Abstract Dayak onion is an herbal plant from Kalimantan Island, Indonesia, with functional properties commonly used for various diseases such as cholesterol, diabetes, stroke, etc. This study aims to determine the quality of Da yak onions before and after making flour so that it can be a guide when processed, mixed, or fortified into other food ingredients. Processing begins proximate testing f...

Spirulina has been used for many years as additive since it has high protein content and nutritional value. Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are photoautotrophic microorganisms which are widely distributed in nature. Spirulina is the best known genus of Cyanobacteria because of its unique nutritional properties (Caire et al., 2000). It has been proved that consumption of Spirulina is beneficial...

While most organizational and social decision making is done in a group or collective mode. there are few guides or evaluative criteria for judging when a high-quality outcome has been reached. Most past studies of group decision making have been conducted in laboratories using student subjects and factual problems with correct answers as means for judging outcome quality. Such proxies are roug...

Quail production is steadily gaining importance in developing countries like Uganda, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas. However, inappropriate feeding practices such as using the same feed classes across different growth stagesor beyond the recommended growth stageshave been reported among quail farmers. This study evaluated the nutritional properties of quail diets used in urban and p...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the supplementary effect of higher concentrations of various disaccharides on processing yield, major physicochemical properties, and sensory attributes of Chinese-style pork jerky (CSPJ). METHODS CSPJ samples were prepared by marinating sliced ham (4 mm) with three dissaccharides, including sucrose, lactose, and maltose, at 0%, 15%, 18%, 21%, and 24%. Subsequen...

background and objectives: kefiran (kef) is a water-soluble polysaccharide that can form transparent film however, it is brittle. therefore, in order to improve the mechanical properties of kefiran film, a mixture with other polymers can be offered. the expansion of mixed systems can propose kefiran and polyvinyl alcohol (pvoh) as a new composite film. materials and methods: solutions of 20 gra...
