The intake of snacks such as crisps, biscuits, cakes, and sweet pastries is increasing among university students. These snacks usually contain high calories but low in nutrients. The objective of this research was to developed acceptable and healthy crackers made of rice straw mushroom that is mixed with herbs and spices in a variety of formulation

The snacks are popular among consumers and available in various flavours. However, these snacks are usually high in calories, salt and sugar thus may affect health if consumed frequently. Plant-based food mushroom are low in calories thus it can be a good alternative to create a healthy snack. Awareness about consumer’s demand and acceptability a

The influence of workpiece surface topography on friction, lubrication and final surface quality in metal forming operations is well known. This is especially the case when liquid lubricants are applied in situations where increased workpiece surface roughness facilitates the lubricant entrapment, pressurization and possible escape by Micro-Plasto-

Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs) have significant properties such as low density, high specific resistance, excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, low-cost, low abrasive nature, and reactive surface for easy modification. Water contamination from various sources has become a serious problem in recent years. Hence, this study will serve the
