The purpose of this study was to assess long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) status in relation to socio-behavioral outcomes in children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). In a case-control design, plasma phospholipid fatty acid content was assessed in children aged 5–12 years with AD/HD and in typically functioning children. Dietary intakes of LCPUFAs arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n6) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n3) were quantified using a four-day food record, polymorphisms were determined in FADS1 and FADS2, and socio-behavioral outcomes were assessed using the Conners 3 Parent Rating Scales in a cross section of children with AD/HD. Compared to …

Thiols (cysteine and glutathione) were explored as potential decolorization agents to mitigate green pigment formation in chlorogenic acid quinone-lysine solutions. Reparameterizations of the Weibull cumulative distribution function were applied to describe the time-dependence of greening under varying pH conditions. Repeated fitting of 3-parameter models (RMSE = 0.0111, CVRMSE = 1.55%) indicated the linear dependence of model parameters on thiol concentration. A 6-parameter Weibull model incorporating time and initial thiol concentration (RMSE = 0.0255, CVRMSE = 3.56%) accurately predicted green color development. Calculated model parameters descriptive of greening rate, terminal greening magnitude, and lag time before greening onset facilitated comparison of …


Effectiveness Of Selected Pre-Enrichment Broths For The Detection Of Salmonella Spp. In Meat Analogs, Georgia L. Sampson, Shannon B. Ruelle, Lieuchi Phan, Donna Williams-Hill, Rosalee S. Hellberg Aug 2022

Effectiveness Of Selected Pre-Enrichment Broths For The Detection Of Salmonella Spp. In Meat Analogs, Georgia L. Sampson, Shannon B. Ruelle, Lieuchi Phan, Donna Williams-Hill, Rosalee S. Hellberg

Food Science Faculty Articles and Research

With the increasing variety of meat analog products, it is important to verify that the methods used for Salmonella detection are effective. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of three pre-enrichment broths for the detection of Salmonella in meat analog burgers: the currently used Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) broth (lactose broth with Triton X-100, LB-T), universal pre-enrichment (UP) broth, and buffered peptone water (BPW). Five different meat analog products (coded A-E) were inoculated with Salmonella serotypes (S. Enteritidis or S. Agona) following the Food and Drug Administration Method Modification and Method Extension Criteria for Existing …


Characterization Of Gangliosides And Fatty Acids In Extracellular Vesicles From Human Milk, Aliya Amin May 2022

Characterization Of Gangliosides And Fatty Acids In Extracellular Vesicles From Human Milk, Aliya Amin

Food Science (MS) Theses

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are bioactive components of human milk that may impact functionality to regulate growth, cognitive development, metabolism, and immunity in newborns. The biogenesis of EVs and the mechanism by which EVs elicit biologic effects in vivo have not been characterized entirely. Gangliosides and fatty acids are integral in the formation, release, stability, and functionalities of EVs. Presumably, EV function is related to EV composition and lipids in EVs influence the bioavailability of EV cargo and downstream functions of EVs. The objective of this research was to characterize the fatty acid and ganglioside composition of EVs in human milk. …
