Application of Partial Hydrolysis of Virgin Coconut oil (VCO) on Carrageenan-based Edible Coatinng as (Sphyraena barracuda) Fishball Preservative during Room Storage

Food spoilage during storage occurs physically, chemically and biologically which is related to the activity of bacteria. One of the natural preservation that is currently developing is the application of edible coating on perishable food, such as fishball. Addition of antibacterial agent is important to improve edible coating. Virgin coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids which have antimicrobial properties, particularly monoglycerides and free fatty acids that produced by hydrolyzing partially triglycerides at the Sn-1 and Sn-3 position using Lipozyme. The aim of this research was to test the effect of edible coating carrageenan enriched with virgin coconut oil hydrolysis (HVCO) (concentrations 1%,3%,5%) on fishball quality.The method was an experimental with factorial completely randomized design.The samples were analyzed for sensorial assessments, Total plate Count, Total Volatile Base-Nitrogen, Water content, and pH for 5 days at room temperature. The study demonstrated that fish meatball coated with carrageenan based-edible coating fortified with HVCO showed the best result compared to controls (Uncoated fishball, coated without HVCO). Sensory attributes were still accepted by panelists until 3 days. Meanwhile, the same pattern depicted by TPC and TVB-N parameters. HVCO5% had inhibited microbial growth and retarded the increase of TVB-N number on fishball, the results were Log 5,08cfu/gr, 29,69 mg/100 gr respectively.

Exploring the Antimicrobial Activities of Chrysophyllum albidum Seed oil in Pharmaceutical and the Seeds in Food industry.

The anti- microbial activity tests of the seed oil, NaOH and ash soaps of the seed oil, of C.albidum were carried out to determine their effectiveness against gram+, gram– bacteria and some fungi strains. The proximate analysis of C.albidum seeds was performed to determine its nutritional benefits to mankind. Agar diffusion tests using Disc diffusion for the pure oils and soaps while the cup plate test method for dilutions was used in the determination of in-vitro activities. Standard methods as described by AOAC, (1990); AOAC, (1984) and Kjeldahl method described by Chang (2003) were used for proximate determinations. The results show the activity of the oil against Klebsiella pneumonia at a concentration as low as 10 mg/ml. The ash-soap of the leaves shows the highest antimicrobial activities because its MIC is the closest to the standard, Streptomycin. It possesses activity against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia at a concentration as low as 5mg/ml. The % proximate analysis composition shows Moisture content, Ash content, Crude Fibre, fat/Oil, Protein, Carbohydrates as follows (14.98, 1.90, 2.09, 2.38, 12.14 and 67.65)%. The study concluded by unleashing the great potential of Chrysophyllum albidum seeds as a useful raw material in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries rather than being regarded as waste in the environment

The Challenges in Implementation of Halal Vaccine Certification in Malaysia

The global halal pharmaceutical sector is valued at USD 132 billion by 2021. (Pharmaceuticals, 2020). This sector is seen as a high priority development area. Apart from food products, Muslim consumers are also becoming more aware of halal pharmaceuticals. They are beginning to see the potential detrimental effects created by product development, testing, and production, all of which could be deviating from the halal values. Based on this uncertainty, the public at large is increasingly questioning the sources of their pharmaceutical products. Under such circumstances, the situation of children contracting contagious diseases has been noted to be on the rise in Malaysia, especially in the last few years. As a result, health authorities are concerned that there would be parents who may reject the immunization programs for their children out of the fear that the vaccines used may infringe on some strict religious rules. (Johari Ab Latiff, 2018) A conservative Muslim may sometimes reject the inoculation over concerns that some vaccines were derived from contents of pigs or porcine, of which Muslims are forbidden to consume. Vaccines are part of the pharmaceutical products, and like all other pharmaceutical products, they can be developed using halal ingredients, which can replace the use of non halal contents or animal products and their derivatives for medication. The implementation of halal certification for vaccines is strictly bounded by Shariah law and Fatwa. Malaysia. As a Muslim country, Malaysia is widely and globally regarded as one of the pioneers in halal pharmaceuticals. This can be traced to its world first halal pharmaceutical standard which was introduced as MS 2424: Halal Pharmaceuticals – General Guidelines since 2012, with first revision in 2019. Nonetheless, from then until presently, Malaysia has not been able to provide halal certification for the vaccine products. The implementation of the halal certification for vaccine products in Malaysia may have been triggered by the use of non-halal or forbidden ingredients in the manufacturing of those vaccine products. Thus far, the Malaysian Standard of the MS 2424 is the only standard, and it is also only a general guide. There is a need to develop a more thorough manual that can be adhered to by pharmaceuticals. This necessity to certify vaccine products as halal for the context of Malaysia has thus put the Halal Certification Body, like JAKIM, to be in limbo
