Untargeted fast proteomics analysis using UPLC-Orbitrap HRMS for halal authentication of meat and meat products.

The authenticity of halal meat is a global issue because pork adulteration occurs. Certain religions, such as Islam and Judaism, prohibit the use of pork in food products. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the volume of trypsin with 10, 50 and 100 μL (20 μg/100 μL) and the digestion time from overnight to 30-120 min to establish a fast and straightforward procedure on proteomic analysis for halal authentication of meat and meat products.

Advanced Halal Authentication Methods and Technology for Addressing Non-Compliance Concerns in Halal Meat and Meat Products Supply Chain: A Review.

Religious beliefs have a significant impact on consumer preferences, particularly in relation to food choices. Islam, like other religions, imposes specific dietary guidelines, notably regarding meat and meat products. However, ensuring compliance with halal standards across the entire meat and meat products supply chain presents considerable challenges.

Fast DPPH antioxidant activity analysis by UHPLC-HRMS combined with chemometrics of tempeh during food processing.

Introduction: Tempeh is an antioxidant-rich soybean fermentation product from Java, Indonesia. Cooking methods have an impact on the nutritional value and bioactivity of food.

Objective: This study aims to investigate how the cooking process affects the metabolites and antioxidant activity in tempeh using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS).

Untargeted LC/HRMS Metabolomics Analysis and Anticancer Activity Assay on MCF-7 and A549 Cells from Lour Leaf Extract.

Background: Cancer remains the leading cause of death globally, with breast cancer being the foremost cause among women and lung cancer ranking second for both women and men.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the metabolomic content of leaves and evaluate their anticancer activities against breast and lung cancer cells, thereby providing insights into potential alternative treatments for these cancers and initiating research on active isolates from leaves.

Methods: The research methodology involved maceration using ethanol, followed by multistage partitioning with solvents n-hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate.

Microplastics leaving a trace in mangrove sediments ever since they were first manufactured: A study from Indonesia mangroves.

Mangrove environments have been well recognized as marine litter traps. However, it is unclear whether mangrove sediments sink microplastics more effectively than other marine sediments due to active sedimentation. Furthermore, microplastics archives in mangrove sediments may provide quantitative data on the impact of human activities on environmental pollution throughout history.

Untargeted metabolomics and proteomics approach using liquid chromatography-Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry to detect pork adulteration in Pangasius hypopthalmus meat.

Pangasius hypopthalmus is well known as a good source of protein. However, Pangasius hypopthalmus meat (PHM) can be adulterated with pork for economic concern, thus, analytical methods for authentication are required. Untargeted metabolomics and proteomics using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and chemometrics of principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was successfully used to differentiate authentic and adulterated PHM with the good of fitness (R > 0.

Family economic education, peer groups and students' entrepreneurial intention: the mediating role of economic literacy.

Stimulating potential entrepreneurs is a global challenge and policymakers need to understand factors affecting students' entrepreneurial intention. The growing body of literature has focused on the impact of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention, while this study aims to explore other predicted factors affecting students' entrepreneurial intention, such as family economic education, peer groups, and economic literacy. This study adopted a quantitative method using a survey approach to obtain comprehensive findings.

Accessory child safety harnesses: do the risks outweigh the benefits?

Accessory child safety harnesses are available in some countries as alternative restraints for young children or as an accessory restraint used with booster seats. Their use, in Australia at least, is becoming more common. There have been concerns that the risk of misuse of these restraints outweighs any potential benefit this system might have over a retractable lap-shoulder belt system used with a booster seat.

The need for enhanced protocols for assessing the dynamic performance of booster seats in frontal impacts.

Objective: The primary objective of this work was to examine variations in the level of crash protection provided by different models of high-back booster seats in frontal impact. Secondary objectives included examination of the influence that specific belt positioning features have on the ability of a booster to achieve and maintain good seat belt fit; and the relationship between dummy loads, motion, and belt fit, both statically (pre-impact) and dynamically (during impact).

Methods: Seventeen different models of high-back booster seats were subjected to simulated frontal impacts on a rebound crash sled.
