SPOILAGE INDICATORS FOR DETERMINING TUNA AND MAHI-MAHI QUALITY AND SAFETY By JING BAI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 © 2018 Jing Bai To my family, faculty advisors, and my friends who teach me how to love this wonderful world ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my committee chair, Dr. Paul J. Sarnoski for his patient advice and encouragement in the past three years. He puts his trust in students and can see the true potential of his students. He cares so much about students’ projects and provides insightful advice about the research. I also sincerely appreciate my committee members, Dr. Renée M. Goodrich-Schneider, Dr. Shirley M. Baker, Dr. Naim Montazeri, and Dr. George L. Baker for spending their precious time to provide valuable guidance and aid through this process. I would like to thank all the faculty members for imparting knowledge to me, all the staff members for helping me prepare paperwork, and order laboratory supplies in the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department at UF. I would especially like to thank the Yeoman Fellowship Fund and the Seafood Industry Research Fund (SIRF) for supporting my research. I would like to express special thanks to my great family, including my husband, my parents, my parents in-law and my little son, for their support and constant encouragement. I express my gratitude to Yangyang Song, my husband, for supporting every decision I make and helping me solve any problems I meet. I am extremely grateful to my parents for teaching me to develop integrity and telling me how to face the challenge in the life. I am not afraid of difficulties in the life because I understand my family always stands behind me and silently support me. I would like to thank my colleagues La’Oshiaa Reed, Stephen Koltun, Robert Nusbaum, Yaozhou Zhu and Ying Fan in our lab for providing aid in my projects and making my stay in UF much more pleasurable. I also would like to express my gratitude to all my friends in my life for their warm love and endless encouragement. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
