The Potential Role Of Probiotics In Reducing Poverty-Associated Infections In Developing Countries, Kingsley Anukam Oct 2007

The Potential Role Of Probiotics In Reducing Poverty-Associated Infections In Developing Countries, Kingsley Anukam

Data and Test Instruments

Probiotics are defined by the Food and Agricultural Organization/ World Health Organization as “live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host” [1]. The potential benefits of their use have not been adequately investigated, especially in the developing world. Japan introduced Yakult, a probiotic fermented food drink in 1935, and in the Northern hemisphere, research and use of probiotics has gained an unprecedented momentum in the last decade [2]. Use of probiotics is not uncommon in Europe [3], but in many developing countries use of probiotics in its present definition is a foreign concept. …


Enhancing Fertiliser Use Efficiency For Transplanted Vegetables, Dennis Phillips, Aileen Reid, Gavin D'Adhemar Jan 2007

Enhancing Fertiliser Use Efficiency For Transplanted Vegetables, Dennis Phillips, Aileen Reid, Gavin D'Adhemar

Horticulture research reports

Horticulture Australia (HAL) Project No. VG04018.

Project VG 04018 ‘Enhancing fertiliser use efficiency for transplanted vegetables’ showed that spraying highly concentrated solutions containing nitrogen over newly transplanted vegetable seedlings for between 14 and 21 days after planting can increase marketable yields by as much as 300% compared to other methods of fertiliser application. Crops that this method has been successfully tested on in this study by the W.A. Department of Agriculture and Food include iceberg and Cos lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage (wombok), celery and cabbage.

The research was conducted on virgin sandy soils of the Swan Coastal Plain near …

Effects Of Heating On Hydrophobicity, Viscosity, And Gelling Properties Of Soy Products, Robert S. Walnofer, Navam S. Hettiarachchy, Ronny Horax Jan 2005

Effects Of Heating On Hydrophobicity, Viscosity, And Gelling Properties Of Soy Products, Robert S. Walnofer, Navam S. Hettiarachchy, Ronny Horax

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

The co-product of soybean after oil extraction is the meal, which is rich in protein. From this meal, protein concentrate and protein isolate are prepared and are commercially available as functional ingredients. Thermal treatment is the most common step applied to foods during processing. Changes in structural and functional properties can be affected by thermal or chemical treatments. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of heat on surface hydrophobicity, gelling properties, and viscosity of soy meal (SM), soy protein concentrate (SPC), and soy protein isolate (SPI). The soy products were subjected to heat at varying temperatures …


Growth And Development Of Tomato Seedlings In Sphagnum Peat, Vermiculite, And Processed Rice Hull Substrates, Matthew K. Nutt, Michael R. Evans Jan 2005

Growth And Development Of Tomato Seedlings In Sphagnum Peat, Vermiculite, And Processed Rice Hull Substrates, Matthew K. Nutt, Michael R. Evans

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum ‘Early Girl’) seedling growth was evaluated in substrates containing varying proportions of ground rice hulls. Substrates were formulated containing 0, 30, 60, and 90% ground rice hulls with one-half of the treatments also treated with a surfactant. Seedling growth in two of the ground rice hull-containing substrates was generally similar to the two controls of 90% peat or 100% vermiculite. The germination percentages for all ground rice hull-containing substrates were similar to the two controls. Ground rice hulls are a viable alternative to peat and vermiculite seedling substrates.


Incorporating Glass Transition Concepts To Explain Rice Milling-Quality Reductions During The Drying Process, Derek A. Schluterman, Terry J. Siebenmorgen Jan 2005

Incorporating Glass Transition Concepts To Explain Rice Milling-Quality Reductions During The Drying Process, Derek A. Schluterman, Terry J. Siebenmorgen

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

Previous research has indicated that while drying rough rice using air temperatures above the glass transition temperature (Tg), head rice yield (HRY) reductions are incurred if a state transition occurs when severe intra-kernel moisture content (MC) gradients are present. State transitions can occur by extended drying using high-temperature air or by cooling kernels below Tg before sufficient tempering has occurred. The objectives of this experiment were to determine the maximum MC removal per initial drying pass and the associated tempering durations required to prevent HRY reduction. Two long-grain cultivars, ‘Francis’ and ‘Wells’, at two harvest moisture contents (HMC) were used. …

A Comparison Of Recently Introduced Instruments For Measuring Rice Flour Viscosity, Nettie Mathis, Linfeng Wang, Terry J. Siebenmorgen Jan 2004

A Comparison Of Recently Introduced Instruments For Measuring Rice Flour Viscosity, Nettie Mathis, Linfeng Wang, Terry J. Siebenmorgen

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

The Rapid Visco-Analyser (RVA) and the Micro Visco-Amylograph (MVA) were compared in measuring the viscosity properties of rice flours. A total of 72 rice samples were procured from three cultivars harvested at two locations and three moisture contents and separated into thin, medium, and thick kernel-thickness fractions. A fast and a slow heating rate was used in the procedure for both instruments. Cultivar, kernel thickness, and harvest location affected rice viscosity. The RVA viscosity profiles using a fast heating rate were best correlated with those of the MVA using a slow heating rate. The RVA slow heating rate resulted in …


Characterizing Bean Pod Rot In Arkansas And Missouri, Jeremy H. Taylor, Craig S. Rothrock Jan 2004

Characterizing Bean Pod Rot In Arkansas And Missouri, Jeremy H. Taylor, Craig S. Rothrock

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

Green beans are an important crop grown for processing in both Arkansas and Missouri. Green beans are harvested mechanically using non-selective picking fingers. Harvested beans are then transported in bulk to processing plants that are located at various locations throughout the mid-South. Thus, the crop is managed for high quality, avoiding pod blemishes caused by insects and diseases. One of the consistent quality problems that affect Arkansas and Missouri green bean crops is pod rot. Two of the causal agents of pod rot that have been reported by researchers and vegetable companies alike are Pythium aphanidermatum and an unidentified Phytophthora …
