Objective: To compare the diet quality and overweight status of free-living adults, ages 20 years older, grouped based on their fast food intake status.Methods: USDA's 1994 to 1996 Continuing Survey Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII 1994–1996) data was used. Three separate analyses were conducted: (1) effect males females day-one data, (2) comparison dietary adults who ate one- two- or none survey days (3) within-person analysis comparing energy macronutrient intakes one two days. SUDAAN...
ABSTRACT Although amylose content is considered the most important determinant of cooked rice texture, this constituent falls short as a predictor, because cultivars with similar contents may differ in textural properties. Thus, amylography used one battery tests, addition to measuring content, improve differentiation cultivars. The purpose our study was determine how well conducted Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) serves predictor alone and combination, content. Textural properties 87 samples...
The utility of photopigments and absorption signatures to detect enumerate the red tide dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium breve, was evaluated in laboratory cultures natural assemblages. carotenoid, gyroxanthindiester, an adequate biomarker for G. breve biomass; water‐column concentrations corresponded with cell standing crops chlorophyll a during bloom events Sarasota Bay, Florida. Unlike other carotenoids, relative abundance gyroxanthin‐diester did not change throughout range physiological...
Temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration [CO 2 ] affect cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) growth development, but the interaction of these two factors on boll fiber properties has not been studied. An experiment was conducted in naturally lit plant chambers to determine influence temperature (cv. DPL‐51) parameters. Five regimes were evaluated: 1995 at Mississippi State, MS; minus 2°C; plus 2, 5, 7°C. Daily seasonal variation amplitudes maintained. Atmospheric treatments 360...
Resveratrol is a phytochemical that has been under consideration for use as prostate cancer chemopreventive agent. However, the efficacy, well mechanisms of action resveratrol on prevention, remains largely unknown. This study seeks to address these questions and examine preventive effects using complementary human LNCaP cell culture xenograft models. In cultured cells, we found inhibited growth. The growth inhibitory appeared be through modulation both androgen- estrogen-mediated events....
It is recognized that cool egg storage for 8 d or longer, commonly employed in broiler parent and commercial layer production, reduces hatchability. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of short periods incubation during (SPIDES) restoration hatchability hatching eggs stored 21 d. Prolonged reduced untreated from 92 to 71%. The SPIDES treatment, which consisted four 4-h preincubations at 4- 5-d intervals storage, time restored 84% by lowering both early late embryo mortality (P =...
Background: Consumption of cocoa-derived polyphenols has been associated with several health benefits; however, their effects on the intestinal microbiome and related features host are not adequately understood. Objective: The objective this study was to determine eating flavanol-enriched cocoa powder composition gut microbiota, tissue metabolite profiles, immune status. Methods: Male pigs (5 mo old, 28 kg mean body weight) were supplemented 0, 2.5, 10, or 20 g powder/d for 27 d. Metabolites...
Untreated biological soil amendments of animal origin (BSAAO), such as manure, are commonly used to fertilize soils for growing fruit and vegetable crops can contain enteric bacterial foodborne pathogens. Little is known about the comparative longitudinal survival pathogens in agricultural fields containing different types BSAAO, field data may be useful determine intervals between manure application harvest produce intended human consumption minimize illness. This study generated 324...
ABSTRACT The effects of drying conditions, final moisture content, and degree milling on the texture cooked rice varieties, as measured by profile analysis, were investigated. Instrumentally textural properties not significantly (α = 0.05) affected with exception cohesiveness. Cohesiveness was lower in dried at temperatures (18°C or ambient) than that higher commercial temperatures. Final content property values for adhesiveness, cohesiveness, hardness, springiness; their interdependent....
ABSTRACT Waxy (short grain), long grain, and parboiled (long grain) rice flours were extruded using three different temperatures five water feed rates. The absorption solubility index of the extrudates was 0.67–5.86 86.45–10.03%, respectively. fat similar to that unextruded with an average value 0.96 g/g ± 0.12. Bulk density decreased increase in moisture, except waxy rice, which had a quadratic relationship. viscosity profiles for grain similar. Both initially increased (>130 RVU), then...
ABSTRACT Different cultures have different preferences for cooked rice flavor and texture characteristics. These differences provide opportunities U.S. varieties to fit into global markets meet consumer demands worldwide. It is important assess the properties of determine factors that influence their eating quality. Cooked attributes can be affected by postharvest handling practices, such as degree milling, drying condition, final moisture. This article reports effects parameters on medium‐...
Protein and oil concentration are seed constituents that make soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] an important crop. Reports have been published the recently protein of U.S. has decreasing with respect to other exporting countries. The objective this study was utilize 51 yr two data sets, Uniform Soybean Tests, Northern Region Southern determine long-term trends in these constituents. Oil composition lines from Regional Summaries Maturity Groups OO through VIII were used for analysis. Mean...
Attraction of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to 1-octen-3-ol (octenol), CO2, lactic acid or ammonia emitted by vertebrate hosts is not only contingent on the presence odorants in environment, but also influenced insect's physiological state. For anautogenous mosquito species, like Ae. aegypti, newly emerged adult females neither respond host odors nor engage blood-feeding; bases for these behaviors are poorly understood. Here we investigated detection two components an attractant blend...
Considerable interest exists in improving the efficiency of photosynthesis and photorespiration to increase crop yields that will address growing world food needs. The current study investigated whether a novel synthetic photorespiratory pathway demonstrated reduce metabolic energy demands plant vegetative biomass model species could boost tomato yield, notably yield marketable fruit. cultivar Moneymaker was transformed with construct containing Cucurbita maxima malate synthase (MS) gene...
