Antioxidants in Chicken Egg Yolk: Effects of Cooking, Storage and Gastrointestinal Digestion
DownloadSpring 2015
Nimalaratne, Liyana Arachchilage Chamila K.
Eggs are one of the most nutritious and economically affordable foods. They contain high quality proteins and lipids and serve as an important source of vitamins and minerals. Despite the nutritional importance, the egg industry is vulnerable to the consumers’ perception about egg cholesterol and...

CHROMATOGRAPHY APPROACHES FOR ANALYZING FRYING OILS AND ASSESSING THE ANTIOXIDATIVE ABILITY OF SITOSTEROL
DownloadFall 2013
The novel utility of sitosterol as an antioxidant in frying oils is explained mechanistically based on physical organic chemistry principles. The antioxidative effect of sitosterol is attributed to the conversion of sterol to steradiene by the 1, 2 elimination of water, which may be catalyzed by...

Severe localized corrosion was found throughout an aeration tank of a modular wastewater treatment plant. Specifically, pitting, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and intergranular corrosion (IGC) were observed on the 5000 and 6000 series aluminum alloys used in the tank’s construction. One...

Effects of dietary combination of 25-OH-D3 and canthaxanthin on performance, meat yield, bone characteristics and antioxidant status of broilers housed under commercial and experimental conditions
DownloadFall 2014
The effects of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25-OH-D3), canthaxanthin (CX), alone and in combination on broiler performance, meat yield, oxidative status, skin colour and bone characteristics were evaluated in a field trial in Colombia and also under controlled experimental conditions in Canada. The...

Exploring the role of the thioredoxin system, peroxiredoxins and glutaredoxins in aluminum and cadmium tolerance in yeast and Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2011
Aluminum (Al) and cadmium (Cd) are non-redox active metal ions of agricultural importance. Both are able to induce oxidative damage as a mechanism of toxicity. To increase our understanding of the mechanisms of Al and Cd toxicity and tolerance in plants, the potential role of antioxidant enzymes...

We examined the production of high-surface area anodized porous aluminum (Al) oxide within a micro-scale channel. A potential surface modification using an initial layer of oxidized tantalum (Ta) was also studied. Channels were etched into a layer of silicon dioxide on silicon wafers (groups of...
