Effects Of Filtration Temperature And Heat Treatment On Composition And Rheological Properties Of Whole Milk Ultrafiltration Retentates, John W. Montella
Master's Theses
ABSTRACT
Effects of Filtration Temperature and Heat Treatment on Composition and Rheological Properties of Whole Milk Ultrafiltration Retentates
John William Montella
For the first part of my thesis, the effects of filtration temperature and heat treatment on the compositional properties of whole milk Ultrafiltration retentate (UF) were studied. Ultrafiltration is primarily run at temperatures in the range of 50-55°C but more and more plants are starting to filter at refrigeration temperatures. In the ultrafiltration of milk, filtration temperature can affect the composition of the retentate by affecting the chemistry of milk components. The application of a pasteurization step can also …
Got Controversy - Milk Does, Margaret Sova Mccabe
Got Controversy - Milk Does, Margaret Sova Mccabe
Law Faculty Scholarship
This article analyzes ongoing controversy over how to best label rBST-free milk. Recombinant bovine somatotropin is a genetically engineered drug administered by some farmers to their dairy herds to increase milk production. FDA first approved its use in 1994, despite great controversy. The FDA also issued labeling guidelines that allowed voluntary disclosure of rBST-free milk, so long as it carried the disclaimer that no difference could be detected between milk produced with rBST and rBST-free. The controversy continues today as consumers express a preference for rBST-free milk and many rBST-free producers label their milk this way. "Conventional" milk (with rBST) …
Synthesis And Antimicrobial Evaluation Of Carbohydrate And Polyhydroxylated Non-Carbohydrate Fatty Acid Ester And Ether Derivatives, Aoife Smith, Patricia Nobmann, Gary Henehan, Paula Bourke, Julie Dunne
Synthesis And Antimicrobial Evaluation Of Carbohydrate And Polyhydroxylated Non-Carbohydrate Fatty Acid Ester And Ether Derivatives, Aoife Smith, Patricia Nobmann, Gary Henehan, Paula Bourke, Julie Dunne
Articles
A series of fatty acid ester and ether derivatives have been chemically synthesised based on carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate polyhydroxylated scaffolds. The synthesised compounds, along with their corresponding fatty acid monoglyceride antimicrobials, were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Of the derivatives synthesised several of the carbohydrate based compounds have antimicrobial efficacy comparable with commercially available antimicrobials. The results suggest that the nature of the carbohydrate core plays a role in the efficacy of carbohydrate fatty acid derivatives as antimicrobials.

In 2005, a breakthrough technology was Announced that provided a quantum leap In DNA sequencing capacity.
This technology differed from the Sanger method In many ways:
1. Eliminates cloning—completely circumvents cloning bias
2. Uses bead technology—DNA templates are attached to sepharose beads
3. Relies on pyrosequencing chemistry—synthesis is sequential not partial
4. Parallelizes the sequencing process—hundreds of thousands of beads can be sequenced in parallel
The bottom line: it makes production-scale sequencing available to the common man.

Inhibition Of Adhesion Of Streptococcus Mutans To Hydroxylapatite By Commercial Dairy Powders And Individual Milk Proteins, Rachel Halpin, Maeve O'Connor, Dolores O'Riordan, Michael O'Sullivan, Damien Brady
Articles
The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of various dairy powders and milk constituents on the adhesion of a clinical isolate of Streptococcus mutans to hydroxylapatite (HA), an analogue of tooth enamel. Adhesion of a microorganism to a cell surface such as epithelial cells or tooth enamel is considered to be the first step in pathogenesis. Inhibiting this process may have therapeutic effects in vivo. The adherence assays were performed by incubating S. mutans with HA in the presence of each test material for 45 min, followed by centrifugal separation of the HA. Unbound bacteria were …

Design And Synthesis Of Carbohydrate Based Derivatives As Antimicrobial Compounds, Aoife Smith
Doctoral
Investigations into the design of analogues of GlcNAc-Ins, the substrate for the enzyme GlcNAc-Ins deacetylase (mshB), a therapeutic target on the pathway to mycothiol biosynthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis are described. Initial studies directed towards the design of a substrate analogue were based on the 3-D structure and a proposed mechanism of action of mshB (deduced by Dr. Andrew McCarthy, EMBL). The compounds were designed with the aim to produce an analogue which could better mimic the natural substrate for mshB (GlcNAc-Ins) for crystallisation and mechanistic studies to further improve the knowledge of this enzyme. A series of fatty acid ester …
Flavor Formation And Character In Cocoa And Chocolate: A Critical Review, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistaiar Paterson, Mark Fowler, Angela Ryan
Flavor Formation And Character In Cocoa And Chocolate: A Critical Review, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistaiar Paterson, Mark Fowler, Angela Ryan
Professor Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa
Chocolate characters not only originate in flavor precursors present in cocoa beans, but are generated during post-harvest treatments and transformed into desirable odor notes in the manufacturing processes. Complex biochemical modifications of bean constituents are further altered by thermal reactions in roasting and conching and in alkalization. However the extent to which the inherent bean constituents from the cocoa genotype, environmental factors, post-harvest treatment and processing technologies influence chocolate flavor formation and relationships with final flavor quality, has not been clear. With increasing speciality niche products in chocolate confectionery, greater understanding of factors contributing to variations in flavor character would …

Sustained Release Of Lysozyme Encapsulated In Zein Micro- And Nanocapsules, Minfeng Jin
Sustained Release Of Lysozyme Encapsulated In Zein Micro- And Nanocapsules, Minfeng Jin
Masters Theses
A hydrophobic biopolymer, corn zein, was studied as a carrier for manufacturing particulate delivery systems of antimicrobials with sustained release. Three techniques, i.e., solvent attrition, supercritical anti-solvent and spray drying, were investigated to produce lysozyme-loaded zein micro- or nanocapsules. The work was focused on particle synthesis and in vitro release kinetics as affected by formulations and processes.
The size (100-200 nm) and morphology (separated or connected) of the zein nanoparticles produced using solvent attrition were significantly affected by shear force, ethanol and zein concentrations in stock solutions during synthesis. Zein nanoparticles showed gradual release of lysozyme at pH 7 and …

Characterization Of Melting Properties In Dark Chocolates From Varying Particle Size Distribution And Composition Using Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler, Joselio Vieira
Professor Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa
Melting properties in dark chocolates processed from varying particle size distribution (PSD), fat and lecithin content were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Compositional parameters were PSD (D90 (90% finer than this size) of 18, 25, 35 and 50 lm), fat (25%, 30% and 35%) and lecithin (0.3% and 0.5%) contents. Variations in PSD had no influence on crystallinity of products. Fat and lecithin content influenced the degree of crystallinity and melting properties (Tend, Tindex and DHmelt) of the products. Increasing fat content caused consistent increases in degree of crystallinity and crystal size distribution, thus effecting significant changes in Tend, …
