Identifying Gene Expression Differences Induced by Diets that Lead to Higher Omega-3 Fatty-Acid Deposition in Beef Cows
DownloadFall 2015
A strong emphasis on the type of fatty acids (FAs) consumed in the human diet has emerged in recent years. In this context, the various health benefits of consuming omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been widely reported. Supplementation of beef cattle diets with flaxseed, a...

Improving beef hamburger quality and fatty acid profiles through dietary manipulation and exploitation of fat depot heterogeneity
Download2014
Dugan, Michael E. R., Rolland, David C., Uttaro, Bethany, Aalhus, Jennifer L., Block, Hushton C., Vahmani, Payam, Mapiye, Cletos, Proctor, Spencer D., McAllister, Timothy A.
Background Hamburger is the most consumed beef product in North America, but lacks in nutritional appeal due to its high fat content and high proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFA). Objectives of the present study were to improve the FA profiles of hamburgers made with perirenal fat (PRF) and...

Influence of cyclopropane fatty acids on heat, high pressure, acid, and oxidative stress resistance in Escherichia coli
Download2016-01-01
Chen, Yuan Yao, Gänzle, Michael G.
Heat and high pressure resistant strains of Escherichia coli are a challenge to food safety. This study investigated effects of cyclopropane fatty acids (CFAs) on stress tolerance in the heat- and pressure-resistant strain E. coli AW1.7 and the sensitive strain E. coli MG1655. The role of CFAs...

Influence of sire breed on the interplay among rumen microbial populations inhabiting the rumen liquid of the progeny in beef cattle
Download2013
Guan, L. L., Wang, Z., Zhou, M., Goonewardene, L. A., Moore, S. S., Hernandez-Sanabria, E.
This study aimed to evaluate whether the host genetic background impact the ruminal microbial communities of the progeny of sires from three different breeds under different diets. Eighty five bacterial and twenty eight methanogen phylotypes from 49 individuals of diverging sire breed (Angus,...

Initial differences in lipid processing leading to pig- and beef-derived mature adipocyte dedifferentiation
Download2009
Fernyhough, Melinda E., Hausman, Gary J., Guan, Leluo, Guridi, Maitea, Jiang, Zhihua, Dodson, Michael V., Chen, Jie
Clonal cultures of pig-derived mature adipocytes are capable of dedifferentiating and forming proliferative-competent progeny cells in vitro. Initial lipid processing, is different to that observed in cultures of beef-derived adipocytes. Mature pig adipocytes extrude lipid before proliferation,...

Integrating Data Analytics and Mass Balance Approaches to Estimate and Understand Regional Methane Emissions: A Study in the Permian Basin
DownloadFall 2023
Satellite-retrieved methane (CH4) concentration data offers a valuable opportunity for large-scale emissions monitoring. However, its widespread adoption remains challenging due to the data volume and varying data quality. A workflow to estimate the methane emission rate of major hydrocarbon...

Interactive effects of low voltage electrical stimulation and leg restraint on meat quality of Charolais crossbred steer carcasses
Download1990
Jones, C. R., Bruce, H. L., Ball, R. O.
The meat quality of the longissimus muscle of 12 Charolais crossbred steers that were electrically stimulated on randomly selected sides approximately 1 h postmortem was investigated. Temperature and pH measurements were taken on each side at 5 min prior and 1, 4, 24 and 48 h subsequent to...

Investigating the catalyitc combustion of methane and BTEX in a counter-diffusive radiant heater
DownloadSpring 2011
This research was aimed at investigating a counter-diffusive catalytic reactor for mitigation of methane and BTEX emissions from the natural gas dehydration process. A commercial radiant heater unit was used in the experiments and the effect of methane flow rate on its conversion was studied....

Measurements of Methane Pyrolysis in a Constant Volume Batch Reactor at High Temperatures and Pressures
DownloadFall 2021
Methane pyrolysis is a process used to generate hydrogen gas and carbon black without the creation of carbon dioxide. Methane pyrolysis in a constant volume batch reactor was investigated at temperatures of 892 K, 1093 K, and 1292 K with reaction times of 15 s, 30 s, 60 s, 180 s, and 300 s with...

Methane Production and Emission Mitigation in Oil Sands Tailings Concurrent with Hydrocarbon Degradation under Nitrogen Limited Conditions
DownloadFall 2020
Alberta’s oil sands generate large volumes of tailings from bitumen ore processing. These tailings ponds produce biogenic methane, which can be measured across 60-80% of the tailings surface. Based on current surface area data and emissions studies, tailings ponds could account for 8% of Canada’s...
