Abstract

Biogenic amines (BA) are chemistry compounds shaped by amino acids decarboxylation and exist in protein food and beverages. They are labelled toxic if consumed and some countries prohibit to consume them in high level especially histamine. Two major methods have been used and developed well such as chromatography methods and sensors methods. The common method applied for chromatography namely liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) while for sensor methods such as optical, chemical and bio sensor. These methods have advantages and disadvantages. For chromatography methods, derivatization methods are required in order to improve their sensitivity and selectivity, nevertheless these methods are very expensive and time-consuming. During derivatization step, it needs more time and bear the risk of an only partial detection due to an incomplete derivatization. Furthermore, sensor methods exist to solve these issues, while they do not require derivatization step, generate a direct signal that can be interpreted by anyone, very fast and simple, yet they have disadvantages in several aspects such as sensitivity, accuracy and selectivity compared to chromatography methods. This review is based on studies about biogenic amines detection from the last decades until now and related to food and beverage samples. Although biogenic amines commonly found in protein-food for decades, new approaches and technical possibilities still required in order to increase the sensitivity, selectivity and accuracy of analytical methods to tackle the complexity by their matrices. The rationale of this study is also to provide data about the comparison of the analytical techniques between conventional and sensor methods. Furthermore, the various approaches of biogenic amines determination and the most applied analytical methods have been reviewed.

Abstract

Engine and machine oils, better known as lubricant, is a fast-moving part within the motorcycle and automobile industries. Due to its high demand, these oils are often counterfeited by irresponsible people to get more profit. The thing most often done to adulterate oil is by mixing it with other low-quality or used oil. Here, we propose a simple analytical method to identify oil adulteration by using UV-Visible spectroscopy. A number of 425 genuine and adulterated oils were used as samples. After appropriate dilution using n-hexane, the samples were analyzed by UV-Visible spectrophotometer followed by Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and Principle Component Regression (PCR) as part of the chemometrics analysis. The results show that prediction samples were accurately classified into their corresponding groups with PCA scores of 49% and 27% for principal component 1 and 2, respectively. PLS model achieved a good prediction to detect lubricant oil adulteration, with R-Square of predicted and reference samples were 0.9257 and 0.9204, respectively. The proposed method shows a promising alternative to the conventional chemical method using a more sophisticated instruments such as GC-MS and HPLC for oil or other organic compound identification.

Abstract

Biogenic amines generally can be found in fish due to amines in fish undergoing a degradation process. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), biogenic amines in fish and fish products can cause harm to consumers if consumed more than 50 µg/mL. Thus, it is important to analyze them. Five biogenic amines such as heptylamine, histamine, tyramine, cadaverine and spermidine were extracted using soaking method with methanol 50% (v/v), afterward they were detected in fish and fish products using gas chromatography – flame ionisation detector (GC-FID) and the biogenic amines structures were confirmed using mass spectrometry (MS). The detection limits (DLs) were range at 1.20 – 2.90 µg/mL. Histamine was detected in fish and fish products such as sardine (Sardinella gibosa) and mackerel (Scomberomorus guttatus) at concentration of 5.96 and 2.69 µg/mL, respectively, whereas cadaverine was found in sardine (Sardinella gibosa) at concentration of 4.96 µg/mL. Histamine concentrations in this study were detected below 50 µg/mL which is below the permissible threshold associated with scombroid poisoing.

Abstract

In this article, a multi-link internet reverse charging (IRC) scheme model in a multi-service network with the addition of a bundling strategy is proposed. Reverse charging schemes in multi-link and multi-service networks are rarely discussed in previous studies. This financing scheme is designed with the aim of maximizing service provider profits by minimizing internet usage costs. The basic cost and satisfaction level of the service provided by the ISP is focused on this effort. The model formed in this study is a Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) model that is completed using software LINGO 13.0. This problem comprises two cases, when α case as a parameter and β as a parameter and or variable with sub–cases increases in usage based financing schemes. Thus, the results obtained can be a consideration for ISPs in determining the price of services that can support an ISP. The updated IRC model provides a more optimal solution than the original IRC model.

Abstract

Cutting Stock Problem (CSP) determines the cutting of stocks with standard length and width to meet the item’s demand. The optimal cutting pattern will minimize the usage of stocks and trim loss. This research implemented the pattern generation algorithm to form the Gilmore-Gomory and Column Generation model in two-dimensional CSP. The CSP in this research had three periods of cutting with different capacities in each period. The Column Generation model added the pattern set-up cost as the constraint. The Gilmore-Gomory model ensured that the first stage’s strips were used in the second stage and met the item’s demand. Based on the Column Generation model’s solution, the 1st period used the 2nd, 4th, and 5th patterns, the 2nd period used 4th and 5th patterns, and the 3rd period did not use any patterns. The first and second periods fulfilled all of the demands.

Abstract

Curcumin is a natural product with potential pharmaceutical applications that can be augmented by drug delivery technology such as nano emulsion. Our study focuses on microscopic structural and dynamics response of curcumin encapsulation in micellar system with lecithin as a natural surfactant under variations of composition and temperature using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results highlight the self-assembly of lecithin micelle, with curcumin encapsulated inside, from initial random configurations in the absence of external field. The variation of composition shows that lecithin can aggregate into spherical and rod-like micelle with the second critical micelle concentration lies between 0.17-0.22 mol dm−3. The radial local density centering at the micelle center of mass shows that the effective radius of micelle is indeed defined by the hydrophilic groups of lecithin molecule and theencapsulated curcumin molecules are positioned closer to these hydrophilic groups than the innermost part of the micelle. The spherical micelle is shown to be thermally stable within the temperature range of 277-310 K without a perceivable change in the spherical eccentricity. The dynamics of micelle are enhanced by the temperature, but it is shown to be insensitive to the variation of lecithin-curcumin composition within the studied range. Simulation results are in agreement with the pattern obtained from experimental results based on particle size, polydispersity index, and encapsulation efficiency.

Abstract

Credit risk management has become a must in this era due to the increase in the number of businesses defaulting. Building upon the legacy of Kealhofer, McQuown, and Vasicek (KMV), a mathematical model is introduced based on Merton model called KMV-Merton model to predict the credit risk of firms. The KMV-Merton model is commonly used in previous default studies but is said to be lacking in necessary detail. Hence, this study aims to combine the KMV-Merton model with the financial ratios to determine the firms’ credit scores and ratings. Based on the sample data of four firms, the KMV-Merton model is used to estimate the default probabilities. The data is also used to estimate the firms’ liquidity, solvency, indebtedness, return on asset (ROA), and interest coverage. According to the weightages established in this analysis, scores were assigned based on those estimates to calculate the total credit score. The firms were then given a rating based on their respective credit score. The credit ratings are compared to the real credit ratings rated by Malaysian Rating Corporation Berhad (MARC). According to the comparison, three of the four companies have credit scores that are comparable to MARC’s. Two A-rated firms and one D-rated firm have the same ratings. The other receives a C instead of a B. This shows that the credit scoring technique used can grade the low and the high credit risk firms, but not strictly for a firm with a medium level of credit risk. Although research on credit scoring have been done previously, the combination of KMV-Merton model and financial ratios in one credit scoring model based on the calculated weightages gives new branch to the current studies. In practice, this study aids risk managers, bankers, and investors in making wise decisions through a smooth and persuasive process of monitoring firms’ credit risk.
