Fumonisin (a mycotoxin that causes leukoencaphalomalacia in horses, cancer in laboratory animals and esophageal cancer in humans) contamination of corn has guided the evolution of various methods for fumonisin measurement in grains. The existing fumonisin detection methods are labor intensive, time consuming and expensive and are not suitable for field-testing. We propose the development of a fluo ...

The proposed research will focus on the cultivation of Osha (Ligusticum porteri), a popular native medicinal herb, for the purpose of developing a new commercial crop for Wyoming growers. Presently the only source for this plant are wild populations found at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana and Nevada. Due to the high demand for ...

Contamination of poultry and poultry products by Salmonella and other pathogens is a serious worldwide problem, causing an excess of $1.4 million in lost productivity, medical expenses and poultry production costs. To control the risks associated with consumption of pathogens on poultry products, federal processing plant inspection protocols (also known as the 'three strikes' rule) have been enact ...

PHASE II TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES The Phase I study demonstrated that ammonia gas can be venerated at high current efficiencies by the reduction of nitrogen gas to nitride ion (N) at a nickel cathode and that these ions can be oxidized, in the presence of atomic hydrogen, to form ammonia. The results also demonstrated that this method for ammonia production has the potential to reduce production costs ...

The food industry, especially the meat and fish industry, is very concerned about the freshness of their products. Quality control at every step in the processing/distribution chain is essential to guarantee a tasty, wholesome, and most of all, safe food supply to the public. In general, available technologies for the determination of seafood freshness are time consuming and expensive, require com ...

This Phase I 'proof-of-concept' project concerns the development of a thermophilic bioreactor approach for on-farm disposal of unprocessed poultry carcass waste. Recently approved groundwater and air quality restrictions have limited or eliminated the further use of most conventional carcass disposal methods, including incineration and pit burial. Composting is currently the only available means o ...
