• Optical reflectance in fibrous tissues and skeletal muscles 

    Ranasinghesagara, Janaka C. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
    We studied diffuse optical reflectance in two anisotropic biological tissues: high moisture soy extrudates and skeletal muscles. High moisture extrusion of soy proteins can produce healthy alternative protein sources that ...
  • Polyurethane foams from novel soy-based polyols 

    Tu, Yuan-Chan, 1974- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
    Polyurethane foams and molded plastic films were prepared by reacting isocyanates with polyols containing 50% of vegetable oil-based polyols and 50% of petroleum-based polyols. The vegetable oil-based polyols included ...
