This study was undertaken to find the optimum conditions for the extraction of hydrocolloids from seaweed of species Gracilarza changii. Recent trend of seaweed industry in producing hydrocolloids component shows a decline because of the high cost of production. Hence, an optimum parameter is now crucial to maximize the yield and the quality, at th

There are at least four large-scale, global, environmental parameters that, spatially and temporally, set limits on the distribution of horseshoe crabs. Of these, continental geomorphology and temperature regimes are two major constraints on the wide spread distribution of horseshoe crabs. Basically, the continental shelves define the areas availab

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 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
