Five varieties of sweet potato tuber in Malaysia, have been studied for their total carotenoid contents and βeta- carotene content through spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography HPLC analysis. This study was conducted to compare carotenoids content in local orange, yellow, purple and white sweet potato tuber pulp. UV-spectrop

Carotenoids are bioactive antioxidant pigments with pharmaceutical potential. Carotenoids such as α-carotene and β-carotene react as provitamin A in human body, while lutein and zeaxanthin are two major components of the macular pigment of the retina. Due to its high carotenoids and pro-vitamin A content, sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is believe

European colonization in Asia and Africa in the past had fully destroyed the economy and culture of those continents in various ways. It is evidenced that the economic resources of many colonial countries of Asia, Africa as well as Latin America were extracted unscrupulously for the benefit of the Europeans who had simultaneously oppressed the peop

Rumah bujang berselasar (single terraced house berselasar) and rumah tiang dua belas (twelve-pillared house) are the earliest and commonest house forms built among the old traditional houses of Kelantan and Terengganu in the northeastern part of Peninsular Malaysia. These long-roofed houses exhibit the distinctive form and the principal building co

This study aimed to determine species identities of processed sea cucumbers from selected Malaysian markets i.e. Kuantan, Pahang (East Coast region of Peninsular Malaysia) and Langkawi Island, Kedah (the Northern region) in the forms of dried (seven specimens) and frozen (12 specimens) products. Most of the products were not labelled with species d

Academic success greatly depends on the ability of students to capitalise the information available at their disposal through improved reading skills. However, the emergence of digital texts has transformed the nature of academic reading as online reading is reported to be different from traditional printed reading. As such, this paper which is bas

This paper presents key features and challenges ahead for the development and knowledge retrieval of Quran ontology. Recent studies have made significant advances towards the development of Quran ontology. In the recent past, there have been numerous studies conducted on the application of semantic technologies on Quran. Contribution of this paper

Kinetic of modeling data is necessary for the industrial use of adsorption. Under changed conditions, kinetic offers evidence for operational conditions for designing and optimizing effective situations for removing the pollutant. The pseudo second-order equation was used in this study in order to investigate the mechanism of adsorption of mercury
