The Transesterification Of Hickory Nuts Into Biodiesel Fuel, Hannah Trauger, Madilynn Dewell, Jahida A. Mendoza
Undergraduate Research Conference
• Biodiesel fuels can be produced from a fat and an alcohol via transesterification
• Hickory nuts have a high fat content (~60 % by weight)
• Can nuts from shagbark hickory (Carya ovata) be used to produce a biodiesel fuel using existing acidcatalyzed transesterification methods?

Extraction And Quantification Of Hydrolyzable Tannins In Acorns From Different Species Of Oak Trees (Quercus Spp.), Sarah Browning, Marshall E. Woodruff
Undergraduate Research Conference
Do white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) prefer to eat certain types of acorns based on tannin content?
Hydrolyzable tannins consist of gallate groups connected via ester linkages to a carbohydrate (D-glucose)
The Prussian Blue method was used to determine hydrolyzable tannin content
