The Demand for Food Safety: An Empirical Analysis of Preferences for Pesticide and Hormone Regulation by Alberta Consumers
Download1996
Veeman, Michele M., Kuperis, Peter, Hrudey, Steve, Adamowicz, Wiktor
The safety of food is a continuing concern for consumers. A Consumer's Association of Canada survey found that 25% of consumers \"worry a lot\" about food safety. When asked about specific food safety issues, 42% indicated pesticides as a major source of concern. Pollution, preservatives and...

Synthesis and biological evaluation of the lantibiotic peptide lactocin S and its analogues
DownloadSpring 2012
Lantibiotics (lanthionine containing antibiotics) are highly post-translationally modified peptides used by bacteria as a form of chemical warfare. In light of the challenges faced today in the field of antibacterial therapy, these potent natural products are useful lead compounds for the...

The mechanism of heat resistance in an exceptionally resistant strain of E. coli was investigated. E. coli AW1.7 was compared to a heat sensitive strain, E. coli GGG10. The heat resistance of both strains was increased by inclusion of NaCl, but only E. coli AW1.7 exhibited a consistent heat...

Quantification of bacteriocin gene expression in Carnobacterium maltaromaticum ATCC PTA-5313
DownloadFall 2014
Carnobacterium maltaromaticum ATCC PTA-5313, which produces bacteriocins carnocyclin A, piscicolin 126 and carnobacteriocin BM1, has been approved for use on meat products to control the growth of Listeria monocytogenes. This combination of bacteriocins is very effective as a biopreservative. It...

Investigation on the uptake of functional proteins and infectious prions into wheat plants through the root system
DownloadSpring 2014
Prions are the proteinaceous particle responsible for infections in a class of neurodegenerative diseases. These diseases affect a number of mammals including cervids where it is termed Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). Prions enter the environment and persist for years. Plants have the ability to...

The objectives of this study were to determine the microbial ecology of “blown-pack” fresh beef obtained from a federally inspected facility and to use biopreservation to prevent spoilage of vacuum packaged chilled beef. Organic acids and alcohols in the purge obtained from the “blown” beef...

Structural Studies of Peptides that Influence the Pathogenicity of Bacterial Infections, and Investigation of Structure-Activity-Relationships of Antimicrobial Peptides with Application to Cancer Therapy.
DownloadFall 2017
Enterocin 7 is a two-component, leaderless bacteriocin comprised of an A and B peptide and produced by Enterococcus faecalis 710C. The secondary structure of enterocin 7B was investigated through circular dichroism. A high degree of α-helicity was discovered by circular dichroism, regardless of...
