Unlocking Antioxidant Potential: Comparative Analysis Of Sembada 188 And Keladi Rice As Functional Ingredients In Novel Food Production, Mas Munira Rambli, Natasha Azamain, Eng-Tong Phuah

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an essential crop that is a dietary staple for more than half of the world's population. There is currently a movement in consumer behaviour toward healthier food consumption, which is fuelling interest in functional diets like coloured rice. Sembada 188 and Keladi rice are underutilised in Brunei Darussalam and are expected to have functional qualities. A comparison of antioxidant properties between Sembada 188 and Keladi rice was performed in this study. This research produced puffed rice treats prepared by steaming rice, washing, drying for 6-8 hours at 60℃, deep frying for 25 seconds at 180℃, …


Chitosan Oligosaccharides As A Nanomaterial Platform: Biological Properties And Applications In The Biomedical And Pharmaceutical Fields, Muhamad Alif Razi Dec 2022

Chitosan Oligosaccharides As A Nanomaterial Platform: Biological Properties And Applications In The Biomedical And Pharmaceutical Fields, Muhamad Alif Razi

Makara Journal of Science

Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) have been introduced as marine-derived biomaterials with potential health benefits and good water solubility properties. This study presents an overview of the promising nanomaterial platform for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications of COS. The health benefits of COS, primarily their antioxidant and protective effects, anti-inflammatory activity, antidiabetic properties, and cholesterol-lowering effects are discussed. Furthermore, the promising recent articles on specific topics such as drug delivery systems and nanobiomaterials, are highlighted
