Fortifying low-fat milk with nutrients essential for overall health, mainly gut health and immunity, is crucial as these can supply the substances required to keep the body's immune system functioning properly. Examples include adding fiber and vitamin premixes (a combination of A, E, and C). However, to meet consumer demand for variety and a distinctive flavor experience, flavored milk was …
"Flavivirus is a genus of positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses that are mostly transmitted through mosquito or tick vectors and are known to be emerging and re-emerging viruses. Some of the significant species that have been reported to cause an outbreak globally include DENV, YFV, WNV, ZIKV and JEV. While some vaccines have been successful in preventing infections caused by certain f…
Shampoo is a type of hair care product that is used to clean the scalp and remove the dirt. Not only for humans, shampoo is also used for animals, especially dogs. However, different from human shampoo, dog shampoo tends to be milder due to the different pH and sensitivity of dog’s skin compared to human skin. It is important to formulate a shampoo that has good properties for dog characteris…
This project aims to evaluate the cleaning capacities of a non-irritant, sulfate free organic dog shampoo. Surfactants play a vital role in shaping product characteristics. Coco glucoside and cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) were used as the surfactants of this experiment for its non irritant properties. Additionally, CAPB's amphoteric nature proves valuable in dispersing solid ingredients efficie…
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) remains a significant global health threat, contributing to chronic infections and hepatic complications, including hepatic steatosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study investigates the intricate relationship between HCV and fatty acid metabolism, focusing on lipid droplet accumulation and the impact of HCV on fatty acid synthesis genes. Utilizing an HCV-infe…
Plant-based meat popularity has been trending in these past couple of years. This trend can be aributed to a growing awareness of plant-based diets' environmental impact and potenal health benefits. The trend also affects the development of plant-based meat products in various countries. This study aimed to develop plant-based products in …
"he objective was to compare the FFA values of lab-made VCO to commercial PKO and commercial VCO, compare the quality of the lab-made VCO with commercial, and investigate the potential effect of substitution of PKO with VCO. Chocolate spreads that are commonly available in the market usually use palm oil as the liquid fraction. Therefore, for this semester, the focus of this research is on …
A marine bacteria Streptomyces BLH 3-7 from Bitung Sea Sulawesi were isolated and observed to produce agarase enzymes in basic ISP2 media. To improve the agarase production, different carbon, nitrogen, pH, and minerals were compared to observe their effects on the agarase production through one factor at a time (OFAT) method. By selecting the best factor one at a time, the optimized media…
Enzymatic production using papain enzymes is one promising technique implemented to produce VCO with desirable yield, yet an examination on the effect of the implementation on oil quality is limited. VCO quality is determined by chemical properties and must comply with standards regulated by APCC. This study investigated the effect of papain-assisted production using different incubation temper…
India has the second-highest type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to the South Asian phenotype, poor lipid profile, and unbalanced dietary pattern. Evidence has been discovered that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) genes are linked to differences in lipid levels in response to dietary intake. Hence, this revie…
Quinoa is a potential alternative to accommodate increasing demand of protein isolate as they have high nutritional value, however, quinoa has relatively low protein content. This problem could be combated through enzymatic pre-treatment. This study aims to observe the difference and similarity of composition of quinoa protein isolate that are and are not pre-treated with Viscozyme L. White qui…
Potato chip is one of most favorite snacks in the world and perceived to contain lots of sodium that contribute to savory taste. Each country has different standard of nutrients that can be incorporated into potato chip. The labelling is mandatory to provide the relevant information regarding the potato chip. Front-of-pack labelling, specifically healthier choice logo, was introduced to assist …
Ilmu merupakan salah satu cabang pengetahuan yang berkembang dengan sangat pesat. Dewasa ini, yang sering disebut sebagai kurun waktu dan teknologi, hampir seluruh aspek kehidupan dipengaruhi oleh keberadaannya. Ilmu merupakan salah satu cabang pengetahuan yang digumuli dalam kegiatan pendidikan. Tetapi apakah sebenarnya ilmu (sciene)? Apakah ciri yang membedakannya dengan pengetahuan (knowled…
For the first time, international scientists describe the advances in genetics and nutrition by combining methods of molecular biology with those of functional genetics, also known as systems biology. This book provides the latest data on genetic variation and dietary response, nutrients and gene expression, and the contribution molecular biology has given to systems biology. It also includes a…
