Rambutan seed fat as a potential source of cocoa butter substitute in confectionary product
No full textThis review of literature provides an overview on the compositional data of Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum Linn.) and rambutan seed fat for usage in chocolate product. It is a seasonal fruit native of west Malaysia and Sumatra. It is harvested when the fruit have reached optimum visual and organoleptic quality. Rambutans rapidly deteriorate unless proper handling techniques are employed. The rambutan fruits are deseeded during processing and these seeds (~ 4-9 g/100 g) are a waste by-product of the canning industry. And some studies was showed that rambutan seed possesses a relatively high amount of fat and these fats are similar to those of cocoa fat, although have some different physical properties. In the present research about rambutan seed fat continued increasing due to from previous research was found that this fat can use as substitute in cocoa butter for chocolate products. Therefore, the extracted fat from rambutan seed not only could be used for manufacturing candles, soaps, and fuels, but it also has a possible to be a source of natural edible fat with feasible industry use
Instant organic rice bran milk: a nutritional quality aspect
No full textThe nutritional value of rice bran (RB) is interesting for using as food ingredients in any healthy beverages. Functional drink is one of in fashion products cause of its health concern. This study aimed to produce instant organic rice bran milk (IRBM) with nutritional properties determinations. IRBM was prepared by using spray drying technique of pasteurized organic rice bran milk (ratio of RB to water 1:15 (w/v), xanthan gum (0.1%, w/v), sugar (5%, w/v), and vanilla flavor (5%, v/v)). Yield of IRBM was 52.42% based on the initial RB weight. Palmitic acid (C16:0) was the major free fatty acid (FFA) (124g/100g). The FFA (?-3, ?-6 and ?-9) was observed, while trans fat was not illustrated in the IRBM. In terms of amino acid (AA), IRBM is rich of lysine, phenylalanine, and leucine (624.23, 566.64 and 552.79 mg/100g). Phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium were abundant in IRBM (7911.50, 5687.50, and 3311.50 mg/kg), meanwhile iron (15.25 mg/kg) was the lowest. Vitamin B and vitamin E can be found in IRBM. Nevertheless, nutrition value of IRBM was adequate as recommended for consumption per day. According to the results, IRBM could be an alternative healthy beverage and value-added products from rice bran
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Rice bran: a potential of main ingredient in healthy beverage
No full textThis review of literature provides an overview on the composition data of rice (Oryza sativa L.),
rice bran (RB) and its application in food products. Rice is a major source of nourishment for
consumption, especially in Asia. Rice plants produce rice brans and hulls that have been reported
to health promoting effects in animals and human. RB is an underutilized milling by-product
of rough rice and has high nutritional value. Bran composts importance nutrients including:
soluble and non-soluble fibers, vitamins, minerals, lipids and proteins. Various studies have
been reported that RB is a good source of bioactive compounds such as ?-oryzanol, tocopherols,
and tocotrienols which provide health beneficial and antioxidant activity. Furthermore, the RB
could act as antibiotic activity and anti-cholesterol as well. Nowadays, the beverages made
from cereal are very popular and their trend continued increasing. Some materials such as rice
and RB can be used to produce healthy drink that could be as an alternative aspect. Therefore,
the interesting in nutritionals value has a potential for healthy beverage production like a
functional drink
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
