Effect of processing on pinhão seeds and extrudabilty of pinhão flour
No full textPinhão is the seed of Brazilian Pine (Araucaria angustifolia), a conifer that grows in the south of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. Pinhão seeds are very good source of carbohydrates but there is no wide scale consumption of these seeds hence a large quantity is lost at the end of each harvest. Due to high humidity, seeds can easily be contaminated by fungi during stockpiling, thus hindering its commercialization. The seeds are traditionally used as source of flour for baking or cooked in hot water, peeled, and consumed. The objectives of my research were: (1) To study the migration of polyphenols from hull to seed during atmospheric and pressure cooking of pinhão seeds and; (2) To test the extrudability of pinhão flour fortified with soy flour to make snack food. The hull of pinhão has ample amount of phenolics but hull forms the non-edible part of the whole nut. It has been proved by previous researchers that phenolics diffuse from the hull to the seed during atmospheric cooking. In this study we investigated the migration of phenolics during atmospheric and pressure cooking as a function of time. More migration of phenolics from hull to seed occured in a shorter time period during pressure cooking as compared to atmospheric cooking which proved that pressure cooking is an efficient cooking process as regards to polyphenolic content in cooked seeds. We also studied the single screw extrusion of pinhão flour fortified with soy flour using Response Surface Methodology. Box-Behnken (BBD) design was used to obtain the extrusion conditions to make extrudates. The process parameters during the extrusion were moisture content of the blended flour (17-24% w.b.), barrel temperature (120- 180°C), and ratio of pinhão flour to soy flour (1-3). The physical characteristics studied were sectional expansion index, bulk density, breaking strength, hue, chroma, water absorption index, and water solubility index. The total phenolic content of the blended flour and extrudates was also compared; it was found that there was substantial loss in polyphenols after extrusion cooking. For the expansion of the extrudates, maximum puffing of the samples was obtained at 17% moisture content of the blended flour, 150°C barrel temperature, and 3:1 ratio of pinhão flour to soy flour. Sensory testing of the selected extrudate samples was also conducted and results showed that sample extruded at low moisture content and high pinhão to soy flour ratio was perceived and liked by subjects the most.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Nidhi Singl
Moorings
No full textMoorings follows sailors from the Gulf of Kachchh in India as they voyage across the Indian Ocean on mechanized wooden sailing vessels known as vahans, or dhows. These voyages produce capital through moorings that are spatial, moral, material, and conceptual. With a view from the dhow, the book examines the social worlds of Muslim seafarers who have been rendered invisible even as they maneuver multiple regulatory regimes and the exigencies of life, navigating colonialism, neoliberalism, the rise of Hindutva, insurgency, climate change, and border regimes across the ocean. Based on historical and ethnographic research aboard ships, at ports, and in religious shrines and homes, Moorings shows how capitalism derives value from historically sedimented practices grounded in caste, gender, and transregional community-based forms of regulation.
“This is a brilliant book. The seafarers aboard dhows who navigate multiple sovereignties at sea and complex border regimes on land are rendered lovingly here, in three dimensions and with all the requisite appreciation of complexity and respect for their trajectories.” — LALEH KHALILI, author of The Corporeal Life of Seafaring
“A stunning multisited ethnography of the ships and smugglers that underpin the global economy. Nidhi Mahajan’s incisive scholarship shows us how borders, shrines, and meals are the moorings that enable mobilities across the Indian Ocean.” — JOHAN MATHEW, author of Margins of the Market
“Draws from rich, intimate, and challenging fieldwork and emphasizes how seafarers from western India contest their marginality by turning to the sea—in ways that follow in the footsteps of generations before them—seeking out possibilities amid perilous circumstances.” — JATIN DUA, author of Captured at Se
Expanding the structural diversity of the RiPP class of natural products
No full textRibosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are a diverse and rapidly expanding class of natural products. Despite starting out as linear chains of amino acids, RiPP natural products acquire structural diversity ranging from small molecules like microcin C7 to 48-mer polytheonamides with varying post-translational modifications installed by biosynthetic enzymes. These conformational restrictions allow these natural products to exhibit a wide range of therapeutic activities like antifungal, antibacterial, allelopathic, and antiviral. Despite the structural and functional disparities, they all share a common feature: the presence of amino acid sequence in the precursor peptide called the 'leader peptide' that helps guide the biosynthetic enzymes towards the remaining precursor peptide termed the 'core peptide' to act on specific residues and install different PTMs. This leader-peptide guided biosynthetic route provides tremendous opportunity to bioengineer libraries of analogues of RiPPs. Exploiting this feature, in Chapter 2, I report my investigations on a strategy wherein by swapping the leader peptides from unrelated RiPP biosynthetic pathways and modifying the core peptide sequences, different biosynthetic enzymes can perform their characteristic chemistries on the core peptide residues.
In Chapter 3, I report the design and usage of chimeric leader peptides that can be bound by multiple enzymes from unrelated RiPP pathways to create new-to-nature hybrid RiPPs. This strategy involves the combination of a cyclodehydratase with modification enzymes from different lanthipeptide RiPP classes. These hybrids provide insight into enzyme promiscuity and compatibility, and the biosynthetic order of events, and establish a general platform for the engineering additional hybrid RiPPs.
In Chapter 4, I develop two different strategies for non-proteinogenic amino acid incorporation in the class I lantibiotic nisin and the class II lantibiotic lacticin 481 using amber stop codon technology.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Nidhi Kakkar, accepted the attached license on 2018-02-20 at 13:14.The student, Nidhi Kakkar, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-02-20 at 13:25.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-02-23 at 10:53.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12043 on 2018-08-31 at 17:17:08Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:33:48Z (GMT).

propanamide [GBTPA = L] has been synthesized and utilized to prepare new
Fe(III) complexes with exogenous anionic ligands, Cl¯and NO3¯. The
complexes have been characterized by IR, UV-visible, cyclic voltammetry, EPR
and mass spectrometry. Low temperature EPR spectra are characteristic of a
rhombic complex undergoing an axial distortion. Redox chemistry of catechin and
iron(III) chloride complex in dimethyl sulfoxide, shows that catechin binds
with Fe(III) complex leading to a considerable loss of antioxidant activity
