Citrus juice, vitamin C give staying power to green tea antioxidantsA study found that citrus juices enable more of green tea's unique antioxidants to remain after simulated digestion, making the pairing even healthier than previously thought.
Hygienic Design of Food Processing Equipment
This two day workshop will include a day of introductions to 3A and EHEDG organizations with lectures on hygienic design principles, HACCP, and sanitation guidelines. The second day will include demonstrations on design features, cleanability tests, and EHEDG-certification tests and procedures. Speakers will include experts from the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG) Test Methods Subgroup, industry, and Purdue University.
2007 World Food Prize Laureate Revolutionized Post-Harvest Technology
Dr. Philip E. Nelson of Purdue University was named winner of the $250,000 World Food Prize for his innovative breakthrough technologies which have revolutionized the food industry, particularly in the area of large-scale storage and transportation of fresh fruit and vegetables using bulk aseptic food processing.
“Dr. Nelson’s pioneering work, which began with tomatoes and later included a variety of seasonal crops, has made it possible to produce ultra-large scale quantities of high quality food,” Ambassador Quinn said. “This food can then be stored for long periods of time and transported to all corners of the world without losing nutritional value or taste.”
Bacteria ferry nanoparticles into cells for early diagnosis, treatment
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers at Purdue University have shown that common bacteria can deliver a valuable cargo of "smart nanoparticles" into a cell to precisely position sensors, drugs or DNA for the early diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.
The multidisciplinary research has been supported with funding from the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. Research has been conducted by engineers and scientists at the Birck Nanotechnology Center, the Bindley Bioscience Center and the Oncological Sciences Center, all at Purdue's Discovery Park, and the School of Veterinary Medicine and Department of Food Science.
