Effect of low temperature blanching, cysteine-HCI, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, Na metabisulphite and drying temperatures on the firmness and nutrient content of dried carrots by Mohamed, Suhaila, Hussein, Rosli

“…LTLT blanching allows pectin methyl esterase to deesterify pectin which can then react with calcium to form salt bridges. 0.3% L-cysteine-HCl was found to be most effective in preventing ascorbic acid loss and obtaining a product with the highest rehydration ability, compared to pretreatments with 0.3% N-acetyl-L-cysteine and 0.1% sodium metabisulphite. …”

8 Ways to Boost Students Engagement During Asynchronous English Language Learning by Nurkarimah, Yusof

“…For some students, asynchronous learning is the ultimate game-changer, as it offers flexibilities and new learning opportunities such as self-paced learning. On the other hand, some students may face challenges, particularly in maintaining their motivation and self-discipline to learn, for example in language courses such as English, without direct face-to-face interactions during this learning mode.…”
