Redox-based Meat Discoloration Monitoring Tool

BACKGROUND Meat is a vital food source, rich in protein, minerals, and vitamins, that form a critical component of the human diet. However, meat quality and freshness are largely determined by its color, which consumers worldwide use as a primary indicator when making purchasing or meat use decisions. The red color of fresh meat primarily originates...

Novel fungal glycosyl hydrolases, their production and uses thereof

BACKGROUND In the biofuels industry, enzymes are used to convert agricultural residues, such as sorghum stover, into simple sugars for fuel and chemical production. Conventional biological conversion relies on pretreating the biomass, which is expensive and requires the use of harsh chemicals. Conversely, fungi-derived enzymes (cellulases, hemicellulases,...

Protein engineering and protein optimization based on ancestral sequence reconstruction using evolutionary molecular meandering and fitness well dragging

BACKGROUND An Ancestral Sequence Reconstruction (ASR) highlights the evolutionary pathway of proteins and how some protein homologs have differed in both structural and functional composition throughout evolution. These differing compositions have resulted in proteins with variable abilities, which may have previously been overlooked due to the lack...

Nitrate removal from water by means of carbon adsorbents derived from spent coffee grounds

BACKGROUND High levels of nitrate ions in drinking water can pose health risks to humans and livestock. These nitrates can infiltrate drinking water by means of agricultural activities and wastewater. Fertilizers used in agriculture can be carried away by rainwater into nearby lakes and rivers. Wastewater from failed septic systems can also find its...

System to monitor and control supplement intake

BACKGROUND The United States is home to around 87.2 million cattle, with over 700,000 cattle farms. Many ranchers utilize liquid feed for their cattle, which is commercially available and widely used, but it is not possible to monitor feed consumption for each individual cow. Traditionally, cattle stand at a covered tank and lick a rotating wheel....

Seed Orienting Device for a Row Crop Planter

BACKGROUND Past research has indicated that the leaf orientation in maize can increase grain yield. Leaves that are symmetrically oriented across the row increase the light interception, optimize plant populations for the environment, and increase maize grain yields. Many spatial seed placements have been evaluated for leaf orientation. It was found...

Biodegradable nitrite transfer film

BACKGROUND Beef color is a critical factor influencing consumer purchasing decisions, particularly in the retail market, where consumers prefer a bright cherry red color. Dark-cutting beef, which results from pre-slaughter stress leading to a higher postmortem pH, deviates from this ideal color, presenting a significant challenge for the beef industry....

Regulating biomass yield in sorghum and methods of use

BACKGROUND The biofuel industry is currently encountering significant challenges in addressing the increasing energy needs of the future. Sorghum, a remarkably versatile crop utilized for food, forage, fiber, and biofuels, distinguishes itself with its high biomass yield and minimal input requirements. As the leading producer and exporter of sorghum,...

Apparatus and Methods to Assess Sub-Surface Tissue Properties

BACKGROUND Knowing the optical properties of a material below the layer able to be visualized via machine without contact, invasion, or destruction of the material is highly useful for quality control or monitoring purposes. Unfortunately, current technology cannot provide the ability to non-destructively identify and assess properties beneath the...
