Development Of A Portable Low-Moisture Food Pasteurization Device Using Rf Heating, Eric Jason Ohata
Master's Theses
Bacterial presence in low-moisture foods such as flour, cereals, baby formula, and spices, have become a concern due to sanitizing challenges. The food industry currently focuses on wet food sanitation as opposed to low-moisture foods because of bacteria’s inability to reproduce in low water activity media. Traditionally, food processing RF heating pasteurizes in mass quantities while an equivalent consumer device does not exist the market today. A consumer product would help eliminate food waste by providing an easy way to sanitize food and extend shelf life. The Portable Food Pasteurization (PFP) project is an interdisciplinary project involving the Electrical Engineering, …

Solanum Jamesii As A Food Crop: History And Current Status Of A Unique Potato, David Kinder, John Bamberg, Lisbeth Louderback, Bruce Pavlik, Alfonso Del Rio
Pharmacy Faculty Scholarship
Solanum jamesii is a wild potato found in the US southwest. There is ample evidence that this potato was used by ancestral Puebloans as a food source, where some researchers think it was used as a starvation food while others consider it to be regular food source. Currently this potato is being grown by Native Americans, notably the Navajo, as a specialty food as well as a food crop. There are several attributes to this potato that make it especially suitable for development as our climate changes and food needs become more demanding, including its drought tolerance and ability to …

Coupled Effects Of Hydrophilic Nano Silica Oxide And Anatase Nano Titanium Oxide On Strengths Of Oilwell Cement, Petro E Mabeyo, Jun Gu
Tanzania Journal of Science
The life of oilwells depends on the stability of cement sheath and bond strength with the formation and casing. Extreme subsurface conditions cause substantial stresses on the cement sheath resulting in a serious impact on well integrity. The recommended API cement for oilwell fails to provide the required durability of the cemented well due to such conditions. Supplementary cementitious materials such as nanoparticles are added to improve the cement for long-lasting zonal isolation. In this study, the compressive and shear bond strengths of oilwell cement containing nano-SiO2 and nano-TiO2 were studied at 80 °C for 3, 7, 14, and 28 …
