Evaluation of jamu kunyit asam (Curcuma domestica Val. - Tamarindus indica L.) as probiotic carrier of Lactobacillus plantarum BP102

Jamu kunyit asam is a herbal health product with the main ingredients of turmeric (Curcuma domestica) and tamarind (Tamarindus indica). The addition of probiotics in jamu kunyit asam will contribute to better-quality fermented drink. The purposes of the present work were (1) to determine the viability and probiotic potential of Lactobacillus plantarum BP102 in jamu kunyit asam, (2) to determine the effect of the addition of L. plantarum BP102 on the antioxidant activity of jamu kunyit asam, and (3) to determine the organoleptic changes of fermented jamu kunyit asam. The probiotic strain L. plantarum BP102 was able to grow in jamu kunyit asam with a density of 107 - 108 CFU/mL, followed by a decrease in pH value after 5-d storage. The L. plantarum BP102 in jamu kunyit asam also showed its character as a probiotic, namely, survival rates at low pH and in the presence of bile salts of 63 - 70 and 73 - 83%. The antioxidant activity of fermented jamu kunyit asam did not show an increase. The addition of L. plantarum BP102 was able to improve the organoleptic quality of fermented jamu kunyit asam, especially in terms of flavour and colour. Therefore, jamu kunyit asam can act as a probiotic carrier of L. plantarum BP102 for the development of fermentation-based functional food products.

The effects of icon updating on user visual discrimination under different working memory load

AbstractTo lessen users' feelings of unease and stress after icons are updated, this study investigates icon recognition and discrimination in terms of icon color and location under different working memory (WM) loads. At low WM load, changing the color or position of the icons has little effect on icon recognition. The icon color update will affect the user's accuracy when less information is presented, but it will not affect participants' reaction time. As for position updates, it is better to update icons' positions within the same row rather than across rows. At high WM load, although subjects responded faster to color than location, subjects were more accurate with location than with color. It can be concluded that color updates are preferred for entertaining user interfaces that demand quick responses, while location updates are preferable for human–computer interfaces that focus on accuracy. From the results of high WM load, subjects are more sensitive to color brightness. The more drastic the color difference, especially if the change level was at levels of 20% or 40%, the subjects' responses would be more obvious.

Pengaruh Konsentrasi MDM (Mechanically Deboned Meat) Terhadap Karakteristik Sensori dan Kimia Bakso

Meatballs are generally made from beef or chicken, which are relatively expensive so it is necessary to substitute or substitute cheaper ingredients. An alternative that can be used is MDM (Mechanically deboned meat). The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with one factor, namely MDM concentration of 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%. Sensory and hedonic quality tests were carried out using a line scale which was then analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's advanced test with a 95% confidence interval. The selected products are then subjected to chemical analysis including testing for water, ash, protein and fat content. The product chosen is meatballs that are white and grey, have a non-fishy aroma, are meaty and chewy like meatballs. Treatment A4 (70% MDM : 30% Tapioca) was the most preferred treatment by panelists in terms of color, aroma, texture, taste and overall appearance. The selected MDM meatballs based on sensory and hedonic quality tests were A4 (70% MDM : 30% Tapioca) with chemical test results namely water content 66.38%, ash 1.39%, protein 7.54% and fat content 1.56% and HPP of IDR 432/item.

Puding Berbahan Ikan Mujair dan Tepung Kacang Hijau Sebagai Alternatif Makanan Selingan Untuk Pencegahan Balita Stunting

Stunting is a major nutritional problem in Indonesia, where its prevalence reached 21.6% based on the results of the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey. Stunting prevention is much more effective than stunting treatment. Therefore, providing food, especially food from animal protein sources, is an effective intervention to improve the nutritional status of children under five and prevent stunting. Tilapia fish and green beans are types of food with quite high levels of protein, iron and zinc compared to similar foods. In general, children like sweet snacks such as pudding. Besides that, pudding is also a snack that is very easy to make. The aim of this research is to formulate and conduct organoleptic tests of pudding made from tilapia fish and green bean flour as an alternative distraction for stunted toddlers. The type of research used was experimental research, namely a pudding formulation made from tilapia fish and green bean flour. Next, organoleptic tests were carried out on 25 trained panelists to determine acceptability and which formula was most preferred. The research results showed that there were three pudding formulas with a ratio of tilapia fish and green bean flour, namely F1 (13%: 6.5%), F2 (18%: 9%) and F3 (23%: 11.5%). Of the three formulas, F1 is the most preferred pudding in terms of color and taste, while F2 is the most preferred in terms of aroma and texture, but overall F1 is the pudding formula that is most liked by the panelists.

Когнитивные механизмы цветообозначений в рекламном туристическом нарративе (на примере озера Байкал)

The aim of the study is to determine the cognitive mechanisms of colour terms in the advertising tourist narrative. The scientific novelty of the work is accounted for by the problem statement: it is the first time that colour terms have been considered taking into account the mechanisms of their cognitive organisation in the advertising tourist narrative using Lake Baikal as an example. The paper analyses the views of researchers describing colour terms in the Russian linguistic worldview, the advertising discourse, cognitive linguistics, historical and comparative linguistics. The study emphasises that colour as a culture code is a significant cognitive category and colour terms possess associativity and axiological value, are connected to the history of the nation, its peculiarities in relation to ethnic norms, traditions, customs and rituals. As a result of the study, it has been found that the main cognitive mechanisms of colour terms in the advertising tourist narrative include foregrounding as the informational-pragmatic core in the structure of the textual whole; metaphor as a source of figurative naming; standard comparative constructions and realised comparisons. The analysis of the material attests to the fulfillment of the potential of lexical units with secondary colour naming in such main conceptual-thematic areas as “Animate nature” and “Inanimate nature”.

Validierung von Fleischerzeugnissen ohne Zusatz von Nitriten, Nitraten oder Phosphaten

The challenge for the meat industry is developing meat products that contain no additives, have similar sensory properties as traditional nitrite-cured products and will persist throughout their shelf life with the same level of quality and safety. In this study, new recipes with no additives or with food additive substitutes of natural origin were compared with commercially available products. It was concluded that the new meat products – cooked ham (as representative of thermally processed meat products) and fermented sausage had concentrations of nitrite and nitrate below the method’s limit of quantification during the entire shelf life period. Acerola has successfully replaced sodium ascorbate as a natural source of ascorbic acid in meat products. Furthermore, it was proved that no phosphates, comparable to those from raw meat, were added to meat products. Using sensory evaluation, cooked ham and fermented sausage were classified into the highest quality category, in terms of color, flavor, odor and texture during the entire shelf life, and were evaluated as microbiologically safe, according to the Guide for Microbiological Criteria for Foodstuffs (Ministry of Agriculture, March 2011).

Sensory Evaluation of Gluten-Free Wet Noodles Made from Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Flour with the Addition of Kersen (Muntingia calabura L.) Leaves Powder

Gluten-free noodles are a processed food that has become an alternative food for gluten-intolerant patients. This study investigated the effect of gluten-free wet noodles made from potato flour and tapioca starch (T1 = 40:60%, T2 = 50:50% and T3 = 60:40%) and its addition of kersen leaves powder (K1 = 5%, K2 = 10% and K3 = 15%) on consumer acceptability using hedonic and descriptive tests with color, aroma, taste and texture attributes involved 25 semi-trained panelists. The results showed that there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the level of consumer preference for color and texture and no significant difference (p > 0.05) in aroma and taste. The preferred formulations in terms of color were T1K3, which contained 40% potato flour and 60% tapioca starch with 15% kersen leaves powder, and T2K3, which included 50% potato flour and 50% tapioca starch with 15% kersen leaves powder. T2K3 was also preferred for aroma attributes, while T1K1, for taste attributes, contained 40% potato flour and 60% tapioca starch with 5% kersen leaves powder. T1K2 was preferred for texture attributes, which included 40% potato flour and 60% tapioca starch with 10% kersen leaves powder. Hedonic descriptive testing results showed significant differences for all formulations for each attribute. The current study’s findings indicated that the T1K2 formulation consisting of 40% potato flour and about 60% tapioca starch with 10% kersen leaves powder got the highest score on hedonic tests based on the results from all attributes.

Extraction, optimization, and functional quality evaluation of carotenoproteins from shrimp processing side streams through enzymatic process.

The study aimed to develop an effective and eco-friendly enzymatic process to extract carotenoproteins from shrimp waste. The optimization of enzymatic hydrolysis conditions to maximize the degree of deproteinization (DDP) of carotenoprotein from shrimp head waste (SHW) and shrimp shell waste (SSW) was conducted separately using the Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology (RSM). To achieve a maximum DDP of 92.32% for SSW and 96.72% for SHW, the optimal hydrolysis conditions were determined as follows: temperature (SSW: 53.13°C; SHW: 45.90°C), pH (SSW: 7.13; SHW: 6.78), time (SSW: 90min; SHW: 61.18min), and enzyme/substrate ratio (SSW: 2g/100g; SHW: 1.18g/100g). The carotenoprotein effluent obtained was subjected to spray drying and subsequently assessed for color, nutritional, and functional characteristics. The carotenoprotein from shrimp shell (CpSS) contained a higher essential amino acid score than carotenoprotein from shrimp head (CpSH). CpSS had a higher whiteness index of 82.05, while CpSH had 64.04. Both CpSS and CpSH showed good functional properties viz solubility, emulsion, and foaming properties. The maximum solubility of CpSH and CpSS was determined to be 92.94% and 96.48% at pH 10.0, respectively. The highest emulsion capacity (CpSH: 81.33%, CpSS: 70.13%) and stability (CpSH: 57.06%, CpSS: 63.05%) were observed at 3% carotenoprotein concentration. Similarly, the highest values of foaming capacity (CpSH: 27.66%, CpSS: 105.5%) and stability (CpSH: 23.83%, CpSS: 105.33%) were also found at the same 3% carotenoprotein concentration. In conclusion, the carotenoproteins obtained from shrimp waste showed favorable attributes in terms of color, amino acid composition, and functional properties. These findings strongly suggest the potential applicability of CpSS and CpSH as valuable resources in various domains. CpSS, with its higher whiteness index, greater amino acid content, and superior functional characteristics, may find suitability as functional ingredients in human food products. Conversely, CpSH could be considered for incorporation into animal feed formulations.

Effects of Seven Sterilization Methods on the Functional Characteristics and Color of Yan 73 (Vitis vinifera) Grape Juice.

Yan 73 (Vitis vinifera) is a dyed grape variety cultivated in China. Currently, most studies have focused on the mechanism of anthocyanins or the impact of anthocyanins as auxiliary color varieties on wine color. There is little research on its direct use or direct processing of products such as juice. In order to investigate the effects of different processing methods on the juice of Yan 73 grapes, the physicochemical and functional properties, as well as the sensory indexes of the juice, were analyzed by using thermal pasteurization (TP), thermosonication (TS), TS combined with nisin (TSN), TS combined with ε-Polylysine (TSε), irradiation (IR), and high hydrostatic pressure (HHP). The physicochemical indexes, functional properties, and sensory indexes of Smoke 73 grape juice were determined and analyzed. The results of the study showed that among the seven sterilization methods, total polyphenol content (TPC) in juice was significantly increased in all treatments except HHP. TPC was the highest in TP (3773.33 mg GAE/L). Total anthocyanin content (TAC) was increased except IR5, and TSN (1202.67 mg/L) had the highest TAC. In terms of color, TP (a* = 36.57, b* = 19.70, L* = 14.81, C* = 41.55, h° = 28.30, ΔE = 5.9) promotes the dissolution of anthocyanins because of high temperatures, which basically improves all the color indicators of grape juice and makes the color of grape juice more vivid. After HHP treatment, the color (ΔE = 1.72) and aroma indicators are closer to the grape juice itself. The Entropy weight-TOPSIS, CRITIC-Topsis, and PCA integrated quality evaluation models showed that all selected TP as the best integrated quality.

Cultural unit white – prototype terms

Abstract The article focuses on the Hebrew prototypes terms (PTs) of white in the Old Testament – light, milk, and snow. The aim is to explore the worldview of Hebrew to reveal the original messages of the Bible. The translation is an essential tool that shows which translation elements (the word and its root derivatives) are symmetrical, asymmetric, and dissymmetric to Hebrew due to the different worldviews of languages. The method is interdisciplinary and includes several theories and approaches. Original is Almalech’s methodology for tracking all verbal options to signify color: Basic color term (BCT), prototype term (PT), rival terms to prototype (RT), and terms for the basic feature of the prototype (TBFP). Semiotic osmosis is also an original element of Almalech’s methodology and has a place in the study of colors in the Bible. The phenomenon is observed when Hebrew PT is translated with the BCT, Hebrew TBFP is translated with BCT in the Indo-European language, e.g., darkness is translated with black, fresh is translated with green. In the case of light, semiotic osmosis is when a quality of light is perceived as synonymous with light, e.g., brilliance is synonymous with light in Hebrew, English, Bulgarian, and other languages. The importance of light in religious systems, regional culture, and natural features are taken into account. Almalech’s semiotic approach to color, i.e., treating them as a sign communication system, involves the insisting that a distinction must be made between verbal and visual color because of their different potential to have primary and secondary (figurative and cultural) meanings. The substance of the language sign (sound is a mechanical wave) is physically different from the visual sign (electromagnetic wave). Almalech considered prototypes to be the cognitive interface between verbal and visual colors. Therefore, semiotically understood, color is a cultural unit that contains verbal and visual colors, complemented by social, religious, and folkloric use of primary and secondary color meanings.

Tooth Color Differences between Digital Photography and Spectrophotometer in both Genders: An In vivo Study

Background: Tooth color is one of the most concerning issues in cosmetic dentistry. Different lighting, materials, and genders have influenced tooth color, hence, influencing the esthetic appearance. Knowing the differences between different materials to measure tooth color and differences in tooth color between genders could help in better understanding and choosing artificial tooth color. Objective: This study aims to compare two color-measuring methods, spectrophotometer and standardized digital photography, and gender differences in terms of tooth color. Methods: An evaluation of 300 vital maxillary central and lateral incisors was carried out on 150 adult participants. Tooth color was measured using the CIEL*a*b* color system on digital photography images and the Vita Easyshade spectrophotometer. The settings for digital photography were standardized, and the reliability of the method was tested. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the two color-measuring methods and gender differences in terms of tooth color, with a significant level set at p = 0.05. Results: There were statistically significant differences between Vita Easyshade Spectrophotometer and digital photography in all color spaces (L*, a*, and b*) for central and lateral incisors. There was a significant difference between males’ and females’ L* color space in digital photography for central (p = 0.04) and lateral (p = 0.05) incisors. The reliability of the digital photography method used in this study was high. Conclusion: Tooth colors were found to be lighter and more yellowish in VITA Easyshade compared to the digital camera. Females had lighter teeth compared to males in digital photography. The digital photography method showed excellent reliability.

Deep learning based data augmentation for large-scale mineral image recognition and classification

Vision-based mineral image recognition and classification is a proven solution for autonomous unmanned ore sorting. Although accurate identification can be achieved by training models offline using large-scale datasets, the lack of sufficient labeled images still limits the accessibility and exploration of high-performance deep learning models. To address the above issues, referring to the generative adversarial networks, three different deep learning-based mineral image data augmentation models are proposed in this work. The experimental results show that the proposed models can generate mineral images with high fidelity and have high similarity to the ground truth in terms of texture, color and shape. Compared with classic data augmentation methods, proposed ones can better optimize downstream sorting tasks: the accuracy of ResNet101, ResNet50, InceptionV3 and VGG19 is improved by 18.52%, 9.94%, 4.39% and 2.39%, respectively. Finally, this work also presents a monolithic three-stage system workflow for large-scale mineral image recognition and classification.

Accelerated thermal aging of Kraft papers impregnated with dielectric liquids

Accelerated thermal aging was conducted on Kraft papers impregnated with mineral insulating oil (MO) and palm insulating oil (PO), and the effect of aging time on the oils and Kraft papers was observed. Each sample consisted of insulating oil, dried Kraft paper, and weighed metal catalysts (copper, iron, zinc, and aluminum) in a bottle. Prior to aging, the bottles were left for 24 h at room temperature for impregnation to take place. The thermal aging experiments were carried out at 130 °C for 250, 500, and 750 h. The properties of the MO and PO (moisture content, acidity, and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra) and the properties of the Kraft papers (tensile strength and colour) were determined. Results showed that the aged PO had higher moisture content compared with the aged MO. However, the Kraft papers impregnated with PO had better tensile strength after 750 h of aging, which may be attributed to the affinity of PO to moisture. This slows down the hydrolytic degradation mechanism. In terms of colour, the Kraft papers were darker than their original colour as the tensile strength decreased. To conclude, the Kraft paper impregnated with PO had higher tensile strength compared with those impregnated with MO.

국내 육성 포도 품종 아그데 적포도주 품질 특성

This study aimed to investigate the wine properties of new Korean grape cultivar Ageude. To this end, wine was produced using five grape cultivars including Campbell Early and Muscat Bailey A, which are commonly used for winemaking in Korea and Pinot Meunier and Gamay, which are European wine grape cultivars. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of wine quality properties, color, and phenolic compounds and compared the variations observed among these cultivars. The pH and total acid contents were in the ranges of 3.75-4.57 and 0.39-0.58%, respectively. Specifically, the total acid content of Ageude was 0.47% which was not high, when compared to those of other wines. However, the soluble solid content was 7.85 °Brix, which was higher than those of the other wines. In terms of color, the redness, color intensity, and hue values were all considerably high. Moreover, the total phenolic content and total anthocyanin content of Ageude were notably higher than those of the other cultivars. However, it is worth noting that proanthocyanidin was not detected. Based on these findings, Ageude is an excellent cultivar for producing red wine, owing to its high total anthocyanin content and redness due to the absence of proanthocyanidin, it is more suitable for producing short-term aging wine rather than long-term aging wine.

Brand image design on consumer bipolar disorder based on cognitive psychology

BackgroundBrand image design starts with sensory stimulation. Consumers experience the brand image, recognize the brand, and purchase goods through their senses, which is a comprehensive experience. Eliminating psychological barriers requires starting from an emotional perspective, as brand emotionalization often occurs from the beginning of user contact, and is conveyed through the senses to establish a “sensory” level emotional experience. This study utilizes cognitive psychology to analyze consumers’ bidirectional emotional barriers and establish a positive and emotional brand image.Subjects and Methods This study uses SWOT analysis and semantic difference analysis methods. In terms of graphics, colors, and fonts proposed by a certain brand, eye tracking experiments will be conducted to collect images. 10 samples that meet the standards will be selected for redesign, and 4 of them will be evaluated through a questionnaire survey. SPSS23.0 statistical software will be used for statistical analysis to compare the significant differences in the results, and select the design scheme that best meets the emotional needs of consumers with bipolar disorder.Results This brand image design based on cognitive psychology has analyzed the emotional characteristics and aesthetic experience of depressed consumers, and the sensory needs of patients with bipolar disorder are more moderate and smooth sensory elements.ConclusionsThis study utilizes a multi-sensory participation in brand image design and sensory interaction design mechanism, focusing on consumers themselves, allowing bipolar disorder groups to fully experience brand information and create a pleasant experience, and integrate into society.AcknowledgementGeneral research projects of Pass College of Chongqing Technology and Business University in 2020 (No. KY202010).

How Blue Is Read: Language and Sensation in Literature and Philosophy

Abstract: Philosophers and art critics have long argued that the language of color misses or even mars the ineffable sensation of color. But a literary perspective shows otherwise. Starting with examples of colors read but not seen, and then discussing how philosophers have addressed (and often muddled) the so-called problem of color, I propose thinking of color terms as techniques for stabilizing and directing color sensations. I then show how William H. Gass and Maggie Nelson develop a version of this idea in their respective books about blue, which are really books about the relationship between writing and quality.

성장소설 표지디자인에 나타난 시각적 의미패턴 연구

As Korea grew after liberation, social and cultural changes occurred and were reflected in the content and cover design of coming-of-age novels. In a situation where Korea's bildungsroman is also changing and developing, we found that research on cover design for this was very insufficient, and attempted to study the characteristic semantic system of the cover design of Korean bildungsroman by era. The research method targets the cover designs of 166 coming-of-age novels published from the 1970s to 2023. First, the meaning of keywords and titles by era of the content of the coming-of-age novels is analyzed, and second, the meaning of the cover design of the coming-of-age novels is visualized. Analyze it by dividing it into images, colors, and typography, and check the flow and patterns of change by era. Third, we analyzed the relationship between keywords and visual elements by era in the content of coming-of-age novels. Looking at the analysis results, firstly, the composition of the parts of speech in the title by era appeared to be diversifying and becoming more complex, from 1 type of ‘noun’ structure in the 1970s to 17 types of parts of speech in the 2020s. Second, in terms of images, the oil painting technique of illustrations was used the most, and as the 2000s progressed, the frequency of using the entire cover as an image increased, and the use of stripes also gradually expanded. In terms of color, in the 1970s the hue distribution was medium brightness and low saturation, in the 1990s it was a hue distribution of wide brightness and saturation with warm colors and neutral colors, and in the 2020s the hue distribution was again centered on neutral colors and cool colors with medium brightness and low saturation. appear. In terms of typography, horizontal writing, center alignment, single line, serif, asymmetrical layout, and color changes were used to emphasize headings. Third, the concreteness and abstractness of titles and images were analyzed. In the 1970s, abstract expressions were very high, and concrete expressions were used more in the 2000s. In terms of visualization of the title, the average matching rate was 63%, and it was analyzed that the specificity of the title affects image visualization. In general, keyword visualization was relatively high in the 1970s, but the matching rate gradually decreased thereafter.

The application of communication art in tea packaging design under the modern aesthetic perspective

Abstract This paper first explores the color emotion analysis of visual communication art, using linear equations and correlations to analyze the correlation between color emotion and image color space and classifying the degree of warmth and coldness and emotional expression of various colors. Then a multi-model hybrid color emotion calculation method is proposed, using positive-negative attribute values to get color positivity-taking values, using heavy-light to get color weight-taking values, and using warm-cold to get color heat-taking values, respectively. And the global color emotion feature of the image is calculated by using the extraction algorithm of central area weighted features. Finally, the influence of visual communication art on tea packaging is analyzed in terms of graphic design, color and layout of the packaging. In terms of packaging focus, 64 people think that they should focus on the embodiment of humanistic customs and culture, 87 people think they should focus on aesthetic aesthetics, and 75 people think they should highlight the characteristics of the product. In terms of the cultural and emotional orientation of packaging, 70.9% of people think that packaging diversity is the main tendency, and 50.9% think that retro style can better reflect the cultural characteristics of tea. The art of visual communication makes tea packaging design more design and aesthetic.

Women’s Language Features On Bridgerton Cast Youtube Interview By Netflix

In sociolinguistics, study about language and gender exists which relates to the relationship between the language of male and female. The most popular study about the related topic is the study of women’s language features by Robin Lakoff. The way women and men in delivering content in a conversation have different characteristics and it is interesting to be studied hence we acknowledge how language is used by different genders, especially for women as the most frequent role to be appeared in the data source. This study aimed at identifying the types of women’s language and describing the functions of each feature applied by the female casts of Bridgerton in an interview video. The data in this study were taken from a YouTube video held by Netflix entitled “TUDUM: Extended Talent Panel”. The method used in collecting the data was the observation method along with the note-taking technique. The theory used to analyze the data was the theory of women’s language proposed by Lakoff (1995). The result of this study shows that there are seven women’s language features found in the Youtube interview video of Bridgerton cast such as lexical hedges or fillers, tag questions, rising intonation on declarative, empty adjectives, intensifiers, hypercorrect grammar, and avoidance of strong words. However, some women’s language features are absent in the video such as precise color terms, super-polite form, and emphatic stress. The most dominant feature used is the lexical hedges with a total of 3 types used by the female cast. This feature is used to indicate that the speaker is uncertain about their statements, to give preparation time before the statement, and to decrease the strength of the statement.Bridgerton
