Ancient Times

Las algas han sido utilizadas desde tiempos remotos como alimento principalmente por países asiáticos. Son usadas en la actualidad en muchos otros países como fertilizantes, biocombustibles, fuentes de hidrocoloides entre otras aplicaciones. Su alto contenido de proteínas, lípidos poliinsaturados, fibra dietética, vitaminas y minerales las hacen una fuente atractiva de alimentos funcionales. También poseen sustancias con valor nutracéutico, como los compuestos fenólicos y las clorofilas. En Cuba se evidencia la existencia de ellas en la plataforma insular incluidas las zonas costeras y las bahías. Sin embargo, hasta el presente no existen suplementos nutricionales ni productos farmacéuticos en el mercado nacional elaborados a partir de las macroalgas. La calidad nutritiva de algas marinas junto al alto contenido de compuestos bioactivos con propiedades beneficiosas para la salud, constituyen dos razones importantes para fundamentar su consumo. Además, las algas poseen en su composición, polisacáridos que permiten su incorporación en alimentos cárnicos y en pastas, manteniendo o mejorando su calidad sensorial, nutritiva y saludable. ABSTRACTSince ancient times, algae have been used as a food source fundamentally by Asian countries. They are employed in our times as fertilizer, biogas, in hydrocolloids’ industry and others. Its composition in high quality proteins, polyunsatured lipids, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals are determinants to declare algae as an attractive functional food. Furthermore, algae have nutraceutical substances, including phenols and chlorophylls. In Cuba, they are present in all Cuban seashore and harbors. However, no macroalgae’s nutritional supplements or pharmaceutic products in the Cuban market exist. The nutritional quality of seaweed alongside the high content of bioactive compounds with beneficial health properties, constitute two important reasons to increase consumption. Moreover, algae have in their composition protein structures that allows its incorporation into of meat and pasta foods, maintaining or improving their sensory, nutritious and healthy quality.

<p>The purpose of this research was to develop and evaluate a snack product (chin-chin) from composite maize-wheat flour blends enriched with edible palm weevil (<em>Rhyhnchophorus phoenicis</em>) paste. The maize-wheat chin-chin enriched with <em>R. phoenicis </em>were subjected to acceptability test using twenty member semi-trained panelist. The moisture, fat, protein and carbohydrate compositions of the snack samples had significant differences in their values. Sample 5M5R90W (containing 5% maize flour and <em>Rhyhnchophorus phoenicis </em>paste and 90% wheat flour) had the highest protein value of 19.05% while the least value 9.39% was obtained by sample 100M0R0W (100% maize flour alone). Sample 100M0R0W containing 100% maize flour also had the highest carbohydrate value of 75.24%. There was no significant difference in the ash and crude fiber contents of the chin-chin samples enriched with edible palm weevil paste. There were significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) in the functional properties of maize-wheat composite flour blends. Their wettability values ranged from 46.67 – 200 while the swelling index, bulk density and oil absorption capacity showed no significant difference in their values. The result of the mineral analysis showed phosphorus, magnesium and sodium had significant differences in their values in the range of 317.55 – 376.75mg/100g; 5.60 -13.60mg/100g;59.0 – 70.3mg/100g, respectively. There were no significant differences in the sensory attributes of the chin-chin samples. The result showed that an acceptable chin-chin product can be processed with the inclusion of the larva of edible palm weevil with maize-wheat composite flour to enhance the nutritional quality of the product.</p>

This chapter foregrounds two concepts that need to be central in discussions about the future of television in the UK: quality of life, and the value of culture. It makes four main claims: (i) television can contribute to quality of life in important ways, but we should not understand that contribution in terms of ‘consumer preferences’; (ii) television's contribution to quality of life should be thought of in terms of what it enables people to do or to be; (iii) television markets, if not well constructed and regulated, are unlikely to enhance cultural quality of life adequately, because high-quality television is a particular form of ‘merit good’ and is therefore likely to be underproduced; and (iv) digitalisation does not remove the fundamental problems surrounding cultural markets and quality of life — it makes a public service ‘common provider’ more important.

Cucumber Fruit

Cucumber is one of the most widely grown vegetables in China and an indispensable fresh fruit in the diet. With the development of society, the demand of people for cucumber quality is higher and higher. Therefore, cultivating high-quality cucumber varieties is one of the main goals of cucumber breeding. With the rapid development of biotechnology such as molecular marker, cucumber quality control network is becoming clear. In this review, we describe the formation mechanism of cucumber fruit quality from three aspects: (1) the commercial quality of cucumber fruit, (2) nutritional quality formation, and (3) flavor quality of cucumber fruit. In addition, the determinants of cucumber fruit quality were summarized from two aspects of genetic regulation and cultivation methods in order to provide ideas for cucumber researchers and cultivators to improve fruit quality.

ABSTRAK: Pengolahan bahan pangan lokal merupakan salah satu strategi dalam menciptakan kestabilan kondisi ketahanan pangan di negara Indonesia ini. Permasalahan yang dihadapi adalah rendahnya minat masyarakat untuk mengolah bahan pangan lokal ini menjadi beberapa produk yang bermutu tinggi. Pemanfaatan bahan pangan lokal, seperti umbi-umbian dan jenis serealia nonberas dapat mengurangi tingkat ketergantungan masyarakat terhadap bahan baku terigu yang notabenenya termasuk barang nonlokal (impor). Kegiatan pengabdian bertujuan untuk sosialisasi program diversifikasi pangan ini kepada para pengelola dan anak asuh Pondok Pesantren Sultan Fatah yang berlokasi di Kelurahan Wonosari Kecamatan Ngaliyan Kota Semarang melalui pengolahan produk bakeri berbahan dasar tepung umbi lokal. Luaran yang dihasilkan dari pengabdian ini antara lain modul kewirausahaan, produk rerotian dari tepung lokal, pengenalan beberapa aspek yang terkait dengan pemasaran produk, dan pemahaman mengenai kualitas gizi produk yang dihasilkan. Kegiatan ini dilakukan melalui tahapan sosialisasi, pelatihan pengolahan tepung bahan lokal menjadi produk roti. Hasil pelaksanaan kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa peserta telah memiliki kemampuan mengenai proses pembuatan roti. Penggunaan bahan baku tepung umbi lokal dalam formula pembuatan produk roti memang belum menghasilkan karakteristik yang sama persis dengan produk yang dibuat dari tepung terigu.Kata kunci: Bakeri, Tepung Umbi Lokal, Pondok Pesantren Sultan Fatah Semarang ABSTRACT: The processing of local food ingredients is one of the strategies in creating a stable condition of food security in Indonesia. The problem faced is the low interest of the community to process these local food ingredients into several high quality products. Utilization of local foodstuffs, such as tubers and non-rice cereals, can reduce the level of community dependence on wheat flour which is not included in non-local (imported) goods. Devotion activities aim to socialize this food diversification program to managers and foster children of Sultan Fatah Islamic Boarding School located in Wonosari Village, Ngaliyan District, Semarang by processing bakery products made from local tuber flour. Outcomes generated from this service include entrepreneurship modules, local products from local flour, introduction to several aspects related to product marketing, and understanding of the nutritional quality of the products produced. This activity was carried out through the stages of socialization, training in processing local flour ingredients into bread products. The results of the implementation of the activity indicate that the participant has the ability to process the bread. The use of local tuber ingredients in the formula for making bread products does not produce the exact same characteristics of products made from wheat flour.Keywords: Bakery, Local Tuber Flour, Boarding School Sultan Fatah Semarang

Continuously Cast

Free-cutting steel gains specific working properties thanks to the high content of sulfur and phosphorus. These elements, especially sulfur, have a rather high tendency to segregation. Therefore, segregation defects in free-cutting steel continuously cast billets can be significantly developed. The aim of the work was to study the influence of the chemical composition of freecutting steel and casting technological parameters on the quality of the macrostructure of continuously cast billets. A metallographic assessment of the internal structure of cast metal made of free-cutting steel and data processing by application of correlation and regression analysis were the research methods. The array of production data of 43 heats of free-cutting steel of grade A12 was studied. Steel casting on a five-strand radial type continuous casting machine was carried out by various methods of metal pouring from tundish into the molds. Metal of 19 heats was poured with an open stream, and 24 heats – by a closed stream through submerged nozzles with a vertical hole. High-quality billets had a cross-sectional size of 150×150 mm. The macrostructure of high-quality square billets made of free-cutting steel of A12 grade is characterized by the presence of central porosity, axial segregation and peripheral point contamination, the degree of development of which was in the range from 1.5 to 2.0 points, segregation cracks and strips – about 1.0 points. In the course of casting with an open stream, almost all of these defects are more developed comparing with the casting by a closed stream. As a result of correlation and regression analysis, linear dependences of the development degree of segregation cracks and strips both axial and angular on the sulfur content in steel and on the ratio of manganese content to sulfur content were established. The degree of these defects development increases with growing of sulfur content in steel of A12 grade. These defects had especially strong development when sulfur content in steel was of more than 0.10%. To improve the quality of cast metal, it is necessary to have the ratio of the manganese content to the sulfur content in the metal more than eight.
