In this study, the starch was treated by MHT for durations of up to 20 min. The digestibility and bacterial growth rates increase as the treatment duration increases to 15 min. It implies the potential of the MHT in increasing the digestibility of the sago starch and improving its prebiotic property based on probiotic growth rates.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"165 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80446058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Salmonella is one of the most reported pathogens, which can attach to and survive on food contact surfaces by forming a biofilm. Biofilm formation enhances the persistence of food pathogens and protects them from external threats, and increases their resistance to chemical disinfectants. This systematic review aims to obtain an overview of the Salmonella biofilm formation on food contact surfaces and the efficacy of chemical disinfectants based on the latest scientific data. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to carry out the study. From the review, plastic (91%), stainless steel (64%), and sodium hypochlorite (86%) were most commonly tested. Most chemical disinfectants used in the reported studies were sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl, 100–500 mg/L), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, 0.56%), and benzalkonium chloride (BAC, 100–400 µg/ml). The result showed that Salmonella contamination was more common on hydrophobic food contact surfaces like wood and concrete than on hydrophilic surfaces like glass. In addition, the previous studies also revealed that biofilm formation on stainless steel, plastic, and silicone rubber surfaces was not significantly different. Plus, most chemical disinfectants showed inefficacy in eliminating Salmonella biofilm at regular concentrations (<0.05%). It shows that frequent cleaning is important to avoid biofilm formation and ensure the maximum efficacy of the sanitisers.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"209 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90476653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the estimation of the unknown parameters of the model is a challenging task. Many algorithms were developed for parameter estimation, but none can find the best solution. In this study, a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is proposed for the assessment of effectiveness in determining the parameters for the GDD using modified internal rate of return (MIRR) data extracted from the financial report of the publicly traded Malaysian property companies for long term investment periods (2010–2019). The performance of the SA is compared to the moment method (MM) based on mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squares errors (RMSE) based on the MIRR data set. The performance of this study reveals that the SA algorithm has a better estimate with the increases in sample size (long-term investment periods) compared to MM, which reveals a better estimate with a small sample size (short-time investment periods). The results show that the SA algorithm approach provides better estimates for GGD parameters based on the MIRR data set for the long-term investment period.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80230798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the effect of pre-treatments of the Christia vespertilionis plant on supercritical CO2 extraction yield and solubility. Four pre-treatments were studied: drying and grinding, doping with absolute ethanol (99%) and 80% (v/v) of ethanol/water, and microwave pre-treatment. The supercritical CO2 extraction was conducted at a constant 13.8 MPa, 40℃ with 24 mL/min flow rate in 40 min of extraction time. It was found that the dried sample after drying and grinding pre-treatment produced the highest yield of 4.56 mg/g, whereas the lowest yield was obtained for the fresh leaves’ samples treated with microwave irradiation (1.26 mg/g). Doping techniques with absolute ethanol and 80% (v/v) were comparable in the 2.64 to 2.94 mg/g. GCMS results revealed that Christia vespertilionis extract comprises antioxidants, mainly phytol, limonene, and other medicinal compounds such as α-monolaurin and l-ascorbyl 2,6-dipalmitate.

The growth curves significantly differed between male and female bears, with males growing much larger than females from early to later growth stages. This study has determined three types of age classes of bears, where the age of adult Malayan sun bears are fully grown at 11 years and six months for males and eight years and nine months for females. Sub-adult bears ranged between one and six years old for males and one and four years for females, while cubs ranged from zero to one year old. Furthermore, the ideal weight for captive Malayan sun bears by age was also successfully determined. Such information is important for the management of this species in captivity. Ensuring the correct weight and age stage, among other criteria, could be useful for successfully releasing rehabilitated sun bears into their natural habitats.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91189109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These signals also carry species or individual information, thus allowing the recognition of species and individuals based on vocals. Nevertheless, vocal communication in a crowded social environment is a challenging problem for automated bioacoustic recogniser systems due to interference problems in concurrent signals from multiple individuals. The bioacoustics sources are separated from the mixtures of multiple individual signals using a technique known as Blind source separation (BSS) to address the abovementioned issue. In this work, we explored the BSS of an underdetermined mixture based on a two-stage sparse component analysis (SCA) approach that consisted of (1) mixing matrix estimation and (2) source estimation. The key point of our procedure was to investigate the algorithm’s robustness to noise and the effect of increasing the number of sources. Using the two-stage SCA technique, the performances of the estimated mixing matrix and the estimated source were evaluated and discussed at various signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The use of different sources is also validated. Given its robustness, the SCA algorithm presented a stable and reliable performance in a noisy environment with small error changes when the noise level was increased.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"177 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72534340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional herbals and dietary plants with medicinal values have a long antiviral history and, thus, are extensively studied in COVID-19 therapeutics development. Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is a food crop with rich nutrient composition. This study screened selected breadfruit prenylated flavonoids for their potential inhibitory activities against the SARS-CoV family receptors using molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The A. altilis prenylated flavonoids were selected as target ligands (artocarpin, artoindonesianin V, artonin M, cudraflavone A and cycloartobiloxanthone) and molecular targets from the SARS-CoV family were designated as receptors. Molecular docking was applied with the Lamarckian Genetic algorithm to measure the receptor-ligand orientation using AutoDock Vina software. The structural interactions of the receptor-ligand complexes were visualised using the Biovia Discovery Studio 4.5. Under all possible receptor-ligand combinations, the complexes’ minimum binding affinities (MBA) ranged from -5.5 to -9.1 kcal/mol and held by hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds and electrostatic attractions. Receptor-ligand complexes with the least MBA (<-6.0 kcal/mol) along with strong structural interactions were validated by MD simulation using the GROMACS software. The 5RE4-artocarpin and 5RE4-artoindonesianin V showed the highest hydrophobic interactions at MBA=-6.6 kcal/mol and -6.4 kcal/mol, respectively. The trajectory analysis of 5RE4-artocarpin and 5RE4-artoindonesianin V complexes was fairly stable throughout a 50 ns MD simulation run. The findings conclude that artocarpin and artoindonesianin V are good potential SARS-CoV family receptor inhibitors.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"122 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77459626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electrocoagulation treatment was conducted by having two conditions nickel and copper electrodes immersed in 400 mL of pepper wastewater for 30 minutes. Every 5 minutes, it was monitored, and the sample was taken for further analysis. The results indicated a significant decrease in the turbidity of pepper wastewater for nickel (98.25%) and copper electrodes (86.32%) was noticed with the increase in the electrocoagulation treatment time. At the same time, the pH values for nickel and copper electrodes were increased by 27.43% and 31%, respectively. The results were evaluated by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). PCA describes the correlation between the wastewater qualities in this study within less time. Among four models (zero, first and second-order) applied in this study, the turbidity for nickel and copper electrodes had the highest R2 values (0.9457 and 0.9899) in the zero-order model. For pH, the second-order model had the highest R2 values (0.9508 and 0.9657) for nickel and copper electrodes.

It is rich in anthocyanin and widely used as a natural food colourant. However, the poor stability of active compounds may affect the therapeutic benefits and limit their application in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Hence, this work aims to study the effects of microwave encapsulation on the anthocyanins, antioxidants, and total phenolic content of Clitoria ternatea flower extract (CTFE). Microwave-assisted encapsulation (MAEC) was carried out at three different powers (300, 450, and 600 W) with different formulations of Gum Arabic (GA) and Maltodextrin Dextrose (MD) as carrier materials from 40% to 70% w/v. The total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, and anthocyanins in encapsulates were analysed for the formulations. The findings showed that increased microwave power increased TPC and antioxidant activity (P<0.05). However, adding carrier materials concentration above 60% reduced TPC and the antioxidant activity of microwave-encapsulated anthocyanin from CTFE. The best microwave-assisted encapsulation conditions of CTFE were found at 600 W microwave power with 50% w/v carrier materials GA/MD (ratio 1:1) concentration. The retention of anthocyanins, antioxidant activity, and TPC increased significantly (P<0.05) with increased microwave power and lower concentration of carrier materials. The MAEC approach to enhance the stability of anthocyanin in CTFE presents a high potential to expand its application as a high-value-added natural colourant.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83496505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
