Starch is an edible polymer derived from plant basis.It commonly used in food industry as it offers good stabilising effect.Moreover, starch can be easily modified either physically or chemically making a very versatile source.For instance, its capability to and coming low cost source one of the most important ingredient preparation.There are currently varieties commercially available Malaysian market.For example, potato, corn, wheat tapioca presently on top list.However, there also numbers...
This current research aimed to investigate the effect of acid type and concentration on yield, anhydrouronic content (AUA), esterification degree (DE) durian rind pectin by using three types mineral acids (hydrochloric, sulphuric, nitric acids) organic (citric, tartaric, acetic at five different (0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 M). The yield (0.93–10.23%), AUA (41.64–80.58%), DE (0.43–25.69%) were pronouncedly affected during extraction. results strong-weak protic nature acids. decreased...
Twelve Lactobacillus strains isolated from chicken intestine were used to investigate acid and bile tolerance in vitro. Ten out of the 12 slightly affected by 0.3% salts, showing a delay growth (d) 0.6-37.2 min compared with control cultures. Two not salts. Of strains, seven could be arbitrarily classified as resistant (d < 15 min) five tolerant (15 d or = 40 min). caecum showed better than those ileum. Generally, survival ileal was very low at pH 1.0 2.0, moderate 3.0. In contrast, caecal...
Gout is a common disease affected most of the people due to elevation uric acid in blood. Flavonoid and phenolic compounds are reported exert anti-gout activity medicinal plants. Hence, this study aimed at optimizing extraction conditions flavonoid as well (xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity) vitro Euphorbia hirta using response surface methodology (RSM). The plant part used was whole excluding roots. effects three independent variables (extraction time, X1; temperature, X2;...
Single-screw extrusion of a fibrous-structured meat analog from soy proteins added with low-grade oyster mushroom was successful. Satisfactory extrudates were obtained at barrel temperature 140 °C, screw speed range 100-160 rpm, and addition 0%, 7.5%, 15% via factorial experiments. equipped slit die successfully produced expanded mushroom-soy protein extrudates. However, the increase in content significantly decreased (
The current study investigates the influence of acid-heating extraction conditions on durian rind pectin yield and properties. A central composite rotatable design was employed to effect temperature (75 – 95 °C), duration (30 270 minutes), solid-to-liquid ratio (S:L) (1:20 1:60 g/mL) at 0.001M H2SO4 yield, esterification degree (DE), purity (AUA). Based results, AUA were significantly affected by temperature, time, S:L. Among them, most significant variable positively affecting purity. DE...
Rhizoids of anaerobic fungi colonizing fragments guinea grass and rice straw in the rumen cattle swamp buffalo produced appressorium-like structures for penetration plant cell walls. These were generally lobed vesicles with fine pegs, which penetrated through wall then expanded continued their growth adjacent cells, forming normal rhizoids would turn produce more 'appressoria' next cell. Their size form varied they developed. Small, flat cells small lumina while bigger longer developed...
The demand for higher quality and freshness in fruit juices with absence of additives preservatives has encouraged the use ultrasound technology juice processing. Thermosonication is a novel good alternative technique to replace conventional heat treatment process. It potential enhancing safety juices. more energy-efficient than thermal technology. also efficient, safe reliable application alone by itself achieve limit food-borne pathogens destruction. This review covers effects...
Abstract Background To prevent the interruption of carbon cycle by disposal waste to landfills, organic kitchen requires proper treatment such as composting reduce its uncontrolled degradation on sites and subsequent greenhouse gases, odour emissions nutrient losses. This study investigated effects bulking agent, newspaper onion peels, load sizes 2 6 kg, or use starter culture kitchen-waste consisting nitrogen-riched substrates, vegetable scraps fish processing in an in-vessel system. The...
Pectin's rheological properties are closely related to its functionality for food and pharmaceutical applications. In this study, the flow behavior viscoelastic of durian rind pectin (DP) (esterification degree = 18.99%, molecular weight 42.1 kDa) were evaluated at different concentrations (1.0–3.0% w/v), pH (2.0–6.0), temperatures (flow behavior: 10–75 °C, properties: 5–90 °C). DP solutions had pseudoplastic behavior. The viscosities improved rising decreasing pH, whereas their dropped...
Previous studies indicated that the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 vaccines may contribute to idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL). This nationwide study sought evaluate correlation between infection vaccination with ISSNHL. case–control analysed samples from adults aged 18 years older who visited otorhinolaryngology department in 32 government hospitals Malaysia for pure tone audiometry(PTA) January 25, 2020 June 30, 2022. Cases comprised patients diagnosed ISSNHL, while...
Ethanol is acknowledged as a good solvent for polyphenol extraction and safe human consumption.Therefore, it usually used in the process of plant sample.However ethanol should be evaporated to obtain pure extract samples.Nevertheless, temperature involved during evaporation would affect antioxidant activity extract.Thus, purpose this study was find out effect towards Ficus carica leaves extract.Dried powder F. were subjected three sets processing method which involve different temperatures:...
