Seasonal variation in the nutrient profile of Arthrospira fusiformis biomass harvested from an Ethiopian soda lake, Lake Chitu (2017)
Journal Article
Assaye, H., Belay, A., Desse, G., & Gray, D. (in press). Seasonal variation in the nutrient profile of Arthrospira fusiformis biomass harvested from an Ethiopian soda lake, Lake Chitu. Journal of Applied Phycology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10811-017-1359-0

The extent of seasonal variation in the nutrient profile of Arthrospira biomass harvested from Lake Chitu was investigated to evaluate the variability of the quality of the product over a period of a year. Protein content varied from 47.9 to 55.7% fo... Read More about Seasonal variation in the nutrient profile of Arthrospira fusiformis biomass harvested from an Ethiopian soda lake, Lake Chitu.

Enhancing the recovery of oilseed rape seed oil bodies (oleosomes) using bicarbonate-based soaking and grinding media (2017)
Journal Article
De Chirico, S., Di Bari, V., Foster, T., & Gray, D. A. (2018). Enhancing the recovery of oilseed rape seed oil bodies (oleosomes) using bicarbonate-based soaking and grinding media. Food Chemistry, 241, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2017.09.008

An aqueous process for the recovery of oil bodies from rapeseed using sodium bicarbonate-based soaking and grinding media (pH 9.5) was investigated. The effect of the ratio between seed and mass of media during grinding and molarity of the medium use...

Component analysis of nutritionally rich chloroplasts: recovery from conventional and unconventional green plant species (2017)
Journal Article
Gedi, M. A., Briars, R., Yuseli, F., Zainol, N., Darwish, R., Salter, A. M., & Gray, D. A. (2017). Component analysis of nutritionally rich chloroplasts: recovery from conventional and unconventional green plant species. Journal of Food Science and Technology, 54(9), 2746-2757. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13197-017-2711-8

A study of the literature indicates that chloroplasts synthesise a range of molecules, many of which have nutritional value for humans, but as yet no one has established the nutritional credentials of chloroplasts recovered from plant cells. Chloropl... Read More about Component analysis of nutritionally rich chloroplasts: recovery from conventional and unconventional green plant species.

Influence of pecan nut pretreatment on the physical quality of oil bodies (2017)
Journal Article
Zhang, P., Di Bari, V., Briars, R., Taher, Z. M., Yuan, J., Liu, G., & Gray, D. A. (2017). Influence of pecan nut pretreatment on the physical quality of oil bodies. Journal of Food Quality, 2017(38641), Article 3864126. https://doi.org/10.1155/2017/3864126

A supply of pure, intact oil bodies is essential for carrying out morphological and biochemical studies of these plant organelles, and exploring their application. Preparation requires a carefully controlled breakage of plant cells, followed by separ... Read More about Influence of pecan nut pretreatment on the physical quality of oil bodies.
