Nitrites commonly found in food, especially in fermented vegetables, are potential carcinogens. Therefore, limiting nitrites in food is critically important for food safety. A Lactobacillus strain (Lactobacillus sp. DMDL 9010) was previously isolated from fermented vegetables by our group, and is not yet fully characterized. A number of phenotypical and genotypical approaches were employed to c...

tIt "i,\ 1he:;l:. ; .v This honors thesis is the result of a research project I have worked on since May 1993 and finished in April of 1994 under the direction of Dr. John R. Pichtel, as an undergraduate fellow. The purpose of the research was to develop a new analytical technique for cyanide determination in soils and wastes utilizing ion chromatography. Ion chromatography was evaluated for it...

Community–academic partnerships have demonstrated potential for studying and improving community and environmental health, but only recently have their policy impacts been systematically studied. This case study highlights the evolution, research, and policy processes and outcomes of a community based participatory research (CBPR) partnership that has had multilevel impacts on health policy con...
