Inactivation of wild type bacillus spores in a soy meat analog model by extrusion cooking
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The heat resistance of spores continues to be a challenge in food processing applications. Suitable methods that effectively inactivate spores without producing adverse effects on quality and nutrition of food products are ... -
Investigation of ethnic food safety : microbiological and consumer behavioral approaches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] As ethnic cuisines become popular in the United States, more foodborne illnesses associated with ethnic cuisine have been observed by food safety ... -
Microencapsulation and viability of a probiotic in a simulated gastrointestinal environment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)The human-origin probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG (LGG) proved to exert health benefits in dogs. Like other strains, the viability of this probiotic is reduced while passing through the stomach and upper intestine ... -
Novel PCR-based rapid detection strategies for Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in meat products
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Accurate and fast detection methods for foodborne pathogens from various food samples have always been important goals for scientists from many research areas. DNA-based PCR techniques cannot differentiate between DNA from ... -
Photocatalytic antimicrobial coating for food contact surfaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Food-borne diseases cause approximately 9.4 million illnesses each year in the United States, while globally, these diseases cause approximately 600 million cases of illness and [approximately] 420,000 deaths. Food contact ... -
Physical characterization and antimicrobial properties of PVA-cellulose nanofiber based films
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Hybrid biopolymer-based composite films made up of 5% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), 2.3% cellulose nano fibers (CNFs) and 1% chitosan, 4% glycerol and 0.5% cinnamon or clove essential oils (EOs) were prepared via a solution ... -
Prevention of biofilm formation on food contact surfaces by nanoscale plasma coating
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Microbial biofilm formation can lead to a series of important safety problems in food industry because, once formed, the microbial cells are much harder to remove compared to plankton cells and can lead to circulating ... -
Probiotic-supplemented soy bar effects on resistance to infection by listeria monocytogenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Probiotics are living microorganisms that help regulate the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this project was to investigate the benefits of probiotics and their inhibitory effect on Listeria monocytogenes EGD. Three ... -
Puffing of okara/rice blends using a rice cake machine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Okara is the by-product of soymilk and tofu manufactures. It is cheap and nutritious having great potential to be applied in healthy snack foods. In this study, a puffed soy/rice cake product was developed and consumer ... -
Simultaneous quantitation of Escherichia coli O157:H7, salmonella and shigella in ground beef by multiplex real-time PCR and immunomagnetic separation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The objectives of this study were to establish a real-time multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for simultaneous quantitation of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella and Shigella that have been implicated in a number ... -
Survival and exopolysaccharide production of lactic acid bacteria grown on grape pomace
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) used by the food industry, are typically produced using refined substrates. In this study we consider the possibility of using a food industy by-product, grape pomace, as the substrate. ... -
Survival of freeze-dried probiotics in soy protein powder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)A series of well diffusion assays determined that Bifidobacterium longum B6 (B6) and Lactobacillus paracasei ATCC 25598 (LP) best inhibited pathogenic bacteria. These bacteria were freeze-dried in the presence of sucrose, ... -
Transfer of Listera monocytogenes and Escherichia coli 0157:H7 during food processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In the study of the transfer of L. monocytogenes from an inoculated slicer to roast beef products, at the high inoculum level of 108 CFU/ml, cells ... -
Valorization of purple corn pericarp using two-pot emerging thermal and non-thermal extraction technologies and evaluation of product quality, structure, and bioactivity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)The pericarp of purple corn has traditionally been thought of as being a byproduct. However, it is an excellent source of high-value polyphenols (such as anthocyanins, proanthocyanins, etc.) that could be extracted and ...
