Antioxidant Combination Of High Phosphatidylserine (Ps) Lecithin With Mixed Tocopherol In Soybean Oil-In-Water Emulsion: Effect Of Ph And Salt, Princy Agnihotri Oct 2021

Antioxidant Combination Of High Phosphatidylserine (Ps) Lecithin With Mixed Tocopherol In Soybean Oil-In-Water Emulsion: Effect Of Ph And Salt, Princy Agnihotri

Masters Theses

Lipid oxidation is one of the major challenges faced by the food industry as it contributes to the loss of nutritional quality and loss of flavor in food products. Studies have shown that naturally occurring phospholipids like phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) can regenerate oxidized tocopherols and help delay the lipid oxidation in bulk oils and oil-in-water emulsions. Since consumers desire simpler and cleaner labels, without chemically synthesized antioxidants, this research is of great interest. The combination of PS and PE with tocopherols has already been studied. However, PS was a better antioxidant in combination with tocopherols in the oil-in-water …


Gut Community Response To Wheat Bran And Pinto Bean, Shuen Leow May 2021

Gut Community Response To Wheat Bran And Pinto Bean, Shuen Leow

Department of Food Science and Technology: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

There is general consensus among the scientific community that dietary fibers reduce the risk of Western diseases through their fermentation by beneficial microbial communities in the human gut. However, dietary fibers in wheat bran (WB) and pinto bean (PB) are incompletely fermented by the gut microbiota. Therefore, there is a critical need to identify gut microbial communities that can increase fermentation of dietary fibers from these foods to maximize their disease-preventing properties. The goal of this study was to identify such communities with increased capacity to ferment the dietary fibers in WB and PB. To accomplish these goals, a stepwise …
