Comparison between Pycnoporus sanguineus and Oxyporus latemarginatus in delignifying kenaf chips. by Halis, Rasmina, Tan, Hui Rus, Ashaari, Zaidon, Mohamed, Rozi

“…Biological pretreatment using white rot fungi degrades lignin and also alters the ultrastructure of lignocellulosic biomass, thus the pretreatment increases the facility to convert polysaccharide into simple sugars. This study compared the ability to degrade lignin by p sanguincus, which is a known lignin degrading fungus, to another tropical basidiomycete Oxypoms latemarginalus FRIM 31 isolated from Malaysia forest. …”

A review: nutrition quality and processing of Malaysian strawberries by Shamsuddin, Rosnah, Hamzah, Hanny Zurina, K., Shuso, E., Yasunaga, Mahat, Fauziah

“…The review revealed that strawberries are rich in anthocyanin (which contributes to its red colour and flavour) and vitamin C, high in moisture content (up to 92% at ripening stage), have an acidic pH (ranging from 3.39 to 3.8 upon ripening) and sweet in taste (glucose, fructose and sucrose are the major soluble sugars available in strawberries). Several factors contributed to strawberry fruits losses and deterioration including the effect of improper handling, storage condition and pathogen bacteria attack. …”

Antioxidative study of polysaccharides extracted from red (Kappaphycus alvarezii), green (Kappaphycus striatus) and brown (Padina gymnospora) marine macroalgae/seaweed by Bhuyar, P., Sundararaju, Sathyavathi, Mohd Hasbi, Ab. Rahim, Unpaprom, Yuwalee, Gaanty Pragas, Maniam, Natanamurugaraj, Govindan

“…Sterile and fresh tissues of three marine macroalgae red, green and brown (Kappaphycus alvarezii, Kappaphycus striatus and Padina gymnospora) collected from Malaysia east costal seas were compared for the antioxidants and polysaccharide composition of sugars as well as the active components. Results obtained showed that polysaccharides isolated from Kappaphycus alvarezii, Kappaphycus striatus and Padina gymnospora) can be used as a source of natural antioxidant compounds as they possess antioxidant potential in which the Padina gymnospora showed 15.56 ± 0.12 mg/mL to be the best antioxidants among all the polysaccharides studied. …”
