Growth of Fusarium Graminearum on Wheat Bran/Agar Cultures in Relation to Fusarium Head Blight Susceptibility
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Research investigates the chemical basis for Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance and initiating development of a screening test for resistant wheat genotypes. The focus is on minimizing cost of screening and gaining ... -
Historical and Modern Hard Red Spring Wheat Comparison: Analysis of Proximate, Enzyme Activity, Phenolic Acid, and Starch Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Some claim modern wheat is biochemically different from historic wheat and contributes to chronic diseases. This research was necessary to determine if any significant differences existed between historic and modern hard ... -
Investigation of Protein Composition in Historical and Modern Hard Red Spring Wheat Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Many hard red spring (HRS) wheat cultivars have been released in North Dakota with improved traits. In this study, 30 HRS wheat cultivars released between 1910 and 2013 were investigated. The objectives of this study were ... -
Iron Biofortification Potential of Field Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Iron (Fe) deficiency affects more than 3 billion of the global population. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the genetic and environmental variation of seed Fe concentration and food matrix factors that ... -
Modeling and Analysis of Impacts of Right-Tum Lane Lengths
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Turn lanes have been studied for several decades, with focus being on left-tum lanes and for urban areas. The need for right-turn lanes has been studied using the impact of such turn lanes on both safety and operational ... -
Phenolic Antioxidant-Linked Bioactive Enrichment in Black Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) To Screen for Health Benefits and Enhancement of Salinity Resilience
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Dietary consumption of black bean has diverse human health benefits which can be targeted as part of dietary strategies for chronic disease management. A gap in knowledge currently exists regarding how to advance the ... -
Physicochemical Properties of Pre-Harvest Sprouted Hard Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Pre-Harvest Sprouting (PHS) can cause severe economic loss in wheat grown across many areas of the world. Prolonged rainfall before harvest and high temperatures can contribute to the occurrence of PHS. Grain growers prefer ... -
Prebiotics in Lentil (Lens Culinaris L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Prebiotic carbohydrates are an important component of healthy diet. The objectives of this study were (1) to compare the concentrations of prebiotic carbohydrates in different lentil genotypes and growing locations and (2) ... -
Quality and Estimated Glycemic Index of Bread Fortified with Soy Protein Isolate
(North Dakota State University, 2014)More than 25 and 79 million individuals in the U.S. have diabetes and pre-diabetes, respectively. Many individuals are required to monitor blood glucose levels. Glycemic index (GI), a measurement of how a food affects the ... -
Quality Improvement of Soymilk Processed from Two Soybean Varieties
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Five soymilk quality-related characteristics were investigated as affected by different grinding, heating, extraction methods and varieties. The five characteristics are (1) protein and solid recovery, (2) trypsin inhibitor ... -
Selenium on Increasing Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medikus.) Grain Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Selenium is an essential element for mammals but it has not been considered as essential for higher plants. The effect of Se application on lentil grain yield, antioxidant activity, nitrogen fixation, and seed Se concentration ... -
Utilization of Modified Starch as a Fat Replacement in Bread
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Since industrial revolution, scientist started to develop new bread formulations in order to improve bread quality and shelf life. This research investigated the effectiveness of octenyl succinate anhydride (OSA) modified ... -
Variability in Arabinoxylan, Xylanase Activity and Xylanase Inhibitor Levels in Hard Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Arabinoxylans (AX), xylanase, and xylanase inhibitors have an important role in many cereal food processing applications. The effect of growing location (L), genotype (G), and their interactions (L ×G) on AX, apparent ... -
White Bread and Whole Wheat Bread: Comparison of End-Product Quality, Starch Characteristics and Nutritional Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Wheat, an important crop in North Dakota and the United States, is often used for bread. Health concerns related to chronic diseases have caused a shift towards consumption of whole wheat bread. This research investigated ...
