Development of food adulteration detection methods utilizing NMR spectroscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Food adulteration is the act of diluting foodstuffs with undeclared fillers or outright substitution with other materials. While this practice has occurred since the dawn of recorded history it has remained difficult to ... -
Docosahexaenoic acid and lipid peroxidation products : insights from studies with microglial cells and mouse brain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Oxidative stress is known to play an important role in neurodegenerative diseases. Microglia are the primary innate immune cells in the central nervous ... -
LC-MS/MS method development for quantification of bioactive compounds in elderberry and garlic botanicals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Elderberry (Sambucus nigra spp.) juice contains a variety of polyphenols mostly anthocyanins. In order to understand the variation of polyphenol levels by genotype, various elderberry juice samples were analyzed for total ... -
LC-MS/MS method development for quantitative analysis of cyanogenic glycosides in elderberry and lipid peroxidation products in mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Cyanogenic glycosides (CNGs) are naturally occurring plant molecules (nitrogenous plant secondary metabolites) which consist of an aglycone and a sugar moiety. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is released from these compounds following ... -
Spectroscopic studies of transmembrane helical peptides and LC-MS/MS method development and validation for PFAS quantitation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Water hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) to [alpha]-helical transmembrane (TM) peptides is fundamental to understanding the behavior and function of [alpha]-helical peptides, disease pathways, and the development of new drugs. ... -
Strategies for the attachment of organic functional groups to silicon surfaces and measurement of vapor pressure of ionic liquids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Surface modifications of silicon surfaces have been studied for several decades. There are several approaches for attaching organic molecules with specific functionalities to these surfaces, utilizing both the selectivity ... -
Surface chemistry studies of carbon dioxide with magnesium oxide and titanium dioxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)There is significant interest in methods to aid in the removal of carbon dioxide from our environment. The methods range from sequestration to catalytic transformations. In sequestration, CO2 is collected from emission ...
