Recent Doctoral Citations
- Dr. Guopeng Zhang: "Dr. Zhang studied clostridial necrotic enteritis, which is an intestinal disease of broiler chickens. He developed a process using microwave vacuum dehydration technology to protect the natural antimicrobial lysozyme from heat damage. This development will contribute to the improvement of heat resistance of biomaterials and also to animal health." (November 2011)
- Dr. Xiumin Chen: "Dr. Chen separated and characterized Maillard reaction products with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities from a glucose-lysine model. This study showed that Maillard reaction products could be used to protect against intestinal inflammation." (May 2011)
- Dr. Anusha Samaranayaka: "Using various chemical and cell-based methods, Dr. Samaranayaka studied the potential of fish protein-derived peptides to act as antioxidative agents and their structure activity relationships. Findings from this work will aid development of functional foods that target reducing oxidative stress and various free radical-induced diseases in the human body." (May 2010)
- Dr. Erin Nicole Friesen: "Dr. Friesen examined sustainable alternative feed ingredients for the aquaculture industry. Atlantic salmon and sablefish were fed these new diets and she showed the alternative ingredients to be safe and nutritious food products because they were low in persistent organic pollutants and a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids." (November 2008)
