Optical side-scattering by particulate matter in the Hahei Marine Reserve
(AUT University, 2011)Suspended particulate matter concentration (PM) is an important parameter in coastal ecosystem studies. For example, PM is used to determine when sediments and associated contaminants are resuspended and transported. Because ... -
Optimising the Spray Drying of Avocado Wastewater and Use of the Powder As a Food Preservative for Preventing Lipid Peroxidation
(MDPI AG, 2020)Avocado wastewater (AWW) is the largest by-product of cold pressed avocado oil. The aim of this study was to valorise AWW by converting it into spray dried powder for use as a lipid peroxidation inhibiting food preservative. ... -
Periodicity of benthic photosynthesis in Lake Fryxell, Antarctica
(AUT University, 2011)Filamentous forms of cyanobacteria, the earliest known oxygenic photosynthesising organisms, are the primary structuring agents in modern-day benthic microbial mat consortia. Under conditions of low sedimentation rates and ... -
Phenolic and Anthocyanin Compounds and Antioxidant Activity of Tamarillo (Solanum betaceum Cav.)
(MDPI AG, 2020)This study examined phenolics and anthocyanins present in Amber, Laird’s Large and Mulligan cultivars of tamarillo that were cultivated in -Whangarei, Northland of New Zealand. Samples were further separated by their tissue ... -
Photosynthetic performance of benthic microbial mats in Lake Hoare, Antarctica
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), 2006)We measured in situ photosynthesis of benthic microbial mats at various depths in Lake Hoare, a permanently ice-covered lake of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, using oxygen (02) microelectrodes. We further investigated ... -
Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fermented sheepmeat sausage
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014)The aim of the study was to compare the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fermented, cured sausages made from equivalent muscle groups of beef, pork, and sheepmeat. The last has no commercial examples and ... -
Practical Fertilization Procedure and Embryonic Development of the New Zealand Geoduck Clam (Panopea Zelandica)
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom 2016, 2016)Copyright © Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom 2016Cultivation of the geoduck Panopea zelandica (Quoy & Gaimard, 1835) requires knowledge on embryonic development to produce spat in hatcheries. This study ... -
Preclinical Development of MGO Manuka Honey Microemulsion for Blepharitis Management
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2017)Objective To evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial effects of cyclodextrin-complexed and uncomplexed Manuka honey on bacteria commonly associated with blepharitis, and in vivo rabbit eye tolerability of a cyclodextrin-complexed ... -
Predicting the distribution of acid volatile sulfide in marine sediment from colour analysis of sediment-profile images
(AUT University, 2011)Organic enrichment of coastal sediments is a major concern worldwide. It is caused by an increase in the deposition of organic matter via terrestrial runoff (Gray et al. 2002) and aquaculture (Holmer & Kristensen 1994), ... -
Predicting the in situ distribution of AVS from sediment profile images
(AUT University, 2011)The reduced sulfur content of coastal sediment is a proxy for the organic carbon deposition rate. As such, it is an important parameter in environmental monitoring. Some reduced sulfur occurs in the form of pore water ... -
Processing and Extraction Methods of Medicinal Cannabis: A Narrative Review
(BioMed Central, 2021)INTRODUCTION: As the cannabis industry transitions from a black market to a legal market, product development, and methods of extraction have become a focal point. To date, more than thousands of chemical constituents have ... -

Pulsed boundary layer flow versus tide-driven deep pore-water flow--What drives sulfide vents in oceanic mangrove peat habitats?
(National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 2009) -
Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) Processing of Chilled and Frozen-thawed Lamb Meat Cuts: Relationships Between Sensory Characteristics and Chemical Composition of Meat
(MDPI AG, 2021)The effect of PEF processing and chilled storage on the volatile composition and sensory properties of chilled and frozen lamb cuts was investigated in this study. Results showed that PEF-treated chilled and frozen lamb ... -
Putative Involvement of Adrenergic Receptors in Regulation of Mussel (Perna Canaliculus) Larval Settlement
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015)Abstract: Settlement responses were investigated for mussel (Perna canaliculus) larvae after exposure to catecholamines and their precursor metabolites. Settlement and mortality assays were conducted in Petri plates with ... -
Quality and Consumer Acceptability of In-bag Dry- and Wet Aged Lamb
(DigICoMST, 2018)INTRODUCTION Dry-aged meat is a niche product favoured by meat purveyors for mostly local upscale restaurants and gourmet markets. The distinct flavour of dry-aged meat commands a higher price in the marketplace, yet very ... -
Quantification of Carotenoids, α-tocopherol, and Ascorbic Acid in Amber, Mulligan, and Laird’s Large Cultivars of New Zealand Tamarillos (Solanum betaceum Cav.)
(MDPI AG, 2020)Amber (yellow), Laird’s Large (red) and Mulligan (purple–red) cultivars of New Zealand tamarillo fruit were separated into pulp (endo- and mesocarp) and peel (exocarp), and analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass ... -
Rapid biofunctionalization of magnetic beads with function-spacer-lipid constructs
(eBook - Sepmag.eu, 2014)KODE™ Technology is based on novel water-dispersible self-assembling molecules, called a functionspacer- lipids or KODE™ constructs (Figure 1) that are able to coat virtually any biological or non-biological surface with ... -
