Examining the Role of Human Perceptions During Cetacean Stranding Response in New Zealand
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Cetacean strandings often elicit significant media attention and public engagement. However, how human perceptions of such events may influence decision-making during strandings response is poorly understood. To address ... -
Interfacial Colloidal Assembly Guided by Optical Tweezers and Tuned Via Surface Charge
(Elsevier, 2022)Hypothesis: The size, shape and dynamics of assemblies of colloidal particles optically-trapped at an air–water interface can be tuned by controlling the optical potential, particle concentration, surface charge density ... -
Simultaneous Extraction, Derivatisation and Analysis of Varietal Thiols and Their Non-volatile Precursors From Beer
(Elsevier, 2022)Varietal thiols are important contributors to the aroma profile of a wide range of beverages including beer. A methodology for the simultaneous extraction and subsequent analysis of the varietal thiols 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol ... -
Comparison of Microwave and Conventional Heating on Physicochemical Properties and Phenolic Profiles of Purple Sweetpotato and Wheat Flours
(Elsevier BV, 2022)The hydrothermal treatment assisted with microwaves on physicochemical properties and phenolic profiles of purple sweetpotato flour and wheat flour was studied and compared with those of conventional heat treatment. Both ... -
Distinct Microbiota Composition and Fermentation Products Indicate Functional Compartmentalization in the Hindgut of a Marine Herbivorous Fish
(John Wiley & Sons, 2022)Many marine herbivorous fishes harbour diverse microbial communities in the hindgut that can play important roles in host health and nutrition. Kyphosus sydneyanus is a temperate marine herbivorous fish that feeds predominantly ... -
Mapping the Green-Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) Microbiome: A Multi-Tissue Analysis of Bacterial and Fungal Diversity
(Springer, 2022)Poor health and mortality events of the commercially important and endemic New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) pose a threat to its industry. Despite the known importance of microbiomes to animal health and ... -
Bioactive Components and Anticancer Activities of Spray-Dried New Zealand Tamarillo Powder
(MDPI AG, 2022)Tamarillo fruit contains many phytochemicals that have beneficial therapeutic and nutritional properties. Spray-drying is widely used to preserve fruit puree in powder form. However, to obtain high-quality fruit powder, ... -
Editorial: Development of Functional Foods From Marine Sources

Fish Nearshore Habitat-Use Patterns As Ecological Indicators of Nursery Quality
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Anthropogenic factors have been identified as major stressors of nearshore environments such as estuaries, sea grass meadows and mangroves. We hypothesize that aquatic organisms functionally dependent on these habitats as ... -
A Solution Scan of Societal Options to Reduce Transmission and Spread of Respiratory Viruses: SARS-CoV-2 as a Case Study
(2021)Societal biosecurity, measures built into everyday society to minimize risks from pests and diseases, is an important aspect of managing epidemics and pandemics. We aimed to identify societal options for reducing the ... -
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 ... -
Changes in Transfusion Science Over the Past 25 Years

Use of Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry Fingerprinting to Determine the Metabolic Changes to Dry-aged Lean Beef Due to Different Ageing Regimes
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS) was used to determine the impact of in-bag ageing regimes (stepwise-ageing at different air velocities and straight-dry-ageing) and trimming on the metabolic profile ... -
Metabolic Fingerprinting of In-bag Dry- and Wet-aged Lamb With Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectroscopy
(Elsevier BV, 2021)The effect of in-bag dry- and wet-ageing on metabolite profiles of lamb legs was determined using Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS). Using orthogonal projection to latent structures-discriminant analysis ... -
COVID-19 Antibody Screening With SARS-CoV-2 Red Cell Kodecytes Using Routine Serologic Diagnostic Platforms
(Wiley, 2021)BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic is having a major global impact, and the resultant response in the development of new diagnostics is unprecedented. The detection of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 has a role in managing ... -
Temperate Performance and Metabolic Adaptations Following Endurance Training Performed Under Environmental Heat Stress
(Wiley, 2021)Endurance athletes are frequently exposed to environmental heat stress during training. We investigated whether exposure to 33°C during training would improve endurance performance in temperate conditions and stimulate ... -
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 ... -
