- This Project Grant award of $297,000.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will support research at Tuskegee University to investigate the potential health benefits of blueberry polyphenols in preventing metabolic syndrome-induced diabetes. The project aims to process whole blueberries into freeze-dried powders, analyze their polyphenolic content and anti-oxidant/hypoglycemic properties, and then formulate them into feed diets for a...
- This $300,000 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) project grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310), aims to measure the effects of plant growth regulator (PGR) treatments on the volatile chemistry, sugar, and anthocyanin content of strawberries and blueberries. The project has three key objectives: 1) evaluate how three PGR treatments impact flavor volatiles, sugars, and anthocyanins; 2) elucidate the underlying mechanisms by measuring the...
