Impacts Of Temperature And Salt Concentrations For Thermal Inactivation Of Salmonella In Moisture Enhanced Reconstructed Chicken Patties, Alik D. Browning
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the thermal kinetic parameters of Salmonella in moisture-enhanced, reconstructed ground chicken patties as affected by temperatures and salt concentrations. Salmonella is responsible for 35% of the foodborne illnesses associated with poultry products (Batz et al., 2011). Nonintact reconstructed chicken meat is mixed with brine solutions containing various salt and polyphosphate concentrations to increase water-holding capacity, decrease cooking losses, improve sensory tasting scores, and maintain the good quality of completed chicken products (Gill et al., 2004). Increasing salt concentrations within meats can increase the thermal inactivation of pathogens. In this study, Salmonella Typhimurium …

Breastfeeding is recognised as the gold standard for feeding newborns and infants. However, infants who cannot be breast-fed or for whom breast milk is not available, can be fed with bovine infant milk formula (IMF) as a substitute. Researchers and producers of IMF strive to continually improve or “humanise” the composition and functionality of IMF. During production of IMF it must undergo several heat treatment steps, e.g. heat-sterilisation or spray-drying, in order to provide a safe product to the infant. These heat treatments denature the globular whey proteins in IMF. In contrast, breast milk is by its nature unheated, so …

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal
Meat is an essential component of a healthy and well-balanced diet and has played a crucial role in human evolution over the years because it is an excellent source of highly digested protein, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, niacin, iron, copper, zinc, and selenium. Raw meat is considered an unavoidable source of microbial contamination due to its enriched nutrient composition, high pH (5.5 to 6.5), and water activity (0.98 to 0.99); consequently, the meat is regarded as a perfect medium for bacterial growth. Meat deterioration begins immediately after slaughter because of faulty practices during the processing stages such as skinning, evisceration, …

Bilirubin Levels Are Negatively Correlated With Adiposity In Obese Men And Women, And Its Catabolized Product, Urobilin, Is Positively Associated With Insulin Resistance, Zachary A. Kipp, Mei Xu, Evelyn A. Bates, Wang-Hsin Lee, Philip A. Kern, Terry D. Hinds Jr.
Markey Cancer Center Faculty Publications
Bilirubin levels in obese humans and rodents have been shown to be lower than in their lean counterparts. Some studies have proposed that the glucuronyl UGT1A1 enzyme that clears bilirubin from the blood increases in the liver with obesity. UGT1A1 clearance of bilirubin allows more conjugated bilirubin to enter the intestine, where it is catabolized into urobilin, which can be then absorbed via the hepatic portal vein. We hypothesized that when bilirubin levels are decreased, the urobilin increases in the plasma of obese humans, as compared to lean humans. To test this, we measured plasma levels of bilirubin and urobilin, …

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications
Peanut allergen Ara h 6 is known to maintain IgE‐binding capacity upon exposure to digestive enzymes1 and its presence in circulation after consumption of peanut has been demonstrated.2,3 Therefore, it has been speculated that food‐derived allergens could be transferred via blood transfusion products, causing an allergic reaction in food-allergic recipients.4,5 However, in published case reports, presence of food allergen in donated material could not be confirmed due to lack of remaining transfusion material and/or lack of sensitive analytical methods. Using a newly developed sensitive immune‐assay for detecting Ara h 6 in human serum, we now report to what extent consumed …

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences
The Obese strain (OS) of chickens spontaneously develops autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT) and is a well-established biomedical model for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in humans. Both conditions are characterized by the infiltration of thyroid glands with mononuclear immune cells resulting in the destruction of thyroid tissue and impairment of the thyroid’s endocrinological functions. Past studies described immune cell infiltration in thyroids of the OS chickens, but the time-course, cell composition, and relative amounts of the various immune cells infiltrating the thyroids have not been well defined. In this project, frozen and stored thyroid glands that were previously collected at 1, 4, 7, 14, …

Research outputs 2022 to 2026
Ethylene is a key trigger that governs the rate of fruit ripening, storability, and postharvest quality of fresh fruit. Efficient inhibition of ethylene action is essential to slow down the postharvest ripening processes, extend storage life and maintain optimum fruit quality during storage. Ethylene antagonist compounds with the likelihood of application as liquid formulation would facilitate managing ethylene broadly as both preharvest and/or postharvest treatments. This study examined the effects of different aqueous formulations of 1 H-cyclopropa[b]naphthalene (NC) as an ethylene antagonist in the cold stored (1 °C) Japanese plums ‘Angeleno’ (suppressed-climacteric) and ‘Tegan Blue’, which exhibit climacteric peaks, respectively. …
