Nano and micro imaging were used to evaluate effects of pretreatment solution on gelatin. Four types of pretreatment solution were used during fish gelatin extraction in this study. They are acetic acid (A), acetic acid-NaCl (SA), acetic acid-NaOH (BA) and acetic acid-NaOH-NaCl (SBA). Different patterns were observed for different gelatins pretreat

Gelatin is a high molecular weight polypeptide obtained by partial hydrolysis of II Willer insoluble fibrous prolein collagen. Collagen is thc primary protein component of mammalian and fish skins, bones and conneclive tissues. Tilt properties of gelatin including viscosity, gel slrength. gelling and melting temperafUre will affect lhe quality of g

Two major red seawveed species available locally in Malaysia (in the coastal area of Sabah) wvhich are Kappaphycu5 alvarezii and Ellehewna dentieulatum where tested to the effect of alkali treatments on the yield and gel strength (quality) of the carrageenans which were collected from the different coastal areas of Sabah. They were analyzed using d

Gelatin replacement has existed for many years for the vegetarian, halal and kosher markets, but has gained increased interest in the last decade, particularly within Europe with the emergence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy or as known as mad cow disease. Since most commercial gelatins are obtained from either pigskin or cow hide, there has be

This research ","'ork was conducted to explore lIll: potential of tuberous plall1s as sources ofgelatin replacers. The tuber of yam and sweet potato commonly consumed and grown in Malaysia were used as raw material. The starch compounds were extracted by using different process condition rhat will optimize the extraction of starch. The

This study has bren successfully conducted to develop a method for rapid detection of ethanol (EtOH) content in beverages using IIUM-developed ~JMabk electronic nosc (E-Nose). E-Nose is a device that mimic human's olfactory system and is widely used in food analysis. However. E· Noses used in food industry are big and not portable, while the o

Production of high quality gelatin from Labeo rohilO (rohu) skill alld Megalaspis cordyla (torpedo scad) skill and scale as an ahemmive of porcine and bovine gelatin has beell conducted through modificatioll process using transglutaminase. Screening showed that Labeo rohila (rohu) skiJl has a beller quality of gelatiJl with the maximum gel strength

A study has been conducted to extract and to characterizecarotenoid astaxanthin from tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). one of most commercial marine sources in Malaysia. Astaxanthin is a red pigment belonging to the family of the xanthophylls, the oxygenated derivatives of carotenoids and is widely used as a pigmentation sources in aquaculture and po

This book constitutes a study of Southeast Asia, discussing the Malay world's long historical connection with the Muslim people including the Rumi-Turks, Hadramīs and the Ottomans. These connections reflect religious, political and legal co-operations. It also discusses the Ottomans’ policy of pan-Islamism and the role of Sultan Abdulhamid I

Holothuria (Mertensiothuria) leucospilota (Brandt 1835), white threads fish or locally known as bat puntil is currently considered as the most abundant sea cucumber species in Malaysia. This study aimed to generate the genetic profile of H. leucospilota from Malaysia and then to determine the phylogenetic relationship between H. leucospilota and ot
