Addae-Mensah, Nda-Agyima K.. M.S.A.B.E., Purdue University, May 2014. Quality Changes in Hermetic Stored Corn caused by Fungi and Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky). Major Professors: Klein Ileleji and Linda Mason. Hermetic storage has been shown to be effective in controlling insect pests and maintaining grain quality of dry grains at 13% moisture and below. However, the feasibility and use of h...

AIM To detect and assess the activity of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes and to find differences in enzymograms between fungi isolated from wheat and rye samples and grown on Czapek-Dox Broth and Sabouraud Dextrose Broth enriched with cereal (wheat or rye). Isolated strains were also classified in the scale of biosafety levels (BSL). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study used 23 strains of fungi cu...

aluminum anodes have been widely used in the cathodic protection of marine structures. however there are conditions in which these anodes become passivated or face some localized or unwanted corrosion, which influences their efficiency. addition of alloying elements such as zn and in not only have improved the efficiency of the anodes but also the effect of casting parameters such as ultra melt...

Mold diseases, caused by fungal complexes including Alternaria, Cochliobolus, and Fusarium species, limit sorghum grain production. Media were tested by plating Fusarium thapsinum, Alternaria sp., and Curvularia lunata, individually and competitively. Dichloran chloramphenicol rose bengal (DRBC) and modified V8 juice (ModV8) agars, found to be useful, were compared with commonly used agar media...

The aim of current study was to determine in vitro digestibility, some microbiological properties and shelf life fermented sucuk foods consisting mixture animal vegetable natural goods produced for dogs. Grain-inclusive grain-free formulations were prepared. group subgrouped as cooked uncooked grain. In digestibility chemical composition 3 groups determined at 0, 1, 3, 6 months after production...
