Abstract Agarwood essential oil (AEO) has gained attention from healthcare industries due to its numerous pharmacological properties. However, a comprehensive understanding of the chemical composition and cytotoxic property is lacking. The objective this study was investigate profile as well concentration range AEO derived Aquilaria sinensis wood. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) employed identify components. Results showed that sesquiterpenes sesquiterpenoids constitute 95.85%...

The study developed sandwich cookies by substituting all-purpose flour with 0% (SC0), 10% (SC10), 20% (SC20), 30% (SC30), and 40% (SC40) of jackfruit rags (JRF). Sensory evaluation was conducted to analyze the consumer preference toward all formulations. proximate composition, physicochemical, antioxidant properties most preferred formulation were evaluated. SC20 acceptable appearance, color, aroma, texture attributes. had a significant (p < 0.05) darker color than SC0 due incorporation...

Summary Sugarcane bagasse (SB) is one of the most abundant food wastes. In this research, SB was incorporated into development noodles at three different ratios, i.e. 5%, 10% and 15%. Total dietary fibre significantly increased from 3.39% (control noodles; – without SB) to 13.85% with 15% incorporation. All (SBNs) were qualified be labelled as ‘High in fibre’. The SBN had highest content lowest dialyzable glucose, but organoleptic properties lowest. Due that, 5% deemed suitable ratio for...

The practice of eating insects, also known as entomophagy, is not common in Malaysia. Nevertheless, insects are pronounced for their high protein content, dietary fibre, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals like calcium iron. Next, snacks, especially potato chips available the market usually nutrient poor. Thus, present study aimed to develop baked using cricket powder an alternative source other enhance nutritional values. Cricket was incorporated into with different formulations:...

Jackfruit rags (JR) are an abundant source of pectin, which offers promising health benefits. They can be valorized into a functional ingredient to reduce food waste and supply the local market demand. This research aimed optimize characterize pectin extracted from JR using ultrasound-assisted method with hydrochloric acid. A central composite design (CCD) was employed solid-to-solvent ratio (1:25 1:35) extraction time (15 45 mins) obtain high yield pectin. The optimal conditions for were...
