Immobilization has the potential to make enzyme utilization more cost efficient, but reduced enzymatic activity makes it unfeasible. The purpose of this study was to develop immobilized cellulase systems on silica supports that retain high enzymatic activity. Two of the four systems created...

This thesis describes the development of two types of flow-through microreactors containing lipase immobilized onto either a hollow channel support within an optical microstructured fiber capillary (MSF) or onto a silica monolith within a fused silica capillary (SM). The large silica surface area...

Effects of supplemented NSP-degrading enzymes on nutrient digestibility of diets containing co-products fed to grower pigs
DownloadSpring 2012
Corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and wheat millrun are co-products from the ethanol and dry milling industries characterized by high non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) content that limit nutrient digestibility of co-products, which could be improved by supplementation of...

Enhancement of lignocellulosic feedstocks and biorefinery byproducts for composite and polymer applications
DownloadFall 2015
The volatility of the petroleum-based markets, increasing ecological concerns, and the accumulation of waste from the plastic industry have motivated a paradigm shift in research. Researchers are searching for sustainable, renewable, and competitive platforms ideally suited for replacement of...

Pulse-based Vegan Dog Food: Examination of Digestibility with or without Added Enzymes in Adult Dogs and Ileal Cannulated Pigs as a Model
DownloadFall 2023
Demand for vegan dog foods is growing, yet little research has been conducted concerning the digestibility of these foods for dogs. The pulses and pulse protein concentrates that provide protein in these foods contain anti-nutritional factors (ANF), which may reduce nutrient digestibility....
