Fall 2011
This study determined how chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer alters hepatic fat metabolism. Livers were isolated from tumor-bearing animals after one and two cycles of chemotherapy consisting of irinotecan plus 5-fluorouracil. Fatty acid amounts and composition within triglycerides (TG)...

Fall 2011
The avian egg is an excellent source of nutrients, and consists of components with beneficial properties but there is a limited knowledge on the effect of various cooking methods and gastrointestinal digestion on antioxidant activity of eggs. The present study was focused on the effect of cooking...

Fall 2011
Feed efficiency affects profitability and sustainability in beef production systems. Since ruminal microbes play essential roles in feed digestion and conversion, the overall objective of this project was to investigate the association between ruminal bacteria and feed efficiency of beef cattle....

Spring 2011
Barley protein based microcapsules (1-5µm) incorporating fish oil/β-carotene were successfully prepared. Well suspended solid microcapsules, rather than emulsions, were able to form after high pressure emulsifying process. These wet-status microcapsules could be turned into dry powder by a spray...

Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of healthy eating strategies in schools in Alberta
DownloadFall 2011
The Alberta Nutrition Guidelines for Children and Youth were released in June 2008 aiming to provide schools with a tool to help students make healthy food choices. A multiple case study design (n=3) was used to identify what factors influenced the adoption and implementation of the guidelines...

Fall 2011
Consumer acceptance of meat depends on its colour and there is a negative bias in North America for broiler dark meat. Freezing and cooking leads to changes in meat characteristics and colour of broiler chicken thighs. The first experiment focused on the effect of freezing and cooking on broiler...

Characterization and silencing of differentially abundant proteins from Pyrenophora tritici-repentis
DownloadFall 2011
Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is an important foliar disease of wheat. Three genes (stp, unp and glu) encoding proteins previously found to be more abundant in pathogenic versus non-pathogenic fungal isolates were cloned, characterized, heterologously expressed, and silenced...

Spring 2011
Consumers and Canadian poultry processors were interviewed to understand the overall perception of bone-in chicken meat and to gain insight on the defect of black bone discoloration, a color defect that appears in cooked bone-in chicken. Through the consumer science technique of laddering, food...

Fall 2011
Coupling supercritical CO2 extraction with membrane separation leads to energy savings by recycling CO2 at supercritical state while separating extract components. Commercially available polyamide-based membranes are commonly used with coupled systems due to their availability and robust...
