DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Nikhil Hiremath\, Department of Food Scienc
 e and Agricultural Chemistry.\nUnderstanding the adhesion of biological su
 bstances such as macromolecules and microorganisms (known as biofilms) to 
 abiotic surfaces has deleterious effects in the food industry environment 
 leading to food safety problems. Among the biomolecules proteins are known
  to precondition the surface very rapidly\, closely followed by the adsorp
 tion or adhesion of other biomolecules and microorganisms. In this study t
 he two abiotic model surfaces mica and polystyrene were conditioned with p
 roteins (BSA\, CAS)\, microbial growth media (TSB) and milk (WML\, SML) un
 der static and flow processing conditions. The extent of protein adsorbed 
 to surfaces was quantified using the micro BCA protein assay. The food con
 tact surfaces (mica and polystyrene)\, both conditioned and not conditione
 d\, were characterized using contact angle measurements to obtain various 
 surface thermodynamic properties (surface energy and its components\, and 
 absolute hydrophobicity).\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community is welcome t
 o attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishm
 ents of our PhD candidates.\n
