Abstract

This study examined the effects of some dietary protein sources on intestinal barrier function in the colon of mice. 24 female ICR mice were randomly grouped into 4 groups (n=6) fed casein, soybean protein, whey protein concentrate (WPC), and egg white diet for 28 days. In this study, we collected the colon to analyzed the TJs proteins. Cecal contents were also collected to analyze the SCFAs. Mice fed with WPC showed the highest serum LBP concentration. Soybean and casein groups had the highest expression of occludin in the colon of mice. Total SCFAs were not significantly different among the groups. Correlation analysis showed that there is a positive correlation between ZO-1 and ZO-2 with total SCFAs. There is a positive correlation between plasma LBP concentration with claudin-3 expression in the colon of mice. These results confirmed that various dietary protein intake has a significant impact on the regulation of intestinal barrier integrity and SCFAs production might be contributing to the observation.

Abstract

Many foodborne disease cases are still existing in Indonesia and worldwide. Chemicals that act as non-food grade additives is one of the cause. Borax is a chemical which still widely used for food in the community. The purpose of writing this scientific article is to analyze the impact of using borax as a non-food grade additive from the perspective of food safety and human resource formation. This article was based on scientific phenomena that occurred in studies conducted by the author in private, which was then analyzed more deeply based on a study of theories. As mentioned in government law, the use of borax for food additives is prohibited. However, borax is still widely used as food additives in the communities. This phenomenon is a threat to the assurance of food security for individuals and society, which in turn will have an impact on the output quality of human resources needed as the subject of future development. Several studies, investigated the negative effects of borax on the biological function of living things, showed that the use of borax significantly affects food safety in terms of human resources formation. Therefore, it needs both a preventive and curative solution for individuals, groups, and the government in an integrated manner. The use of borax in food is a threat to the assurance of food safety for individuals and society, which in turn will affect the quality of human resources so that a preventive and curative solution is needed.

Abstract

Mangosteen is one of the tropical fruits that is widely planted in Indonesia. This fruit has a pericarp that is rich in antioxidant compounds that would be beneficial to be fortified in foods. Application in food can be found in food products rich in fats and oils to avoid rancidity or in medicinal products that can boost the immune system. One of the medicinal products that can be fortified with antioxidants is tea. Therefore, this paper is aimed to review the characteristics of bioactive compounds in mangosteen, the potency of antioxidants to enhance the immune system, and the application of mangosteen pericarp simplicial in tea production. The review of those studies is expected to enlighten not only the characteristics of mangosteen pericarp but also its potential applications in food products. Moreover, it would increase zero-waste food production, hence supporting the sustainability aspect for the environment.
