Distinguished Nutritionist Award
446
NICHOLAS APPERT AWARD
Nicholas Appert Award he assembled and directed are: development of the first USDA-approved method of pasteurizing egg white; identification of the cause of darkening of dried whole eggs during storage; identification of conalbumin as the main defense mechanism retarding the invasion of shell eggs by bacteria; demonstration that turkey is less stable than chicken because it contains less tocopherol; characterization of the factors affecting removal of feathers from poultry; and establishment of a process for converting waste feathers into feed, now the main disposal outlet for feathers. He isolated and crystallized papain, the second plant proteinase so isolated. His method for analyzing enzyme kinetic data, published in 1934, is still widely used." "The developments of Dr. Lineweaver and his associates have been shared with industry and the scientific community, and he has served on many industrial and professional organizations, including I.F.T. as President in 1970-71."
Distinguished Nutritionist Award Dr. Elbert J. Day, Poultry Science Department, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, received the Distinguished Nutritionist Award of the Distillers Feed Research Council on April 5, during the 28th Distillers Feed Conference. The presentation was made by Dr. J. N. Van Lanen, President of the Council, for outstanding performance in nutrition research, feed utilization and service to the feed industry for the benefit of mankind. Dr. Day was born March 11, 1925, and received a B.A. degree at Alabama Polytechnic Institute in 1952, majoring in agricultural education, an M.S. degree in 1953, specializing in poultry nutrition, and a Ph.D. degree in 1956, specializing in animal-poultry nutrition. From 1948 to 1951, he was on the staff of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Cullman, as a Vocational Agriculture Teacher, and from 1954 to 1956 as Assistant Animal Nutritionist. In 1956 he joined
the staff of the Poultry Science Department, Mississippi State University as Assistant Professor, becoming Associate Professor in 1958 and Professor in 1961. His research involves factors affecting the xanthophyll utilization in poultry; dietary requirement for phosphorus, sodium, amino acids and energy; biological activity of vitamin K and mineral sources; and the effect of particle size on nutrient utilization. In 1972 he received the Gamma Sigma Delta Award of Merit for Research. He is author or co-author of some 100 technical and semi-technical papers. Dr. Day is a member of the Poultry Science Association, the Association of Southern Agricultural Workers (having served as Secretary, Vice President and President), American Society of Animal Science, Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, the American Institute of Nutrition, and Sigma Xi.

The recipient of the 1973 Nicholas Appert Award of the Institute of Food Technology was Dr. Hans Lineweaver, Chief of the Poultry Laboratory, Western Regional Research Laboratory, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Berkeley, California. The purpose of the award is to honor a person for pre-eminence in and contributions to the field of food technology. The awardee receives a bronze medal furnished by the Chicago Section of the I.F.T. (the originator of the Award) and a $1,000 honorarium donated by the I.F.T. The citation read: "Dr. Lineweaver is an internationally recognized authority on food technology, especially the processing, preservation, and safety of poultry and eggs. He was trained as a physical chemist, has been recognized as an enzyme chemist and biochemist, and has served most of his career as a food technologist doing research on poultry and poultry products.'' "Among the many significant accomplishments made under his leadership of the research workers
