinery

The protein and amino acid composition of 24 rice samples from 8 late indica varieties in three production bases were determined. With FAO/WHO provisional pattern of amino acids as reference, a comprehensive evaluation model for rice protein was established by combining modified analytic hierarchy process (AHP) with grey correlation analysis, and the feasibility of the evaluation model in evaluating the nutritional value of protein was verified. The results showed that the quality of rice protein was significantly different among different bases and varieties (P<0.05). The correlation coefficient r of the weighted grey correlation method with PER and NPR was 0.959 (P=0.003) and 0.974 (P=0.001) respectively. The results demonstrate that the weighted grey correlation degree is highly correlated with biological indexes of protein quality, which can characterize the nutritional quality of rice protein scientifically and effectively.

Effect Of 3-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid On 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Formation And Color In Dried Fruits, Zhou Kangning, Zheng Jie, Ou Shiyi, Pei Kehan

Food and Machinery

This research is aimed to investigate the effect of 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3-CQA) on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) formation and color parameters during drying of four kinds of fruit crisps (apple, pear, apricot and plum). Results showed that the amount and composition of carbohydrate caused that different fruits produced different amount of 5-HMF: plum＞apricot＞apple＞pear. Soaking of fruit crisps with 3-CQA significantly increased the 5-HMF formation and HMF content is positively related to soaking and drying time. 3-CQA also promoted the browning during fruit drying via decreasing L^* but increasing C^* values. However, blanching decreased the formation of 5-HMF and the browning …
