Antimicrobial applications of treatments using light pulses emitted from light emitting diodes (LED)
DownloadSpring 2022
Low water activity (aw) foods have been associated with several foodborne outbreaks and recalls. Eradication of foodborne microorganisms like Salmonella and Escherichia coli from low aw foods is challenging, as they are resistant to conventional decontamination practices. High intensity light...

Spring 2022
Clubroot, caused by the soilborne pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a threat to cruciferous crops worldwide and an important disease of canola (Brassica napus L.) in Canada. At present, pathotypes of P. brassicae are distinguished phenotypically based on their virulence patterns on host...

Spring 2022
Meat products, including ready-to-eat (RTE) ham, fresh poultry meat, and dry pet foods have been associated with several foodborne outbreaks and recalls, due to the occurrence of microbial pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Elimination of these...

Spring 2022
Reproductive efficiency in the Western Canadian beef cow herd has not improved over the past 3 decades, despite consistent and measurable improvement in several related areas of production. The general objective of this thesis was to evaluate the relationships between early-observation traits...

Subcritical Water Hydrolysis of Citrus Pectin, Pea Protein Concentrate, and Their Mixture for Oligosaccharide and Peptide Production
DownloadFall 2022
Bioactive oligosaccharides and peptides have drawn great attention due to reported health benefits such as antidiabetic, anti-obesity, anticancer, anti-hypertensive, and antioxidant. The most common methods to produce oligosaccharides and peptides are enzymatic and acid hydrolysis which have...

Use of Turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapifera) and Rutabaga (B. napus var. napobrassica) for the Improvement of Clubroot Resistance in Spring B. napus Canola
DownloadFall 2022
Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most serious threats to spring Brassica napus canola production in Canada. Growing of clubroot-resistant cultivars is the key to control this disease. The genetic base of the Canadian spring B. napus canola for clubroot...

Anthocyanins and Gingerols Exhibit Synergism in their Anticancer and Antioxidant Effects in Vitro
DownloadFall 2022
Anthocyanins and gingerols are naturally occurring phenolic compounds abundant in berries and ginger, respectively. They have been reported to induce antioxidant effects, inhibit the growth of different cancer cell lines, and stimulate apoptosis by modulating different cellular signal pathways....

Evaluation of dietary calcium level effects on the productivity, eggshell quality, and bone traits of laying hens
DownloadFall 2022
Given the significance of calcium (Ca) in the metabolism of laying hens, the purpose of this thesis was to contribute to existing knowledge regarding Ca metabolism and requirements in these highly productive birds. Phosvitin (PV), is an egg yolk phospholipid protein that increases Ca...

Genetic and Genomic Characterization of Composite Beef Breeds with an Insight into the Canadian ‘Hays Converter’
DownloadFall 2022
Crossbreeding is a widely used strategy in animal breeding to benefit from complementarity and heterosis. Composite breeds are one of the products of crossbreeding in which animals maintain a stabilized combination of genetic characteristics of two or more pure breeds. Hays Converter (HC), the...

Identification and genetic mapping of resistance genes against Canadian pathotypes of Plasmodiophora brassicae in Brassica rapa and Brassica napus
DownloadFall 2022
Clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) is an important disease of canola/rapeseed (Brassica napus) and other crucifers. In this study, resistance loci/genes effective against P. brassicae pathotypes 2B, 3A, 3D, 3H, 5C, 5X and 8J were identified and mapped via genotyping-by-sequencing, QTL analysis,...
