gene was identified; its full-length cDNA was cloned from a library and sequenced. The cDNA is a novel member of the Ras-superfamily and was named Dexras1 due to its ability to be induced by dexamethasone. Experiments are in progress to characterize the role of Dexras1 in the pituitary and in other steroid-responsive tissues. Overall, differential display was extremely useful in identification ...

Survey elicitation of consumer preferences for product attributes where survey-taker inattention bias exists can lead to irrational choices. Survey-taker measures, such as screen reading time, be confounded by repeat purchasers taking the survey. This study estimates willingness pay (WTP) farmstead milk attributes, including pasteurization type (VAT, HTST, Ultra), packaging (plastic, paper, gla...

Low fat (LF) cheddar cheese develops flavor during aging uncharacteristic of full fat (FF) cheese, such as rosey and burnt/brothy flavors and bitter taste. Our objective was to determine if this is a function of differences in salt-in-moisture (S/M) content. Full fat and LF curd was made (in triplicate) using 700 kg of milk and salted to produce cheese with S/M typical of LF cheese. Half the cu...

Protection efficiency of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging comprising light protective additives (LPA) was investigated for ultra-high temperature (UHT) 2% milk over 26 weeks in refrigerated LED-lighted retail case storage. For the first time, synergistic efficacy titanium dioxide (TiO2) and carbon black (CB) pigments PET protecting nutrients flavor evaluated this study. Combination Ti...
