Abstract

Coconut milk possesses potential as promising plant-based milk, alternative to animal milk. With the incorporation of bioactive-rich herbal leaves in combination with fermentation, the coconut milk presents an opportunity for better functional attributes, particularly antioxidant and antibacterial activities. This research investigates the effects of fermentation (lactic acid bacteria (culture)-mediated and spontaneous) and the addition of herbal leaves (cassava, bay, and guava) on the physicochemical and biofunctional properties of coconut milk drinks. Besides analysing antioxidant and antibacterial activities, other parameters analysed in this study include pH, total acidity, soluble solids (°Brix), total dissolved solids (ppm), and viscosity. This study finds that fermentation significantly reduced pH and the soluble solids (°Brix) while increasing total acidity, viscosity, and dissolved solids (ppm). It was also found that both fermentation and the addition of herbal leaves had significant effect on the biofunctional properties of the coconut milk drink in which they are found to enhance the antioxidant activity, with guava leaves exhibiting the highest enhancement. Particularly in guava-enriched formulations, the antibacterial properties were found to increase after fermentation demonstrating notable efficacy against E. coli (up to 7.03 mm) and S. aureus (up to 8.37 mm). This finding underscores the potential of fermentation in combination with herbal leaves to enhance the potential of plant-based milk.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria (LAB) starter for coffee fermentation by optimizing incubation time and coating formulation. The research was conducted in two stages: determining the optimal incubation time for the liquid coffee starter and formulating the dry starter coating material. The liquid starter was prepared using coffee skin powder, glucose, peptone, and minerals, and inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum, Weissella sp., and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Incubation was performed at room temperature for 24, 28, 32, and 36 h. The optimal incubation time was found to be 32 h, resulting in a LAB viability of 4.2x1013 CFU/mL and a total acid content of 1.76%. The dry starter was prepared by encapsulating the liquid starter with various coating materials (gelatin and gum arabic) at different concentrations (5, 6, and 7%) using the freeze-drying method. The formulation with 5% gum arabic best maintained cell viability at 46.77% over a 4-week storage period. Coffee fermentation using the dry starter showed improved organoleptic qualities, with the best results obtained after 48 h of fermentation. This study presents a sustainable approach to producing high-quality fermented coffee, such as Luwak coffee, without the use of animals.

Abstract

Meal replacement can be the preferred option over the regular meal during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The convenience of meal replacement products contributes to the popularity not only for working adults, but meal replacement also appeals to individuals with hectic schedules and those juggling household responsibilities. Meal replacement products often contain a combination of important nutrients focused on providing a balanced and convenient alternative to traditional and regular meals. These products typically include a combination of protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, as well as dietary fibres to meet the nutritional requirements of the body. There are also a number of meal replacement products with distinct ingredients to fit the preferences of the individuals. Despite its popularity, there are still different perceptions of individuals towards meal replacement products. In this review, the types of meal replacement products as well as the ingredients and benefits of the meal replacements and traditional meal has been compared. Furthermore, the effectiveness of meal replacement intake on satiety has also been studied. Satiety is defined as the period between meals that reduces appetite and discourages overeating. Besides that, the effectiveness of meal replacement products on weight loss and metabolic health has been explored. Finally, the benefits and drawbacks of meal replacement products has been discussed in detail.

Abstract

Margarine is an important fat-based food product widely consumed worldwide, and its formulation has evolved toward improved nutritional and functional properties. This study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis of margarine-related scientific publications indexed in the Scopus database over the period 2012-2021. The data were collected using the keyword “margarine” in titles, abstracts, and keywords, followed by filtering based on subject area, language, and publication period. A total of 204 publications were selected and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer to evaluate publication trends, leading countries, authors, journals, funding organizations, and keyword co-occurrence networks. The results showed a gradual increase in publications, with a noticeable rise in 2020-2021. Research articles accounted for 87% of all publications, indicating the experimental nature of studies in this field. The United States and Brazil were identified as the leading contributors, while journals such as Food Chemistry and Nutrients demonstrated high citation impact. Co-authorship and keyword analyses revealed limited international collaboration and a strong focus on topics such as trans-fat reduction, functional ingredients, and fat substitutes. In conclusion, although the number of publications has increased in recent years, the overall volume of research remains limited. The findings highlight the need for stronger international collaboration, increased research funding, and further studies aimed at improving the quality and functionality of margarine products.

Abstract

Crackers are a popular snack made from wheat flour that is low in protein and minerals. Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and green seaweeds, such as Ulva lactuca, contain high protein and minerals that can prevent nutritional deficiencies in children; however, their application in bakery products remains a challenge. The objective of research was to evaluate the physicochemical, texture, and sensory characteristics of wheat-based crackers (F0) with the substitution of 25% tilapia flour (F1) and the addition of 1-3% Ulva lactuca flour (F2, F3, F4). Protein and iron content of tilapia crackers (F1) were increased by 98% and 18%, respectively, compared to F0. Furthermore, adding Ulva lactuca flour to tilapia crackers enhanced protein and iron content by 111-122 % and 63-89 %, respectively, compared to F0. Substitution of tilapia and Ulva lactuca flours also increased the browning index, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, crispiness, and resilience but decreased the lightness (L*), a*, and b*, hardness, and crunchiness of crackers. However, the higher addition of Ulva lactuca decreased the physicochemical, color, texture properties, and sensory acceptance. Tilapia crackers with the addition of 1% Ulva lactuca contain 23.06 ± 0.05 g/100 g of protein and 7.57 ± 0.27 mg/100 g of iron and are more preferred than other formulations, suggesting a high in protein and iron snack for children.

Abstract

Bali, the only Hindu-majority province in Muslim-majority Indonesia, has a unique tradition strongly founded on religious and spiritual values. The importance of religion among Balinese is reflected in various religious ceremonies, during which are presented beautiful and colorful offerings made of local crops and Balinese ethnic foods. This review aims to explore the use of food as offering in Balinese religious ceremonies, as well as its philosophical values. Fruits, traditional cakes (sanganan or jaja), and Balinese traditional cuisine are incorporated in numerous kinds of Balinese offerings, including canang sari, jotan (saiban), and penjor. Even though each offering has its unique characteristic and the same food might contribute to different values in different types of offerings, the use of food in religious offerings is in general an expression of gratitude and an action of giving back to nature and the gods. The elements of an offering are carefully arranged to represent certain philosophical values or specific God manifestations in Balinese Hinduism known as Nawa Dewata, the nine names of God manifestations ruling in the nine different directions. Some food offerings are also presented to the demons. In Bali, food is strongly intertwined with faith and culture. Therefore, studying the use and the value of food in Balinese ceremonial offerings would help to understand Balinese culture and tradition in a thorough manner.

Abstract

Coffee processing generates substantial by-products such as cascara and spent coffee grounds, which remain underutilised despite their potential for value-added applications. This study aimed to evaluate the utilisation of Sarawak Liberica coffee by-products through the development of cascara tea and soap prototypes. Bioactive compounds in the ethanolic extract of cascara powder were identified using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Cascara powder was formulated into original and flavoured tea variants and evaluated using a 9-point hedonic scale. Soap prototypes incorporating cascara and spent coffee grounds were produced via the cold process method and assessed for total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activity using standard colorimetric assays. The flavoured cascara tea demonstrated higher sensory acceptance across multiple attributes compared to the original formulation. GC-MS analysis identified 30 bioactive compounds, indicating functional potential. Both cascara-based soaps and spent coffee ground-based soaps exhibited TPC and TFC value with strong antioxidant activity, with optimal performance observed at higher incorporation levels. Collectively, these findings highlight the feasibility of transforming Sarawak Liberica coffee by-products into value-added functional food and cosmetic products, providing a sustainable approach to waste utilisation while expanding their industrial application potential.

Abstract

Kombucha, a fermented beverage, is a rich source of antioxidants and offers various health benefits. This study explored the potential of Buni fruit (Antidesma bunius) in kombucha production, evaluating its chemical, biological, and antioxidant properties and sensory perceptions of Buni Fruit Kombucha under different fermentation conditions, including sugar concentration (5% and 10%), incubation temperature (4°C and 30°C), and fermentation duration (7 and 14 days). The chemical analysis of Buni fruit kombucha revealed a consistent decrease in pH, a gradual decline in sugar concentration, and an increase in total titratable acidity, highlighting significant changes during fermentation. During the 14-day incubation period, the microbial population dynamics of kombucha showed a significant decrease in total plate count and yeast count, but an increase in beneficial lactic acid bacteria. A significant difference in antioxidant activity was observed, with the highest activity recorded at an IC50 value of 61.32 ± 1.24 µL/mL. Sensory evaluation revealed no significant difference in the colour of kombucha among treatments, but there are significant differences in taste and aroma. The optimal conditions for enhancing antioxidant activity and sensory properties were found to be a 5% sugar concentration and fermentation at 30°C for 7 days. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of three major compound groups (carboxylic acids, alcohols, and esters). These findings suggest that Buni has a high potential for use in creating functional foods through fermentation, which can contribute to developing functional kombucha beverages using fruit substrates to enhance their benefits and flavour profile.

Abstract

Propolis is a resinous substance collected by honeybees from trees and plants and contains a variety of bioactive compounds with diverse biological properties. Consequently, it has diverse applications in both nutritional and pharmaceutical fields. The present study aimed to investigate the biological properties of Algerian propolis. In this purpose, seven propolis samples were collected from different regions of Algeria and extracted using ethanol as the solvent. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the ethanolic extracts were determined using spectrophotometric methods. The antioxidant activity was assessed using two assays: the DPPH radical scavenging test and the β-carotene bleaching test. The antibacterial activity of the extracts was evaluated in vitro against five pathogenic bacterial strains and two beneficial bacteria. Additionally, the antidiabetic potential of propolis was examined through an α-amylase inhibition assay. The results showed that all propolis samples contained high levels of total phenols and flavonoids, ranging from 29.10 to 95.35 mg GAE/g and 5.19 to 48.23 mg QE/g, respectively. Both the DPPH and β-carotene assays demonstrated significant antioxidant activity of the extracts (P<0.05). The propolis samples exhibited strong inhibitory effects against Gram-positive bacteria, with inhibition zone diameters ranging from 8.33 ± 0.28 to 15.50 ± 1 mm, and moderate activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, the extracts displayed a high capacity to inhibit α-amylase. These findings suggest that Algerian propolis possesses considerable biological potential and may serve as a valuable source of natural antioxidant, antibacterial, and antidiabetic agents.
