Measuring Palatability As A Linear Combination Of Nutrient Levels In Food Items, Jeffrey S. Young
Measuring Palatability As A Linear Combination Of Nutrient Levels In Food Items, Jeffrey S. Young
Faculty & Staff Research and Creative Activity
It well known that palatability and nutritional quality of foods and/or diets are viewed as being in tension with one another. While there exist multiple measures of healthiness, there are no such measures for tastiness. This gap limits the degree to which researchers can investigate this tension and its implications for dietary behavior and hence public health and nutrition policy. The scope of future work concerning the dietary behavior of Americans would expand greatly if researchers better understood consumers’ willingness to eat certain foods, which matters as much as recommending those foods for them to eat in the first place. …
Science Of Climate Change In Agricultural Courses, Iin P. Handayani
Science Of Climate Change In Agricultural Courses, Iin P. Handayani
Faculty & Staff Research and Creative Activity
Climate change adaptation is required knowledge for students and graduates from colleges of agriculture since recent crop production and food security are influenced by climate change. Thus, understanding the dynamics of climate change is important to support farmers to adapt to future conditions. However, not all students and graduates understand the concept and application of climate change with regard to the dynamics of food production and future food security. While agriculture faces the challenge of climate change adaptation, agricultural courses have not kept pace by incorporating climate change science into the curricula. To address this issue, eleven syllabi in selected …

The potassium solubilizing biofertilizer based on selected potassium solubilizing bacteria (KSB) can facilitate availability of potassium in primary silicate minerals containing potassium to be absorbed by the plants. The key to successful application of biofertilizer in showing positive effects on inoculated plants is the selection of a carrier material that can guarantee viability of inoculants during shelf life before being applied in the field. The purpose of this study was to determine viability of three selected KSB isolates which were formulated in a mixture of K-feldspar (KF), rice straw compost (RSC), rice husk biochar (RHB), and Aleksandrov liquid medium (ALM) …
