There are many areas in medicine and industry where it would be advantageous to orally deliver bioactive proteins and peptides (BPPs), including ACE inhibitors, antimicrobials, antioxidants, hormones, enzymes, and vaccines. A major challenge in this area is that many BPPs degrade during storage of the product or during passage through the human gut, thereby losing their activity. Moreover, many BPPs have undesirable taste profiles (such as bitterness or astringency), which makes them unpleasant to consume. These challenges can often be overcome by encapsulating them within colloidal particles that protect them from any adverse conditions in their environment, but then release them at the desired site-of-action, which may be inside the gut or body. This article begins with a discussion of BPP characteristics and the hurdles involved in their delivery. It then highlights the characteristics of colloidal particles that can be manipulated to create effective BPP-delivery systems, including particle composition, size, and interfacial properties. The factors impacting the functional performance of colloidal delivery systems are then highlighted, including their loading capacity, encapsulation efficiency, protective properties, retention/release properties, and stability. Different kinds of colloidal delivery systems suitable for encapsulation of BPPs are then reviewed, such as microemulsions, emulsions, solid lipid particles, liposomes, and microgels. Finally, some examples of the use of colloidal delivery systems for delivery of specific BPPs are given, including hormones, enzymes, vaccines, antimicrobials, and ACE inhibitors. An emphasis is on the development of food-grade colloidal delivery systems, which could be used in functional or medical food applications. The knowledge presented should facilitate the design of more effective vehicles for the oral delivery of bioactive proteins and peptides.

Procurement function is a facilitator and enabler of every value chain. This paper is a result of a study on the contribution of procurement function on the public services delivery systems and on the national socio-economic development. Specific foci were on: assessing the contribution of procurement function on the public services delivery systems; and assessing the contribution of procurement function on the attainment of the objectives of the national socio-economic development. The study used a survey of value-laden opinions. Localities surveyed were deliberately selected and sampled. The study covered one metropolis and business city (Dar es Salaam), three regional administrative cities (Arusha, Mbeya and Mwanza), one central government municipal (Dodoma), and one local municipal council (Morogoro). A deliberate sample of 150 case respondents was envisaged. However, the study covered 129 case respondents. Data management and analysis were qualitative in which thematic analysis, documentary reviews and content analysis were applied upon the specific study objectives.  This paper provides value-laden opinions generated out of the case respondents’ perceptions on the specific themes and issues related thereto. The results of assessment show a significant contribution of the procurement function on the Tanzania public services delivery systems and on the national socio-economic development agenda. The assessments show a positive marginal contribution of the procurement functional performance on the national economic development agenda by more than 70%.

The supplementation of plant-based foods and beverages with bioactive agents may be an important strategy for increasing human healthiness. Numerous kinds of colloidal delivery systems have been developed to encapsulate bioactives with the goal of improving their water dispersibility, chemical stability, and bioavailability. In this review, we focus on colloidal delivery systems assembled entirely from plant-based ingredients, such as lipids, proteins, polysaccharides, phospholipids, and surfactants isolated from botanical sources. In particular, the utilization of these ingredients to create plant-based nanoemulsions, nanoliposomes, nanoparticles, and microgels is covered. The utilization of these delivery systems to encapsulate, protect, and release various kinds of bioactives is highlighted, including oil-soluble vitamins (like vitamin D), ω-3 oils, carotenoids (vitamin A precursors), curcuminoids, and polyphenols. The functionality of these delivery systems can be tailored to specific applications by careful selection of ingredients and processing operations, as this enables the composition, size, shape, internal structure, surface chemistry, and electrical characteristics of the colloidal particles to be controlled. The plant-based delivery systems discussed in this article may be useful for introducing active ingredients into the next generation of plant-based foods, meat, seafood, milk, and egg analogs. Nevertheless, there is still a need to systematically compare the functional performance of different delivery systems for specific applications to establish the most appropriate one. In addition, there is a need to test their efficacy at delivering bioavailable forms of bioactives using in vivo studies.

Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perlakuan konsentrasi minyak cengkeh untuk mengendalikan patogen terbawa benih pada benih tomat secara in vitro dan in vivo. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus sampai dengan November 2017 di Laboratorium Ilmu dan Teknologi Benih Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Syiah Kuala. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) pola faktorial yang terdiri dari dua faktor. Faktor yang petama yaitu konsentrasi minyak cengkeh (C) yang terdiri atas 6 taraf yaitu 0,000%, 0,010%, 0,015%, 0,020%, 0,025%, 0,030%. Faktor kedua adalah jenis patogen (P) yang terdiri dari 2 taraf yaitu Fusarium oxysporum dan Pythium sp. Dengan demikian terdapat 12 kombinasi perlakuan dengan 3 kali ulangan, sehingga didapatkan 36 satuan percobaan. Adapun parameter in vitro yang diamati adalah diameter koloni dan daya hambat patogen lalu parameter in vivo yang diamati adalah pre emergence damping off, post emergence damping off, keparahan penyakit dan tinggi tanaman tomat.  Hasil penelitian menujukkan konsentrasi minyak cengkeh perpengaruh terhadap diameter koloni, daya hambat patogen, pre emergence damping off, post emergence damping off, keparahan penyakit dan tinggi tanaman tomat. Perbedaan jenis patogen yang digunakan berpengaruh terhadap diameter koloni, daya hambat patogen, keparahan penyakit dan tinggi tanaman, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap persentase pre emergence damping off dan persentase post emergence damping off. Konsentrasi minyak cengkeh yang terbaik untuk mengendalikan patogen terbawa benih baik secara in vitro maupun in vivo adalah 0,020%. Jenis patogen yang lebih dapat dikendalikan secara in vitro adalah F. oxysporum dan jenis patogen yang lebih dapat dikendalikan secara in vivo adalah Phytium sp.The Effectiveness Clove Oil to Control Seed Borne Pathogens In Vitro and In Vivo on Tomato Seeds (Lycopersicum esculentum)Abstrack. This study aims to determine the effect of clove oil concentration treatment to control seed borne pathogens on tomato seeds in vitro and in vivo. The research was conducted from August until November 2017 at the Technology and Seed Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University. The design used was Completely Randomized Design (RAL) factorial pattern consisting of two factors. The first factor is the concentration of clove oil (C) which consists of 6 levels, that were 0.000%, 0.010%, 0.015%, 0.020%, 0.025%, 0.030%. The second factor is the type of pathogen (P) which consists of 2 levels, that were Fusarium oxysporum and Pythium sp. There were 12 combinations of treatments with 3 replicated, so that obtained 36 units experiment. The in vitro observed variables were diameter of the colony, pathogen inhibitory activity and in vivo observed variables were pre emergence damping off, post emergence damping off, disease severity and tomato plants height. The results showed that the concentration of clove oil had a significant effect on diameter of the colony, pathogen inhibitory activity, pre emergence damping off, post emergence damping off, disease severity and tomato plants height. The difference type of pathogen had a significant effect on the diameter of the colony, pathogen inhibition, disease severity and tomato plant height, but had no significant effect on the percentage of pre emergence damping off and the percentage of post emergence damping off. The best concentration of clove oil to control seed borne pathogens both in vitro and in vivo is 0.020%. The type of pathogen that can be more controlled in vitro is F. oxysporum and the type of pathogen that can be more controlled in vivo is Phytium sp.
