Antioxidants are important inhibitory materials against the oxidative deterioration of food. The present study focused on the effect of various phytochemical antioxidant systems [oleoresin rosemary (OR), oleoresin sage (OS) and citric acid (CA)] on the changes in physico-chemical characteristics of refined-bleached-deodorized (RBD) palm olein. The

Fish oils extracted from 6 species of marine fin fish caught from Pulau Tuba area, near Langkawi Island, a famous tourism destination in Malaysia, were evaluated for their oxidative stability during storage at both -27 and 4℃. The five fish species were “kerisi” (threadfin breams, Scomberomorus commersoni), “kerapu” (groupers, Cynoglossus

A study was conducted to quantitate the concentrations of heavy metals, such as Hg, Pb and Cd in eight species of marine fin fish caught off the coast of Langkawi Island in Malaysia, as well as in its waters. The same fish were also used to determine the content of nutritional minerals, such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca), and manganese (M

Biosurfactants are surface active compounds produced by variety of microorganisms. It is a promising alternative to chemically synthesized surfactant due to it biodegradability, low toxicity, and environmental acceptability. However, commercialization of this product is yet to be realized due to high production cost, expensive raw material, and low

Antioxidant activity of carotenoids may shift into prooxidant activity, depending on several factors, such as oxygen tension, carotenoid concentration, and interactions with other antioxidants. This study was conducted to prepare DMEM culture medium containing high concentrations of lutein and β-carotene for evaluation of the anti- and pro-oxidant

Antioxidant activity of carotenoids may shift into prooxidant activity, depending on several factors, such as oxygen tension, carotenoid concentration, and interactions with other antioxidants. This study was conducted to prepare DMEM culture medium containing high concentrations of lutein and 13-carotene for evaluation ofthe anti- and pro-oxidant

Two-steps optimization strategy based on statistical experimental design was carried out to enhance bioprotein production by liquid state bioconversion utilizing pineapple skins as substrate. A two-level Plackett-Burman design was employed first where 11 variables were studied for their influence on bioprotein production. Pineapple Skins Soluble (P

Analisa pangan merupakan salah satu aspek yang selalu menjadi perhatian utama dalam industri pangan. Sudah sejak lama, analisa pangan selalu dikaitkan dengan isu keamanan pangan tersebut kualitasnya. Dengan demikian analisa pangan selalu menjadi isu sentral di dalam kontrol untuk setiap produk pangan.

The main objectives of this paper are to investigate the significant factors of the implementation of Industrialized Building System (IBS), and the relationship between quality, cost and productivity. The preliminary idea to this research come from the national aspiration of Vision 2020 that is to transform and industrialized the Malaysian construc

The objective of the study is threefold. Firstly, the study explores the learning approaches adopted by students in completing their Business Finance. Secondly, it examines the impact that learning approaches has on the student’s academic performance. Finally, the study considers gender differences in the learning approaches adopted by students a
