Understanding postprandial inflammation and its relationship to lifestyle behaviour and metabolic diseases
Download2012
Cabezas, Manuel C., Mamo, John C., Proctor, Spencer D., Botham, Kathleen M., Klop, Boudewijn
Postprandial hyperlipidemia with accumulation of remnant lipoproteins is a common metabolic disturbance associated with atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction, particularly during chronic disease states such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and, diabetes. Remnant lipoproteins become attached...

Understanding the influence of state/phase transitions on ice recrystallization in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during frozen storage
Download2012-01-01
Syamaladevi, Roopesh M., Manahiloh, Kalehiwot N., Muhunthan, Balasingam, Sablani, Shyam S.
Temperature fluctuations during storage and distribution of frozen foods lead to ice recrystallization and microstructural modifications that can affect food quality. Low temperature transitions may occur in frozen foods due to temperature fluctuations, resulting in less viscous and partially...

Understory responses to mechanical restoration and drought within Montane forests of British Columbia
Download2005
Page, Hillary N., Newman, Reg F., Bork, Edward W.
Pre- and post-thinning relationships between forest overstorey and understorey characteristics at sites in both the Interior Douglas-fir (IDF) and Ponderosa Pine (PP) biogeoclimatic zones in the East Kootenay region of southeast British Columbia were investigated to quantify understorey responses...

Use of digital images for evaluation of factors responsible for visual preference of apples by consumers
Download2002-01-01
Cliff, Margaret, Sanford, Katherine, Wismer, Wendy, Hampson, Cheryl
This research used digital images to explore some of the factors responsible for consumer preference of visual characteristics of apples (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). The images systematically varied in color and shape (Expt. A: 9 images) and type, shape, and background color (Expt. B: 10 images),...

Use of Digital Technologies in the Nutritional Management of Catabolism-Prone Chronic Diseases: A Rapid Review
Download2021-12-01
Cruz, Christofer, Prado, Carla M., Punja, Salima, Tandon, Puneeta
Background: Diet and nutrition applications (apps) have become more readily accessible as smartphone ownership increases. These apps have the potential to improve nutritional outcomes, but it remains unclear whether they are effective in patients with catabolism-prone conditions and specialized...

Use of reconstituted kefir consortia to determine the impact of microbial composition on kefir metabolite profiles
Download2023-11-01
Bourrie, Benjamin C.T., Diether, Natalie, Dias, Ryan P., Nam, Seo Lin, de la Mata, A. Paulina, Forgie, Andrew J., Gaur, Gautam, Harynuk, James J., Gänzle, Michael, Cotter, Paul D., Willing, Benjamin P.
Kefir is fermented traditionally with kefir grains, but commercial kefir production often relies on fermentation with planktonic cultures. Kefir has been associated with many health benefits, however, the utilization of kefir grains to facilitate large industrial production of kefir is...

Use of the fluorescent probe LAURDAN to label and measure inner membrane fluidity of endospores of Clostridium spp.
Download2012-10-01
Hofstetter, Simmon, Denter, Christian, Winter, Roland, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
A method for measuring the fluidity of inner membranes of populations of endospores of Clostridium spp. with a fluorescent dye was developed. Cells of Clostridium beijerinckii ATCC 8260 and Clostridium sporogenes ATCC 7955 were allowed to sporulate in the presence of...

UV-C light inactivation of penicillium expansum on pear surfaces: Influence on physicochemical and sensory quality during storage
Download2014-01-01
Syamaladevi, Roopesh M., Lupien, Shari L., Bhunia, Kanishka, Sablani, Shyam S., Dugan, Frank, Rasco, Barbara, Killinger, Karen, Dhinga, Amit, Ross, Carolyn
UV-C inactivation kinetic data of Penicillium expansum on intact and wounded pear disks were determined. P. expansum conidia (0.5 mL, 1.6 × 107 CFU/mL) were spot inoculated onto intact and wounded pear tissue with skin (excised disks), treated with UV-C doses ranging 0.101–3.06 kJ/m2 at 23 °C and...
