Chitin ranks next to cellulose as the most important bio-polysaccharide which can primarily be extracted from crustacean shells. However, emergence of new areas application chitin and its derivatives are on increase there is growing demand for sources. In this study, therefore, an attempt was made extract house cricket (Brachytrupes portentosus) by a chemical method. The physicochemical properties chitosan crickets were compared with commercial shrimps, in terms proximate analysis...

Abstract Microalgae biomass is used in aquaculture as feed, growth enhancers and immunostimulants. Chlorella vulgaris an important species with a good biomolecular composition. Commercially, it one of the most commonly microalga aquaculture. Several studies confirmed its ability to improve nutrition, immunity, aquatic bioremediation, amelioration stress, disease resistance fish inhibits bacterial quorum sensing when appropriately. Despite claims benefits, C. reported have unfavourable...

The potential application of Ficus deltoidea and vitexin for the management symptomatologies associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) has gained much attention. However, less firm evidence comes from data to augment our understanding role F. in protecting pancreatic β-cells. aim this study was assess histological oxidative stress changes pancreas streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats following extract treatment.F. administrated orally six-weeks STZ-induced over 8 weeks period. glucose...

Summary Meat has historically been an essential source of animal‐based protein. However, due to population growth, health problems linked the consumption red meat, and concerns over environmental challenges, there is increased need for alternative protein sources. Various plant‐based meat alternatives have recently explored, with ongoing advancements in industrial‐scale production. Mycoprotein proposed as a sustainable its distinctive functional food properties fibrous structure. some...

Introduction: Motor vehicle accident is a major problem in Malaysia. The statistics shows an increasing numberof accidents (year 1997 to 2007). Fatigue and drowsiness among the drivers has been identified as one of themain reasons behind fatal crashes injuries especially driving long monotonous motorway. This studyaims determine driver’s performance physiological change EEG association with externalfactors such condition environmental background factors prolonged simulation study. Result:The...

Ability of two strains Aspergillus terreus (ATCC 74135 and ATCC 20542) for production lovastatin in solid state fermentation (SSF) using rice straw (RS) oil palm frond (OPF) was investigated. Results showed that RS is a better substrate SSF. Maximum has been obtained A. as without additional nitrogen source (157.07 mg/kg dry matter (DM)). Although no benefit effect on enhancing the substrate, it improved OPF with maximum 70.17 63.76 DM 20542 74135, respectively (soybean meal source)....

The present study aimed to provide a comparative analysis of the effects penetrative stunning, non-penetrative stunning and post-slaughter on biochemical parameters electroencephalogram (EEG) associated with stress in heifers steers. Ten animals were assigned each following four treatment groups: (1) subjected conventional halal slaughter (a clean incision through structures ventral neck at approximate level vertebrae C2–C3 – trachea, oesophagus, carotid arteries jugular veins) post-cut...

The edible seaweed Sargassum polycystum (SP) is traditionally used against several human diseases. This investigation evaluated the effects of two dietary doses SP ethanolic and aqueous extracts on pancreatic, hepatic, renal morphology type 2 diabetic rats (T2DM). T2DM was induced by feeding high calorie diet followed a low dose streptozotocin. Changes in rat organs treated groups with different were compared normal rats, control metformin rats. After 22 days treatment, pathological lesions...

A study was conducted to compare the effect of halal slaughter without stunning and gas stun killing followed by bleeding on residual blood content storage stability rabbit meat. Eighty male New Zealand white rabbits were divided into two groups 40 animals each subjected either (HS) or stun-kill (GK). The volume lost during exsanguination measured. Residual further quantified determination haemoglobin in Longissimus lumborum (LL) muscle. Storage meat evaluated microbiological analysis...

Examined was the effect of post mortem refrigerated storage on microbial spoilage, lipid-protein oxidation and physicochemical traits goat meat. Seven Boer bucks were slaughtered, eviscerated aged for 24 h. The Longissimus lumborum (LL) Semitendinosus (ST) muscles excised subjected to 13 days storage. pH, lipid protein oxidation, tenderness, color drip loss determined in LL while microbiological analysis performed ST. Bacterial counts generally increased with increasing aging time limit...

Despite the fact that Ficus deltoidea and vitexin played important roles in controlling hyperglycemia, an effective mitigation strategy dealing with cognitive deficit observed diabetes, little is known about its neuroprotective effects. The study aimed to determine changes behavioral, gyrification patterns brain oxidative stress markers streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats following F. treatments. Diabetic were treated orally metformin, methanolic extract of leaves for eight weeks....

The influence of pre-slaughter electrical stunning techniques and slaughter without on bleeding efficiency shelf life chevon during a 14 d postmortem aging were assessed. Thirty two Boer crossbred bucks randomly assigned to four slaughtering viz (SWS), low frequency head-only (LFHO; 1 A for 3 s at 50 Hz), head-to-back (LFHB; Hz) high (HFHB; 850 Hz). SWS, LFHO HFHB goats had higher (p<0.05) blood loss lower residual hemoglobin in muscle compared LFHB. LFHB meat TBARS value than other...

This review details the different approaches to replacing animal fat used in meat products with non-animal ingredients based on their physical forms during processing. Six replace are categorized as 1) powder, 2) paste, 3) plant oils, 4) combinations of dietary fiber oils or protein/skin, 5) pre-treated replacer, and 6) oleogel emulsion gels. The ingredients, characteristics, processes, mechanisms, advantages, disadvantages all replacers discussed extensively. gel approach is found be most...
