Characterisation and emulsifying properties of microwave pretreated camelina seed mucilage
Authors: Ozdemir‐Orhan Necla 
Published: March 2024

SummaryIn this study, microwave (MW)‐assisted extraction was used to obtain mucilage from Camelina sativa seeds. MW pretreatment was applied for 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 min and then conventional heating was conducted (55 °C for 2 h). The extracted mucilage was spray dried. The MW‐assisted extraction method (2.02%–2.50%) had higher extraction yield for camelina seed mucilage than the conventional heating method (1.91%) (P < 0.05). The emulsifying properties of the mucilages were compared with those of gum Arabic and all emulsions displayed shear thinning behaviour (pseudoplastic, n < 1). The apparent viscosity of the conventional, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 min MW mucilage emulsions were 15.83, 14.48, 7.91 and 7.56 cP, respectively, at 10 s−1. MW pretreatment improved physical stability and resulted in a reduction in the droplet size of mucilage‐stabilised emulsions with increasing process time. The highest droplet size belonged to the conventional mucilage emulsion (d32, 4.43 μm), while the lowest belonged to the 7.5 min MW mucilage emulsion (d32, 2.08 μm) (P < 0.05). The results highlight the advantages of using MW pretreatment for mucilage extraction and the potential of using camelina seed mucilage as a natural emulsifier.

SummaryThis study explores enhancing lipid recovery from the lipid‐rich marine microalgae Aurantiochytrium sp. SW1, known for its robust cell wall posing challenges, which necessitates energy‐intensive cell‐disruption for efficient intracellular lipid extraction. Despite advancements in other microalgae, there is lack of reports on efficient cell disruption for Aurantiochytrium sp. SW1 which is vital to reduce the energy costs and minimising the downstream process while maximising lipid yields. Three process intensification technologies (PIT) – microwave treatment, autoclave treatment and ultrasonication were employed on wet Aurantiochytrium sp. SW1 cells to improve the lipid extraction efficiency. Assessing the disruption effectiveness via lipid content, suspension turbidity and particle size distribution, alongside scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for cellular morphology changes post‐PIT treatments, this study indicates all three methods reduced particle size with prolonged treatment time, implying successful cell wall disruption and intracellular component release. Ultrasonication, especially at 50 W power for 10 min, exhibited the highest efficacy, yielding lipid content of 67.76 ± 0.03%. Microscopic analysis unveiled ultrasonication‐induced cell shrinkage and increased membrane permeability, supporting its effectiveness in enhancing solvent penetration for improved lipid recovery. This research underscores PIT techniques' potential as sustainable, energy‐efficient strategies for lipid extraction from Aurantiochytrium sp. SW1 microalgae.

SummaryA study was conducted to develop non‐dairy creamer production with a modified fatty acid profile having high levels of omega‐3 and 6, by using raw materials collected from the Republic Foods industrial non‐dairy creamer plant. The non‐dairy creamer formulation aimed to maintain a balanced 1:1:1 ratio of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids. The ingredients used included palm olein, stearin, RBD palm oil, rice bran oil, soybean oil, coconut oil and palm kernel oil. The mixture proportions tested were determined using Design Expert software, for in total 20 different formulations. From these, six formulations were selected based on their fatty acid profiles, which closely approximated the desired 1:1:1 ratio of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids. To complement the physicochemical results, a quality control and research officer from Republic Foods industrial conducted a comprehensive evaluation of various properties of the non‐dairy cream samples intended for use in coffee. It is noteworthy that formulation number 20 received the highest scores across all tested properties. This formulation had 50.53% palm olein, 1.00% stearin, 1.00% RBD palm oil, 1.00% rice bran oil, 44.47% soybean oil, 1.00% coconut oil and 1.00% palm kernel oil. This combination results in a fatty acid ratio of 1:1:0.8 (PUFA:MUFA:SFA) at the least production cost. The developed non‐dairy creamer exhibited the highest total energy content, namely 519 kilocalories/100 g, when compared with commercial brands. However, after a storage period of 90 days, the peroxide value reached 6.18 ± 0.22 mEq kg−1 of fat, which is below the FDA standard limit of 10.0 mEq kg−1 fat. This trend in peroxide value increase over the 90‐day storage period aligns with the behaviour of TBA, which also showed an upward trend during storage.

SummaryThree‐dimensional food printing (3DFP) can produce foods with tailored nutritional content, complex shapes and textures. This technology requires food formulations (food inks) with specific rheological properties. Pickering emulsions (PE) have gained attention due to their long‐term stability and desirable printable properties, making them an excellent candidate for 3DFP. The purpose of this study is to use bibliometric analysis to identify the most important scientific research on PE used in 3DFP. This includes identifying key authors, countries and universities or institutions where the research was conducted, as well as the primary journals that provide information on this topic. Our study provides insight into the relevance of food ink properties for next‐generation 3DFP and the main raw materials used for the development of PE. Out of the 28 original research articles analysed, only 10 countries have studied the application of PE for 3DFP. China and the United Kingdom have been the primary leaders in researching this topic. The Food Hydrocolloids Journal has been the main source of scientific information. The studies cited Pickering stabiliser particles, including soy protein isolate, microcrystalline cellulose and acetylated microcrystalline cellulose, as well as oil phases based on sunflower, canola, olive and soybean oils. High internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) have shown great thermal and conductive stability, making them a promising choice for 3DFP post‐processing. Further studies should assess the bioavailability and bioaccessibility of the bioactive compounds that are encapsulated. It is also important to explore their potential use in real food systems and to integrate innovative packaging solutions.

SummaryBrewer's spent grain is an agro‐industrial waste of barley malt from the manufacture of beer, which is rich in protein. Thus, this by‐product of the beer industry could be utilised to obtain bioactive peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis. The present study aimed to evaluate potential bioactivities (anti‐inflammatory, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antimicrobial) of peptide sequences identified in 5‐kDa peptide fractions derived from brewer's spent grain hydrolysates. Two experimental hydrolysates (run 5 and run 21) were selected based on their higher degree of hydrolysis (>55%), which were subjected to peptide sequence identification and used for in silico analysis. A total of fifty peptide sequences were identified between both runs. In silico analysis identified seventeen and thirteen multifunctional peptides in runs 5 and 21, respectively, which showed between two and four potential bioactivities. Interestingly, one peptide sequence (DLPPER) showed four potential bioactivities and, according to the Docking analysis, showed better Vina scores towards the protein's targets DPP‐IV (antidiabetic) and glucocorticoid receptor (anti‐inflammatory). These results demonstrate that peptides from brewer's spent grain hydrolysates may contribute to improving human health by offering potential protection against some chronic‐related diseases; however, further follow‐up in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to evaluate its actual capability.

Published: March 2024

AbstractWe examine the impact of board‐level control on corporate innovation in family firms. We find that excess control of family board seats (ECFBS) is negatively correlated with innovation investment, innovation output and innovation efficiency. Our findings suggest that ECFBS exacerbates type II agency problems. Mechanistic analyses show that ECFBS reduces firms’ risk‐taking level, increases their financing constraints and damages channels for acquiring innovative professional knowledge. We also observe that effect of ECFBS on innovation is associated with family origin, familiarization time and family management characteristics. Our findings should be of interest to family firm manager investors and lenders who are interested in family governance mechanisms.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe current observational study aims to determine the extent to which main food safety principles are addressed in Slovenian cooking shows and whether the type of main actor or television channel significantly impacts adherence to good hygiene practices. In general, our results show that food handling presented to the audience in Slovenian TV cooking shows often deviates from the main food safety recommendations. A comparison between amateur and professional chefs has shown notable but statistically insignificant differences. While in the area of personal hygiene, more deviations were found among amateur than among professional chefs (p = 0.011), we can observe the opposite in the area of preparation practices, albeit with insignificant difference (p = 0.884). The current study provides further evidence that there is a large gap between what viewers see and what they should have seen in television cooking shows from a food safety perspective.
Some habits are more work than others: Deliberate self‐regulation strategy use increases with behavioral complexity, even for established habits
Authors: Saunders Blair , More Kimberly R. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractObjectiveWe tested the hypothesis that complex behaviors are commonly supported by self‐regulation strategies, even when those behaviors are supported by strong instigation habits.BackgroundGoal‐directed and habit‐mediated processes arise from separable systems that have been suggested to seldomly interact.ResultsSelf‐regulation strategy use was lower for habitually instigated simple behaviors compared to nonhabitually instigated simple behaviors. However, participants' use of self‐regulation strategies increased with the increasing complexity of behaviors, even when complex behaviors were habitually instigated. The difference in the extent of strategy use between habitually and nonhabitually instigated actions was absent when behavioral complexity was particularly high.ConclusionThese results point to a qualitative distinction—while simple behaviors may progress in a relatively automatic and unthinking manner, complex behaviors receive frequent support from self‐regulation strategies, even if they are instigated habitually.

SummaryIntroductionMultiple factors are related to lower weight loss after bariatric surgery. This review and meta‐analysis evaluates the influence of several mental and behavioral factors on weight loss.MethodSix electronic databases were searched. Percentage excess weight loss (%EWL) was calculated for all moderator and non‐moderator groups of the variables: symptoms of depression, anxiety and binge eating, compliance, physical activity, quality of life, and body image. All moderators, surgery types, and follow‐up moments were analyzed separately.ResultsIn total, 75 articles were included in the review; 12 meta‐analyses were conducted. Higher postoperative compliance to follow‐up was associated with 6.86%–13.68% higher EWL. Preoperative binge eating was related to more weight loss at 24‐ and 36‐month follow‐up (7.97% and 11.79%EWL, respectively). Patients with postoperative binge eating symptoms had an 11.92% lower EWL. Patients with preoperative depressive symptoms lost equal weight compared to patients without symptoms.ConclusionDespite the high heterogeneity between studies, a trend emerges suggesting that the presence of postoperative binge eating symptoms and lower postoperative compliance may be associated with less weight loss after bariatric‐metabolic surgery. Additionally, preoperative depressive symptoms and binge eating do not seem to significantly impact weight loss.

Published: March 2024

In today’s context, one of the main mediums of news consumption is through social media. It has become a common trend now to produce fake news for speedy propagation and popularity. Thus, it creates a sort of illusion and deception for readers. Amidst the umpty number of researches done, we could say that there is no research that could accurately predict fake news over online. In this study, the ensemble classifier is employed to develop a model for fake news identification in online social networks. This proposed method applies the stacked ensemble classification model, the proposed approach that learns the represented text model and classifies the textual data into real news and fake news. Then, the proposed approach takes the collaborative decision from the classified data that is generated from the multiple base learners using the weight-based ensemble method. The accuracy prediction and performance evaluation of time consumption of detection fake news are consecutively 80 Percentage and 11 ms respectively. Thus, it improves the efficiency and classification accuracy over large-scale social media messages through an efficient sentiment analysis model.

There are a lot of initiatives to reduce the effect of global warming. In the Philippines, in the sector of transportation, shifting to a modernized mode of transportation (EVs), development of mass transport, and the like are being pushed. However, the effectiveness of each solution cannot be quantified without established baseline information. The objective of this study is to provide baseline information on 2-stroke and 4-stroke tricycles in Tuguegarao City. Experimental test runs are conducted to determine the effect of the general terrain, weight, road gradient, and age on the mileage efficiency of the tricycles. For general mileage efficiency, ten 2-stroke and ten 4-stroke tricycles are deployed on the same routes. Results show that the average mileage efficiency of the 2-stroke is 23.4 km/L, while that of the 4-stroke tricycle is 31.77 km/L. On a flat road, an additional load of one (1) kg on the tricycles decreases the mileage efficiency by an average of 0.4131% and 0.4095% on the 2-stroke and 4-stroke tricycles, respectively. The 4-stroke tricycle is 30% more efficient when tested on inclined roads. There is no direct relationship between the age of the tricycles tested and their corresponding mileage efficiency. A representative drive cycle for each type of tricycle is developed using a microtrip-based cycle construction. A load cycle is also developed based on the representative drive cycles constructed. The results of this paper will be a good input for future transportation-related studies in the city. This could also be the basis of Local government unit (LGU) and other lawmaking bodies in drafting policies related to transportation and environment.

Published: March 2024

The usage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in infrastructure projects has inclined drastic recently due to its benefits. However, there is a slowness in transition from conventional construction approach to new innovation. Besides, there are lots of issues in current practices such as cost overrun, dangerous, delay of time completion and lack of an overall comprehensive scientific system. Furthermore, although there was high level of awareness on the advantages of using UAVs, the Malaysian construction industry are still reluctant for the changes. In response, to overcome issues that the construction industry faces, such as infrastructure projects thus, this study aims to develop a conceptual framework for promoting the applications of UAV in Malaysia infrastructure projects. The methods adopted include explanatory sequential research methods. For instance, questionnaire surveys and interviews are used to collect quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. Besides that, a refined conceptual framework of the challenges and barriers of UAV adoption in Malaysia infrastructure projects were mainly contributed by the restrictive regulatory environment and industry point of view. For example, the privacy issues and guidelines on autonomous UAV and the industry lack of confidence in the adoption of UAV and education on the adoption of the UAV. In addition, it offers some solutions for the issues that have been revealed in the preliminary conceptual framework for the challenges on UAV adoption in Malaysia infrastructure projects. For instance, amaze the contractor with the final data from the UAV. Lastly, the identify solution served as a reference for other Malaysian construction stakeholders that have not used UAVs before. The recommendations for future scholarly research include the roles of UAV technology with other technologies such as Artificial Intelligent (AI) or integration of data with other software.

Disputes over matrimonial assets, or harta sepencarian, as it is commonly known in Malaysia, are among the financial cases filed in the Syariah High Court of Ipoh. Although there are specific provisions in the Islamic Family Law Enactment (Perak) 2004 on the division of harta sepencarian, there are some questions, particularly regarding the judicial approach used by judges in determining which parties are entitled to make claims, categories of assets that are considered to be part of harta sepencarian, the interpretation of matters related to the direct and indirect contribution, as well as the proportion of distribution of the assets. This study applies document analysis techniques by referring to the files of the related cases recorded from 2011 - 2016 at the Syariah High Court of Ipoh, and also cases that were reported in law journals as a basis for comparison to clarify the issues discussed. The findings show that although the decisions of the Syariah High Court of Ipoh on issues raised in such cases are not much different from what is decided in the cases reported in the law journals or other Syariah Courts in Malaysia, there are several other aspects, namely on the matter of EPF savings, gratuity, and insurance compensation, where the decisions held by the Syariah High Court of Ipoh are different from existing fatwas (legal opinions on Islamic law) and approaches taken by other Syariah Courts in Malaysia. The different approaches are also noted in cases where the disputing parties have children. Although the rights of disputing parties are properly considered in deciding the cases, in certain cases priority is given to the welfare of the children, and the Court grants property rights to the children.

The rapid growth of information and communication technology development has driven the Islamic banking and finance industry to digitalize all transactions and Islamic banking products to go fully online. However, there is a hindrance in developing Islamic digital banking which is the lack of understanding about Islamic digital banking among Malaysia community from different age and level of income. This study aims to investigate the relationship between age and level of income of Malaysian community with the level of knowledge about Islamic digital banking. This study employed a quantitative survey questionnaire of 100 respondents. The Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) software version 27 has been used in this study in analysing the data through descriptive analysis. The general finding of this study showed that the young generation and people with lower income have more intention to adopt this new application compared to the older generation and people with higher income. By analyzing these relationships, the research could help Islamic banks tailor their services and products to various demographic groups, enhancing accessibility and understanding. Additionally, the findings might inform policymaking to create a more inclusive financial system, particularly in predominantly Muslim countries. Overall, the study appears to connect the fields of demographics, technology, economics, and cultural studies, potentially providing essential insights for the development and growth of Islamic digital banking.
