Vegetarianism, Kimberly A. Folkman

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

Fats And Iron In The Rat Colon: Effects On Lipid Peroxidation, Ji Jenny Chin

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Preliminary studies were undertaken to investigate whether or not added iron (0, 35, 880 ppm of iron as ferrous fumarate) and fat type (corn oil, beef tallow, or menhaden oil) influenced the oxidation of the rat diet during storage. Iron level affected thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values only in the menhaden oil diets. Storage for 4 d did not affect TBA values of the diets. Neither food intake nor body weight of the rats was affected by the different diets, suggesting all diets were equally acceptable to rats.

The effects of iron supplementation and fat type on in vivo lipid peroxidation …

The results indicated that the prompts, although noticed and understood by the majority of the students, did not significantly influence their …

The Derivation And Validation Of A Workable Food Listing System For Use In Evaluation Of Food Consumption, Georgia C. Lauritzen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Three separate food grouping systems were derived for diet evaluation by utilizing a computer clustering program.

Defendable nutritional principles as well as knowledge of present nutritional concerns and eating habits of the U.S. population underpinned the derivation of the three systems. Over 4,000 individual foods were condensed to approximately 325 groups.

The three food grouping systems which were developed were compared for accuracy by …
