Indonesia is one of the main sources sea cucumber in world with high total production for domestic consumption and export market. Sea has potential as a source traditional foods, medicine, functional food due to nutritional component cucumbers. The purpose this research was determine different characteristics obtained by chemical (ethanol extractions 20%, 25%, 30%) physical treatment (boiling s...

The valorization of low-grade industrial residues into valuable materials has been a way to reduce the impact industry on planetary boundaries. Silicon-rich wastes have used for zeolite synthesis while impurities originating from vital role in physicochemical properties and catalytic performance waste-derived zeolites. Here, effect steaming zeolites were investigated. Steamed ZSM-5 maintained t...

We investigated the effect of various cooking methods (boiling, steaming, stir-frying, and roasting) and three cooking times (5, 10, and 15 min) on the antioxidant properties of red pepper. Raw and cooked peppers were measured for proximate composition, ascorbic acid (AsA) content, total carotenoid content (TCC), total polyphenol content (TP), and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-a...

Interfacial compatibility plays a key role in the performances of natural fiber-reinforced composites. The measures commonly used to improve the interfacial compatibility focus more on the addition of various compatibilizers than on the structural modification of the natural fiber. In this paper, an attempt was made to enlarge the interfacial interaction areas of the recycled polyethylene (rPE)...

A three factor three level central composite design was adopted to determine interactive effects of meat level (55-65%), steaming time (12-18 minutes) and drying time (7-9 hrs) on pH, moisture, protein content, fat content and other quality characteristics (Hardness, adhesiveness, total colour change and overall acceptability) of extruded chicken noodles. Moisture, protein, fat level and total ...

Gadung (Dioscorea hispida Dennst.) has been considered as one of staple foods in Indonesia. However, its high cyanides content has limited its utilisation for commercial food production. This work is aimed to investigate the removal of cyanides content from gadung tuber chips through two consecutive treatments, i.e. leaching and steaming and to propose mathematics model for the leaching process...

Pd was loaded on ultra stable Y (USY) zeolites prepared by steaming NH(4)-Y zeolite under different conditions. Heck reactions were carried out over the prepared Pd/USY. We found that H₂ bubbling was effective in improving not only the catalytic activity of Pd/USY, but also that of other supported Pd catalysts and Pd(OAc)₂. Moreover, the catalytic activity of Pd/USY could be optimized by choosi...

BACKGROUND Foods in the diet that can aid in the prevention of diseases are of major interest. Onions are key ingredients in many cuisines around the world and moreover, onion demand has trended higher over the past three decades. An important pharmacological aspect of onion is the ability to inhibit platelet aggregation. Raw onions inhibit platelet aggregation; however, when onions are boiled ...
