Abstract Consumption of nutrient‐rich seaweeds and fermented nondairy foods represent fast growing trends among health‐minded consumers. Assessment lacto‐fermented seaweed was performed to address these trends, offer shelf‐life extension product diversification for fresh kelps. The objectives were evaluate the effects kelp species inclusion level on fermentation kinetics, physicochemical quality, safety, shelf‐life, consumer acceptability a sauerkraut‐style product. Six formulations with...

Chaga, a sclerotia formed by the Inonotus obliquus fungus, has been widely recognized for number of medicinal properties. Although numerous scientific investigations have published describing various biological activities chaga from different geographical locations, little work focused on harvested in USA or extraction techniques to maximize anti-inflammatory The aim this study was investigate properties collected Maine (USA) extracted using traditional aqueous (hot water steeping) methods...

Abstract: Soft goat cheese was fortified with four levels of purified fish oil (0, 60, 80, and 100 g per 3600 milk) prior to curd formation deliver high eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) docosahexaenoic (DHA) serving. The evaluated for proximate composition, EPA+DHA content, oxidative stability, color, pH, consumer acceptability. partially vacuum packed stored at 2 °C weeks. fat content significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the treatments compared control, but not different among treatments....

To assess the presence of organochlorine pollutants (OCP) in Alaskan sub-Arctic latitudes, we analyzed ice core and meltwater samples from Jarvis Glacier, a polythermal glacier Interior Alaska. Glacier is receding as atmospheric warming continues throughout region, increasing opportunity for OCP transport both englacially into proglacial watershed. Across glacial samples, utilize solid-phase extraction technology identify pesticides DDT, DDE DDD, α-HCH γ-HCH. concentrations were highest at...

Black soldier fly larvae, Hermetia illucens (L.), are used to convert organic waste streams into insect-based animal feeds. We tested their ability retain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA), and docosahexaenoic (DHA) from feeding substrates, which has important implications for use in aquaculture. When supplementing a chicken feed diet with increasing concentrations of salmon oil (0-42%) over an number days (0-8), the three omega-3 acids larvae increased significantly. Larval...

It has been proposed that pollen nutritional content is the most important factor in selection of flowers by bees. We hypothesized and nectar quality affect bee visitation among co-flowering plant species. also increased soil fertility increases subsequently floral visitation. conducted two field studies to test these hypotheses. In first experiment, we recorded following taxa groups bees: 1) Apis mellifera (L.), 2) Bombus ternarius Say, 3) spp., 4) Other Bees (solitary bees); visiting...

ABSTRACT: The objectives of this study were to develop a value‐added jerky‐style snack from salmon flesh and minimize loss healthful lipids during processing. Three formulations extruded in laboratory‐scale twin‐screw extruder. base formulation included Atlantic (82%, w/w), sucrose (4%), pregelatinized starch (3%), modified tapioca salt (2%), teriyaki flavoring (2%). oil binding agents (tapioca starch, high‐amylose cornstarch, oat fiber) each studied at the 4% level. Barrel temperature, feed...

A shelf-life study was conducted to evaluate the effect of antioxidants on oxidative stability extruded jerky-style salmon snacks. Deterioration docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) due lipid oxidation is a major concern for this healthy snack. control jerky with no added 4 jerkies (rosemary, mixed tocopherols, tertiary butylhydroquinone, ascorbyl palmitate) as 0.02% content were in duplicate Coperion ZSK-25 twin screw extruder. Salmon from each formulation placed 3 mil...

Abstract Nutrient and energy flows across ecosystem boundaries subsidize recipient communities influence bottom‐up processes in food webs. Migratory fish such as anadromous sea lamprey provide a pulse of marine‐derived nutrients to Atlantic coastal streams spring when organisms would otherwise be subject limiting resources. We conducted carcass addition experiments characterize the role subsidies on producer consumer trophic pathways by manipulating subsidy quantity light exposure....

Oat and soy-based nutrition bars were fortified with 4 levels of fish oil (0, 6, 12, or 18 g per approximately 600 batch), representing 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% replacement canola oil. The commercially available purified was not emulsified nor encapsulated, contained tocopherols. Baked evaluated for proximate composition, water activity, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA), docosahexaenoic (DHA) content, consumer acceptance using a 9-point hedonic scale. sealed in opaque bags stored...

Mixed microorganism cultures are prevalent in the food industry. A variety of microbiological mixtures have been used these unique fermenting processes to create distinctive flavor profiles and potential health benefits. typically not well characterized, which may be due lack simple measurement tools. Image-based cytometry systems employed automatically count bacteria or yeast cells. In this work, we aim develop a novel image method distinguish enumerate mixed beer products. Cellometer X2...

Abstract: During smoked salmon processing, the dark meat along lateral line is removed before packaging; this by‐product currently has little economic value. In study, trim was incorporated into an extruded jerky. Three formulations were processed: 100% trim, 75% : 25% fresh fillet, and 50% blends (w/w basis). The base formulation contained (approximately 83.5%), tapioca starch (8%), pregelatinized potato (3%), sucrose (4%), salt (1.5%), sodium nitrate (0.02%), ascorbyl palmitate (0.02% of...

• Premise of the study: Seedling success is determined by evolved strategies intrinsic genetic programming and plasticity that are regulated extrinsic pathways. We tested relative importance these mechanisms in red spruce ( Picea rubens Sarg.) balsam fir Abies balsamea Lin.), which share understory regeneration niches northeastern North America. Although its reproductive effort adequate, has decreased abundance, relation to fir, seedling sapling populations, even forests have a predominance...
