Release profiles of potassium sorbate from active-edible whey protein films were determined experimentally and the mechanism of diffusion of potassium sorbate in the films was investigated. The diffusion of potassium sorbate in whey protein films was found to be non-Fickian. A m…

This thesis examines the phytochemical discovery process from temperate and tropical trees. Thirty extracts of wood and bark of hardwood trees from Eastern North America were examined for insect control and antimicrobial activities. Nine of the bark extracts and four of the wood…
Whole broilers exposed to a radiant wall (RW) at 649°C, for 0, 3, 4, 5, or 8 s or dipped in a solution containing 1% buffered sodium citrate, pH 5.8 (BSC), 0.5% citric acid (CA) or 2% liquid smoke (LS) prior to RW exposure. 5 s exposure reduced total plate count (TPC) 1.23 to 1.…
This study investigates the feasibility of using TTO and Ag+ alone and in combination either as free or liposome encapsulated agents. Based on the minimum lethal concentration (MLC), the fractional lethal concentration index (FLCI) showed that treatment with unencapsulated combi…
The aim of this thesis was to isolate the compounds responsible for the antibacterial activity of cell extracts of the marine diatom, Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Marine microalgae are not only important primary producers but, due to their phylogenetic diversity, they are also a p…
