Quantification and risk assessment of seed-mediated gene flow with flax as a platform crop for bioproducts
DownloadFall 2009
Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is being considered as a platform crop for the development of bioproducts. Potential benefits of bioindustrial farming include the provison of bioenergy and biomaterials, and opportunities for biorefining. Prior to the commercialization of crops intended for...

Several obstacles to widespread use of bacteriocins in food have been identified, including lack of specific, rapid quantitation methods, and little data on their efficacy in food systems. The first objective of this study was to develop a specific, rapid quantitation method for bacteriocins...

Molecules of anthocyanins and quinones possess distinctive electrophilic character, which is demonstrated by their facile reactions with nucleophiles such as sulfite, thiols, amines and water. In food systems, one of their likely targets would be nucleophilic centers in the side chains of amino...

Egg is one of the major food allergens that affects 1.6~3.2% of the infants and young children population. The objective of this study is to reduce the egg white IgE binding ability by lactobacilli or Aspergillus oryzae fermentation. Modifications of egg white proteins during fermentation were...

Screening of Brassica germplasm for resistance to Plasmodiophora brassicae pathotypes prevalent in Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2010
Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, poses a threat to the Canadian canola industry, and breeding of resistant cultivars is urgent. The objective of this study was to identify Brassica germplasm possessing resistance to Canadian P. brassicae pathotypes based on greenhouse...

Simultaneous measurement of protein and energy metabolism and application to determine lysine requirements in sows
DownloadSpring 2011
Simultaneous measurements of energy and protein metabolism can provide valuable information about their interactions. Dietary lysine is limiting in typical feedstuffs fed to swine and, therefore, limits protein synthesis. Current recommendations for dietary amino acid and energy intakes may not...

Potato peel, a waste generated from potato processing is a disposal problem. But, it is a good source of phenolic compounds, sugars, and glycoalkaloids. This study examines the subcritical water extraction of phenolics, glycoalkaloids and sugars from potato peel and compares it to conventional...

Flax is an oilseed praised for high omega-3 oil, fiber and lignan content. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) can be used as a green solvent alternative to process flax bioactives. SCCO2 extraction was used to remove lignan Secoisolariciresinol Diglucoside (SDG) from full fat and defatted whole...

Competition with weeds decreases crop yields globally. Some traits are known to confer a competitive advantage to spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), but complex relationships between the competitive traits makes breeding for competitive ability difficult. Prairie organic producers use...
