Manufacturing Optimization of Non-Traditional Pasta Products
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
A study was conducted to determine the effect of including non-traditional ingredients on the flow and agglomeration properties of flour formulations, the rheological behavior of pasta dough, and the physical and cooked ...
Structurally Diverse Arabinoxylan Hydrolyzates: Their Activity as Immunomodulators and their Effect on Growth of Bacteroidetes
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Arabinoxylan (AX) is a plant polysaccharide which consists of a xylan backbone on which arabinose is substituted. Thirty structurally different wheat arabinoxylan hydrolyzates (AXH) were prepared by means of different ...
Whole-Wheat Flour Milling and the Effect of Durum Genotypes and Traits on Whole-Wheat Pasta Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
An ultra-centrifugal mill was evaluated by determining the effect of mill configuration and seed conditioning on particle size distribution and quality of whole-wheat (WW) flour. Ultra-centrifugal mill configured with rotor ...
Evaluation of Pea Protein and Modified Pea Protein as Egg Replacers
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Native yellow pea (Pisum sativum) protein isolates (PPIs) showed good foaming and emulsifying properties but a poor gelling characteristic. However, this can be corrected by Transglutaminase (TGase) treatment. PPIs were ...
Characterization of Edible Bean Flours: Properties and Functionality
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Consumption of pulses is considered part of a healthy diet. Therefore, the opportunity exists for development of new pulse-based ingredients. However, a better understanding of their properties is necessary. The compositional ...
Prediction of Wort Fermentability in Two-Rowed Barley Genotypes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Fermentability is the parameter that describes the ability of yeast to turn sweet wort into alcohol. As the efficiency of this process is related with alcohol yield, it will regulate the amount of beer produced from a given ...
Photons in Action: Asymmetric Synthesis and Polymer Degradation
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Light is an environmentally benign and renewable source of energy that finds wide application in
the field of science. This dissertation explores two areas of chemistry that utilizes light extensively viz.,
asymmetric ...
Structural Studies of the Mechanism by Which BCL-2 and Beclin Proteins Regulate Autophagy and Apoptosis
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Autophagy and apoptosis are catabolic pathways essential for homeostasis in all eukaryotes. While autophagy usually promotes cell-survival by enabling degradation and recycling of damaged macromolecules, apoptosis is the ...
Strategic Functionalization of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes to Manipulate their Electronic and Optical Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are unique materials that exhibit chirality-specific properties due to their one-dimensional confinement. As a result, they are explored for a wide range of applications including ...
Biophysical Studies of Ligand Binding to Human Histone Deacetylase-8
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Due to an involvement in various patho-physiological conditions, human histone deacetylases (HDACs) are high priority drug targets for the treatment of several diseases, such as cancer, heart failure, neurodegeneration, ...
