Use of digital images for evaluation of factors responsible for visual preference of apples by consumers
Download2002-01-01
Cliff, Margaret, Sanford, Katherine, Wismer, Wendy, Hampson, Cheryl
This research used digital images to explore some of the factors responsible for consumer preference of visual characteristics of apples (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). The images systematically varied in color and shape (Expt. A: 9 images) and type, shape, and background color (Expt. B: 10 images),...

Use of Digital Technologies in the Nutritional Management of Catabolism-Prone Chronic Diseases: A Rapid Review
Download2021-12-01
Cruz, Christofer, Prado, Carla M., Punja, Salima, Tandon, Puneeta
Background: Diet and nutrition applications (apps) have become more readily accessible as smartphone ownership increases. These apps have the potential to improve nutritional outcomes, but it remains unclear whether they are effective in patients with catabolism-prone conditions and specialized...

Use of reconstituted kefir consortia to determine the impact of microbial composition on kefir metabolite profiles
Download2023-11-01
Bourrie, Benjamin C.T., Diether, Natalie, Dias, Ryan P., Nam, Seo Lin, de la Mata, A. Paulina, Forgie, Andrew J., Gaur, Gautam, Harynuk, James J., Gänzle, Michael, Cotter, Paul D., Willing, Benjamin P.
Kefir is fermented traditionally with kefir grains, but commercial kefir production often relies on fermentation with planktonic cultures. Kefir has been associated with many health benefits, however, the utilization of kefir grains to facilitate large industrial production of kefir is...

Use of the fluorescent probe LAURDAN to label and measure inner membrane fluidity of endospores of Clostridium spp.
Download2012-10-01
Hofstetter, Simmon, Denter, Christian, Winter, Roland, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
A method for measuring the fluidity of inner membranes of populations of endospores of Clostridium spp. with a fluorescent dye was developed. Cells of Clostridium beijerinckii ATCC 8260 and Clostridium sporogenes ATCC 7955 were allowed to sporulate in the presence of...

Using bioelectrical impedance analysis in children and adolescents: Pressing issues
2022-05-01
Orsso, Camila E., Gonzalez, Maria Cristina, Maisch, Michael Johannes, Haqq, Andrea M., Prado, Carla M.
Single- and multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has gained popularity as a tool to assess body composition and health status of children and adolescents, but many questions and misconceptions remain. This review addresses pressing issues researchers and health care providers may...

UV-C light inactivation of penicillium expansum on pear surfaces: Influence on physicochemical and sensory quality during storage
Download2014-01-01
Syamaladevi, Roopesh M., Lupien, Shari L., Bhunia, Kanishka, Sablani, Shyam S., Dugan, Frank, Rasco, Barbara, Killinger, Karen, Dhinga, Amit, Ross, Carolyn
UV-C inactivation kinetic data of Penicillium expansum on intact and wounded pear disks were determined. P. expansum conidia (0.5 mL, 1.6 × 107 CFU/mL) were spot inoculated onto intact and wounded pear tissue with skin (excised disks), treated with UV-C doses ranging 0.101–3.06 kJ/m2 at 23 °C and...

Vaccenic acid (VA) is a ruminant-derived trans-fat and precursor of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The objective of the present study was to explore the effects of VA on immune function in a model of the metabolic syndrome, JCR:LA-cp rats. Lean (2:1 mix of +/cp and +/+) and obese (cp/cp) rats,...

Vaccenic acid suppresses intestinal inflammation by increasing the endocannabinoid anandamide and non-cannabinoid signaling molecules in a rat model of the metabolic syndrome
Download2016
Jacome-Sosa, Miriam, Proctor, Spencer D., Field, Catherine J., Vacca, Claudia, Nelson, Randy C., Mangat, Rabban, Reaney, Martin J., Curtis, Jonathan M., Banni, Sebastiano, Diane, Abdoulaye, Piomelli, Daniele, Igarash, Miki, Vine, Donna F., Shen, Jianheng
Vaccenic acid (VA), the predominant ruminant-derived trans fat in the food chain, ameliorates hyperlipidemia, yet mechanisms remain elusive. We investigated whether VA could influence tissue endocannabinoids (ECs) by altering the availability of their biosynthetic precursor, arachidonic acid...

Vaccenic and elaidic acid modify plasma and splenocyte membrane phospholipids and mitogen-stimulated cytokine production in obese insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats
Download2010
Ruth, Megan R., Reaney, Martin J., Vine, Donna F., Goruk, Susan, Yu, Howe-Ming, Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D., Wang, Ye
This study assessed the long-term effects of dietary vaccenic acid (VA) and elaidic acid (EA) on plasma and splenocyte phospholipid (PL) composition and related changes in inflammation and splenocyte phenotypes and cytokine responses in obese/insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats. Relative to lean...
