Infrared spectroscopy (IR) has been known as an analytical method suitable for authenticity studies. In particular, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy can be used for qualitative and quantitative purposes. The main advantages of FTIR are high sensitivity, high energy throughput and excellent speed of spectral acquisition. Combined with

Oil/water emulsion solvent evaporation method was employed to fabricate PCL microcarriers. The surface of these microcarriers were modified with porogen, UV/O3 system and gelatin. The porous network channels were generated inside the microcarrier by introducing camphene. The average pore size of 11.74±8.32 μm was obtained with the concentration o

In this study, the microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted via a non-acidic method from the oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) cellulose. The extraction was conducted through Ammonium Persulfate (APS) oxidation treatment, which was followed by the ball milling process. The effects of varied temperature levels from APS oxidation treatment (60,

Aim: Microalgae is one of the bioremediation agents in wastewater treatment due to its ability to degrade nutrients and organic compounds. Several studies reported that co-cultivation of microalgae and bacteria, i.e. Microalgae Growth Promoting Bacteria (MGPB) could improve the nutrients removal process. This MGPB helps to degrade complex nutrient

Objective: India as the second largest Muslim populated country has no practice with Takaful. This triggers the researchers to identify why Takaful has not been introduced in India. The main objective of this study is to scrutinize the perception and acceptability of Islamic finance experts to introducing Takaful in India. Analysis: The total 18 in

Much has been said about planning for sustainable urban future. However, it is difficult to find practical and workable solution to ensure the sustainability of urban development. Malaysia for example, is one of the most urbanized countries in East Asia, however; Kuala Lumpur urban area is one of the largest in the region as measured by area but th

Polycaprolactone (PCL) has many advantages for use in biomedical engineering field. In the present work PCL microcarriers of 150-200 µm were fabricated using oil-in-water (o/w) emulsification coupled with solvent evaporation method. The surface charge of PCL microcarrier was then been improved by using ultraviolet/ozone treatment to introduce oxyg

In this study, the microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted via a non-acidic method from the oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) cellulose. The extraction was conducted through Ammonium Persulfate (APS) oxidation treatment, which was followed by the ball milling process.

Malnutrition risk and nutritional inadequacy are high among the elderly population. The development of nutrition resource kit that provides nutritional guidance could be beneficial in improving the dietary intake of this population. There is limited study on the availability of nutrition resource kit that can be used to overcome and prevent malnutr
