Abstract. Widiyanti R, Nugroho HA, Megarani DV, Widiasih DA, Pakpahan S. 2023. Multiplex PCR detection of mackerel-based food adulteration with pleco and chicken in selected areas around Ciliwung River, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 1538-1543. Detecting fish product is crucial to ensure safety since meat was already reported carry several heavy metals that might harm human health. Pleco invasive...

analysis, Babu P. N. Mookerjee, the Municipal Magistrate, inflicted a heavy fine on the firm in question. The Health Officer of Calcutta (Dr. Neild Cook) is also Analyst to the Corporation, but it appears that the ghi was entirely analysed and reported on by Babu J. N. Dutt, the Assistant Analyst, who alleged that he had found 6 per cent of vegetable oil in it, and further that he had detected ...

In food safety and regulation, there is a need for an automated system to be able to make predictions on which adulterants (unauthorized substances in food) are likely to appear in which food products. For example, we would like to know that it is plausible for Sudan I, an illegal red dye, to adulter "strawberry ice cream", but not "bread". In this work, we show a novel application of deep neur...

Honey is an ancient valuable food and in most cases has enchanted its consumers by its medic characteristics. It consists mainly of sugars but also contains some amounts of acids, nitrogenous compounds, phenolic contents, HMF, minerals and water. Honey composition according to the studied literature is mainly dependant on its floral source and differs in various honeys. Honey adulteration is a ...

Waxy sorghum has greater economic value than wild in relation to their use food processing and the brewing industry. Thus, authentication of waxy species is an important issue. Herein, a rapid sensitive Authentication Amplification Refractory Mutation System-PCR (aARMS-PCR) method was employed identify via its ability resolve single-nucleotide genes. As proof concept, we chose containing wxc mu...

The present study deals with an analysis of the roots of Rauvolfia serpentine (L) Benth. Ex Kurz under ultraviolet radiation and also under daylight. The coarsely powdered roots were treated with various chemical reagents and the characteristic fluorescence patterns emitted were recorded and are reported in this paper. This study was undertaken as a pharmacognostic standardization to ascertain ...

Automating fatty acid derivatization and preparation of calibration standards on an Agilent 7696A Sample Prep WorkBench for fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) analysis can provide comparable precision, better recoveries, and more accurate calibration compared to manual procedures. Hands-on time, reagent usage, and exposure to hazardous chemicals are all greatly reduced. This automated approach has...

by drying 5 or 10 cc. in a platinum dish to a constant weight, and. then extracting the fat from this portion by means of dry ether; by this means the fat was never completely extracted, and hence a low minimum for fat and a higher for solids were at first fixed. About ten years later, with the introduction of improved processes of analysis, such as the Adams, Schmidt and others, the figures we...
