Fungi, particularly medicinal mushrooms, have been extensively harvested for their natural compounds for alternative medicine because they provide benefits with little to no adverse effects. FIPs, or fungal immunomodulatory proteins, are one that have been extensively studied for their immunomodulatory activities to promote lymphocyte production and subsequently enhance cytokine production. FIP…
Milk-based drink is defined as a drink made using fresh milk, reconstituted milk, or recombined milk, which can be added with other food ingredients and sterilized or pasteurized. At PT. Garudafood, 40-50% of process water were incorporated into chocolate milk-based drink products, thus the quality of process water must be tightly regulated. This research was conducted to identify the impact of…
PT Kalbe Milko Indonesia combines pasteurization and retort sterilization on producing their sterilized milk product. The pasteurization process takes place at 85 ± 3°C for 30 seconds and after packing, the product is sterilized in retort machines at a temperature between 121 and 121.9 °C. Nevertheless, milk's quality is not just influenced by production processes but is also affected by oth…
