Published: January 2025

Milk powder is an important dairy product worldwide. It is recognized for its ability to preserve nutrients and offers a long shelf life. It provides convenience in both storage and transportation. It plays a crucial role in multiple sectors of the food industry, such as the production of ice cream, yogurt, baked goods, and confections. This research evaluated the quality and safety of commercially available milk powders by conducting compositional and physicochemical analyses. The parameters examined included protein content, fat levels, solids-not-fat, total solids, pH, acidity, solubility index, bulk volume, bulk density, and flowability. A microbial analysis was performed, focusing on the total plate count (TPC). The analysis of the data indicated notable variations over time, including significantly reductions in pH, fat, protein, lactose, and solubility index, as well as significantly increases in acidity, moisture content, and wettability. These findings suggested that milk powder produced domestically had a reduced shelf life in comparison to international brands. The results highlighted the importance of implementing quality control measures to improve the longevity and market viability of milk powder products.

Authors: T. Deepa  , Ch. D. V Subba Rao
Published: January 2025

Classification of brain tumor plays a vital role in medical imaging for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. Deep learning approaches have gained significant traction in this industry because of their ability to extract relevant features from medical images. The research suggests employing an ensemble classifier with a weighted voting mechanism to categorize glial cell brain malignancies such as Astrocytoma, Glioblastoma multiforme, Oligodendroglioma, and Ependymoma. The proposed ensemble technique employs three main classifiers: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Deep Convolutional Long Short Term Memory (C-LSTM), and Deep Convolutional Neural Network + Conditional Random Fields (DCNN+CRF). Deep learning algorithms require a huge amount of input data to avoid overfitting.  The Adaptive Progressive Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (APCGANs) are used to produce realistic artificial images to efficiently train the proposed methodology. Overall, the proposed ensemble method with weighted voting strategy consistently outperforms the other tested algorithms (CNN, C-LSTM, and DCNN+CRF). Ensemble method attained an accuracy of 99.4 %, recall - 99.1%, precision- 98.0%, and F1-score of 99.2%. Ensemble method consistently demonstrates superior performance in accurately classifying brain tumors, making it a promising algorithm for brain tumor analysis tasks.

Published: January 2025

Guinea fowl meat is an important source of protein and other nutrients for humans. Their contamination by bacteria is a threat to public health and a one health approach of tackling this is warranted. This study investigated the contamination rate of guinea fowl meats and it related samples by Escherichia coli using one health approach. It also investigated the antibiotic resistance of the Escherichia coli from the guinea fowl sources. A total of 200 samples were randomly collected from guinea fowl wet markets in Ghana and the contamination of guinea fowl sources by Escherichia coli was done using the procedures in the Bacteriological Analytical Manual of USA-FDA. The disc diffusion method was used for antibiotic resistance test following confirmation by polymerase chain reaction. The contamination rate of Escherichia coli was the highest for processing knife (96.0%) and least for water from main source (28.0%). Faeces, processing floor, processor's hands, meat, water used for washing meat and processing table were all contaminated with Escherichia coli. The partial fragment analysis of uidA gene by PCR yielded a band of ~147 bp for confirmation of Escherichia coli. The Escherichia coli isolates exhibited highest resistance to ceftriaxone (60.5%), but susceptibility to azithromycin (94.7%). Intermediate resistance was highest for gentamicin (34.2%). The MAR index ranged from 0.0 (resistant to 0 antibiotic) to 0.8 (resistant to 7 antibiotics) with 24 different resistance profiles. This study confirms that some of the guinea fowl samples collected from wet market were contaminated by Escherichia coli that were resistant to some antibiotics. Appropriate handling of guinea fowl meats and it related samples considering one health from processing and sale points are recommended to prevent the spread of foodborne infections.

Authors: Ngah Choy Mun , Nevara Gita Addelia , Karim Roselina
Published: January 2025

Kenaf seed (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is one of the potential and excellent food ingredients of kenaf processing by-products. This study aims to develop functional cookies by incorporating 0% (control), 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% of kenaf seed meal flour (KSMF). The physicochemical quality of kenaf seed meal cookies (KSMC) revealed that KSMC had higher ash, protein and fat content but lower moisture and carbohydrate content than the control. In terms of texture and colour, the hardness and colour values of the KSMC increased and decreased with increasing levels of KSMF, respectively. Sensory scores on acceptability using hedonic test depicted that KSMF addition had no effect on the overall acceptability score of all the cookies.  The finding of this study suggested that 30% of KSMF is suitable for use in the development of functional cookies with improved nutritional quality while maintaining the sensory acceptability of the cookies.

Published: January 2025

Tempe is a traditional Indonesian food typically made from soybeans fermented by the mold Rhizopus spp. Indonesia heavily relies on imported soybeans, and substituting soybeans with cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) could reduce this dependency while promoting local raw materials. This study aimed to develop an optimal tempe formula combining cowpea and soybean, ensuring quality parameters comparable to conventional soybean tempe (the gold standard). Formula optimization was conducted using response surface methodology, facilitated by Design Expert 12 software. The recommended optimal formula consists of 30% cowpea and 70% soybean, achieving a desirability value of 0.87. This formulation resulted in tempe with L* (brightness), a* (red-green), b* (yellow-blue), hardness, water activity, and pH values that were not significantly different from those of soybean tempe. The proximate composition of the optimally formulated tempe complies with the quality standards of SNI 3144:2015, with moisture, ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrate contents of 60.28, 0.64, 10.28, 17.67, and 11.67% respectively. Sensory evaluation using a 1-7 hedonic scale (ranging from "very dislike" to "very like") on fresh and fried tempe from the optimal combination indicates that attributes such as color, aroma, texture, and overall acceptability fall within the range of "somewhat liked" to "like" by consumers. The favorable reception of the soybean-cowpea tempe suggests its potential for reducing soybean imports by substituting 30% of the soybean with cowpea.

Published: January 2025

Aren is a versatile crop with significant economic potential in tropical regions, particularly Southeast Asia. While young fruits are commonly processed into kolang-kaling, the industrial potential of both young and matured fruits, especially about their rheological and structural properties for edible packaging, still needs to be explored. This study investigates palm fruits' rheological and structural properties at different maturity stages and evaluates their potential for industrial applications, specifically in developing edible films. Rheometer testing revealed that young fruits exhibit pseudoplastic flow behavior (n < 1), whereas matured fruits display Newtonian flow behavior (n = 1). The consistency index (K) increased as concentration. Dynamic rheological measurement showed that young fruits experienced a decrease in LVR and matured fruits showed an increase at higher concentration. The storage modulus (G') of matured fruits was higher than that of young fruits, indicating better mechanical stability in the former Both young and matured fruit had a loss factor < 1 and G' greater than G", indicating elastic behavior predominance. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that matured fruits have a crystalline structure, while young fruits are semi-crystalline. The crystalline properties of matured fruits make them suitable for applications requiring mechanical stability, such as edible film production. In contrast, the semi-crystalline nature of young fruits is better suited for flexible packaging applications. These findings open new opportunities for utilizing palm fruit as an innovative base material in developing eco-friendly edible packaging for the food industry.

Published: January 2025

Mobile commerce has become increasingly present in daily life, especially due to the ease of consumers accessing applications on tablets and smartphones. In this context, the color element seems to play an important role in user experience and consumer behavior. The present study is descriptive and analyzes the influence of color as an aesthetic element on the trust perceived by m-commerce consumers. At first, the paper presents the theoretical framework of mobile commerce, followed by the literature regarding trust in m-commerce, as well as HCI and color aesthetics. A quantitative survey with 15 ordinal scale items was developed and applied to a sample of 361 m-commerce users to test four research hypotheses. This research used screens simulating the consumer’s purchase path into app shopping, maintaining the same interface framework, and changing the colors presented for each group. Statistical analysIs was performed to test the correlation between aesthetic perception and trust, the influence of color changes on the perception of trust, and the suitability for m-commerce users. As a result, we found that there is a correlation between aesthetic perception and trust and that the color gray contributed to an increase in this perception compared to blue and orange colors. Also, data showed that users seem to perceive changes in color disposition on an m-commerce website. The main managerial contribution is to guide website development and design with a greater perception of consumer trust, which has proved to be crucial to managing companies’ marketing strategies and customer success. It could be done by using neutral colors in app interfaces and investing on usability.

Authors: Isaeva Aigul' Ernstovna
Published: January 2025

The main subject of the article is the state system of support for youth entrepreneurship as one of the tools of public administration in a market economy. The article provides a scientific review on the problems of entrepreneurship and youth entrepreneurship and, as a result, developed a theoretical and methodological apparatus for the study of the system of state support for youth entrepreneurship, based on the specific characteristics of youth as an agent of economic activity. Within the framework of the conducted research, key approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the concepts of "entrepreneurship" and "youth entrepreneurship" have been identified and studied. A comprehensive analysis of the essence and content of the basic concepts in the field ("entrepreneurship", "youth entrepreneurship", "state support for entrepreneurship/youth entrepreneurship") was carried out, the issues of their historical evolution were analyzed, as well as their operationalization and categorization were carried out.  The article uses general scientific methodological tools (elements of a systematic approach, analysis, synthesis, inductive-deductive methods), etc. Based on the results of the study, the author's classification of conceptual approaches to the interpretation of the essence of entrepreneurship was developed (6 basic schools of entrepreneurship are divided into 4 main groups, as well as two key campaigns), and complex definitions of such categories as "entrepreneurship", "youth entrepreneurship", "state support for entrepreneurship", "state support for youth entrepreneurship" were formed. Within the framework of the proposed definitions, key features of the studied phenomena at the present stage of economic development are taken into account. Special emphasis is placed on the Russian reality, as a result of which the presented definitions are most adapted for use in the framework of research on the domestic system of state support for youth entrepreneurship. Based on the results of the research work carried out, the article presents a conceptual model for supporting youth entrepreneurship, which can be further used to reform public administration in the field under study
Impact of micro-finance assistance for small and medium enterprises on regional socio-economic development
Authors: Pyshkin Andrey Nikolaevich
Published: January 2025

An overview of measures of regional disparities is presented, focusing on financial penetration of banking services, levels of household income, unemployment rates, and investments. The role of micro-finance support in fostering small enterprises is examined. A statistical evaluation of the influence of targeted micro-financing on the socio-economic progress of macro-regions, exemplified by federal districts, is conducted. A bibliographical meta-analysis of the contributions of micro-finance to the socio-economic advancement of territories is performed and a regression model for the number of micro-finance aid recipients with the proportion of gross regional product (GRP) investments across federal districts is constructed with correlation analyses executed. The concept of targeted micro-financing for SME is refined, and specific criteria are identified, including: below-market interest rates on microloans, absence of collateral requirements, investment-oriented targeting, focus on startup entrepreneurs and the real economic sector, and positive outcomes for borrowers in terms of economic development. Using official data from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and the SME, it is revealed that the operations of micro-finance institutions (MFIs) in entrepreneurial financing, both publicly and privately owned, do not entirely align with these criteria. Private MFIs often charge excessively high rates, while public MFIs frequently require collateral and have a limited share of startup entrepreneurs among their clients. A multifaceted (both strong and bidirectional) relationship is observed between the number of micro-finance assistance beneficiaries and indicators of socio-economic territorial development, using federal districts as examples: - an inverse relationship with the share of investments in GRP; - a direct relationship with SME investments in fixed assets. Considering the results of the regression and correlation analyses, a hypothesis is proposed regarding the existence of an intermediary link between SME microfinancing and investments in fixed capital.

Dependence of the regional investment multiplier on the degree of the regional economy sectoral diversification (on the example of the regions of the Central Federal District)
Authors: Eremin Vladimir Vladimirovich
Published: January 2025

The subject of the article is the multiplier effects that spread in the regional economy. The aim of the work is to identify the influence of the regional economy sectoral diversification on the value of the regional investment multiplier. The author states that the sanctions pressure on the Russian economy needs to increase the efficiency of investments in the formation of the resource potential of the regions. The regional economy investment multiplier was chosen as the basis for the efficiency improvement tool. Since the growth of its value increases the growth of GRP per unit of investment. This approach determines the need to manage the value of the regional investment multiplier. The paper presents a mathematical model that determines the dependence of the value of the regional multiplier on the degree of sectoral diversification of the regional economy. The statistical significance of the presented model was tested using data from the economy of the Ryazan and Ivanovo regions. The calculations presented in the work prove that the value of the regional investment multiplier depends on the sectoral structure of the regional economy, namely, on the degree of its sectoral diversification. The identification of this dependence forms the scientific novelty of the work, since a significant part of the existing studies is based on the matrix or scalar approach to determining the value of the regional investment multiplier, without examining its internal dependencies. The author's special contribution to the study of the topic is not only the identification of the dependence of the multiplier value on the degree of sectoral diversification of the regional economy, but also the definition of an approach to increasing the efficiency of investments due to a targeted impact on the value of the regional multiplier.
