Based three EXQ model, study seeks to identify how these create an emotional attachment customers towards brand. The used quantitative approach which 244 respondents were sampled surveyed through structured questionnaire. Outcome peace mind, moment truth explain...

Abstract Cosmos caudatus ( C. ) is a medicinal plant that high in bioactive compounds such as phenolics. In this study, an ultrasound extraction method was used to optimise the of from leaves. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design (BBD) applied obtain optimum parameters which solid–liquid ratio (10–30 g/mL), particle size (180–850 µm) and time (20–30 min) for maximal quercitrin total phenolic content (TPC) yields. Analysis antimicrobial activity performed against two...

Summary This work was undertaken to assess the effects of high‐pressure processing on brown pigment formation, antibacterial activity and hydroxymethylfurfural ( HMF ) content in M anuka honey. The honey subjected different pressures (200–600 MP a) at ambient temperatures (25–33 °C) with moderate (53–74 for holding times (10–30 min). formation high‐pressure‐treated sample showed a significant increase (0.16–0.17, P < 0.05), whereas maximum percentage inhibition S taphylococcus epidermidis...

Fresh goat milk spoilt in a short time due to bacterial spoilage. Conventional heat pasteurization can cause nutrient degradation. Hence, high-pressure processing (HPP) is chosen as an alternative. The safety and quality of processed by HPP (200–600 MPa) thermal treatment (60–80°C) at 5–15 min were studied. Thirty-day storage study 25°C 4°C was carried out well. Viscosity total soluble solid stably retained after during storage. refrigerated (4°C) (600 MPa, 10 min, RT) pasteurized (70°C, 15...

The quality of Kelulut honey is heavily affected by conventional thermal processing due to the existence thermolabile compounds. Hence, high-pressure (HPP) was employed as an alternative method minimize any deterioration during processing. HPP carried out at two different pressures (200 and 600 MPa) with holding times (5 10 minutes) respectively. Thermal also (60 90 °C for 30 comparison. After treatment, changes in antioxidant activity, diastase activity colour were determined. Increment 3 %...

HIGHLIGHTS Bacillus megaterium strain was first reported contributed in polystyrene biodegradation. Viability of utilizing confirmed by TTC reduction test. FESEM showed localized degradation on PS-film surrounding the bacterial cells biofilm. FTIR changes chemical structure PS-film.

To elucidate the permanent effect of high pressure processing (HPP) on quality Manuka honey, properties such as physicochemical (moisture content, pH, total soluble solids and solids), nutritional (total phenolic antioxidant activity brown pigment formation), flow behavior viscosity HPP-treated honey were tested. The process condition HPP (600 MPa/ambient temperature/10 min) was selected treated samples stored at 25C in a dark, dry place for 1 year. moisture pH solid changed but...

The effect of high-pressure processing (HPP) on prebiotic properties stingless bee honey has not been described thoroughly. Therefore, this study was undertaken to elucidate the HPP toward honey, tested upon L. acidophilus and brevis. Stingless subjected at 600 MPa/10 min used as carbohydrates substituted in modified MRS broth inoculated with both probiotic strains. Following 24 hr incubation, growth curve, specific rate, mean doubling time (Td) were obtained. Good retention characteristics...

Polystyrene (PS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) are commodity plastics widely used in many industries. The increase of PS the environment causes ecological threats. It has been observed that beetle larvae feed on plastic packages, this drawn researcher’s attention towards complex system within larvae’s gut where relationships between fungi, bacteria, insect host have established. objective study is to isolate identify PS-degrading microbe from super worms. as a sole carbon source positive...

Abstract Cosmos caudatus (C. caudatus) is one of the common medicinal plants and among valuable that are high in bioactive compounds such as phenolics. In this study, an ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method was used to optimise from C. leaves using response surface methodology (RSM) employing a Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD). The efficiency UAE under optimal conditions compared with Soxhlet method. Also, anti-microbial analysis against two human pathogenic bacteria;...

The chemically complex and diverse nature of the plant metabolome require several platform technologies to profile entire range metabolites. An ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) technique was used identify a set small-molecule metabolites found in heat treated whole palm oil extract. investigation carried out on effect treatment yield, quality for Palm fruits were collected, cleaned sterilized 0, 20, 40 60 min. pulps...

Kelulut honey (KH) has a broad spectrum of antibacterial effects that conceivably deteriorate upon heat treatment. However, further synergistic combinations with plant extract might be value in improving the bactericidal capacity. Therefore, this study reports on combination KH Phyllanthus niruri as both are independently known to bactericidal. P.niruri was incorporated into 2 types KH; untreated and thermal-treated (50, 60 70 °C for 5, 10, 15 30 min); tested against 4 bacterial strains...

Abstract Tanjung Laboh is located in one out of three Important Bird Areas (IBAs) Johor called South West Coast which very crucial foraging ground for resident and migratory shorebirds. However, the airfield development plan area have been an issue as it might disturbed ecology Therefore, necessary to analyse food resources present behaviour shorebirds order determine effect disturbance towards shorebirds’ behaviour. Thus, a study was conducted month (July August 2018) mudflat identified...
