<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Edible films were elaborated with sodium caseinate and different types of carrageenans (iota, kappa or lambda), and glycerol as plasticizer, to determine the different specific interactions between caseinate and carrageenans on physical and mechanical properties via a response surface methodology approach. The different sulphate groups content in the different carrageenans affected differentially edible films properties. The use of lambda carrageenan in edible film formulation resulted in more soluble and permeably film, with a concomitantly both less rigid and more elastic structure. The edible film formulation was optimized to 8.0 % of caseinate, 0.4% of carrageenan (irrespectively of the type) and 0.3% of glycerol.</abstract>

The study found that: the most critical factor affecting the strength of the core competence of listed liquor companies is the technological innovation capability; in general, the core competence of the ten listed liquor companies is weak, with an average Grey Relational Degree of 0.752, indicating more potentials for improvement; in addition, with the exception of Kweichou Moutai, the other nine listed liquor companies are all in an uncoordinated state regarding the development of the six capabilities, and they usually have one or several capabilities lagged behind.</abstract>

This study aimed to determine the prospective processed cocoa products with a system approach using Bayes method and assessed the potential of added value by using Hayami method. Based on several assessment criteria indicated that chocolate bar is the priority product that needs to be developed and followed by several other processed products. This development was able to produce the added value of Rp 135.000 per kg of cocoa beans. Result indicated that by processing the cocoa beans into chocolate bar could provide a considerable income for the businessman.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The effects of kefir grains from different regions in China on fermentation and bioactivity were studied by using pH value, acidity degree, protein hydrolysis degree, antioxidant activity, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE, EC 3.4.15.1) inhibition rate and sensory evaluation as indexes to select the most suitable kefir grains as starter for goat milk. The parameters of kefir fermented goat milk were optimized by single factor experiment constantly. The results showed that kefir grain K1, which performed better in antioxidant activity, ACE inhibitory activity than the other four kefir grains and sensory evaluation was inferior to kefir grain K5 only, was suitable for the fermentation of goat milk. And the optimum fermentation conditions were found to be as 3% inoculation size at 25 °C for 22h.</abstract>

The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate gluten free biscuits made from a mixture of flours (50% corn flour and 50% oat flour) with various fats (palm fat, coconut oil) and sweeteners (sugar, stevioside with erythritol). Sample biscuits were made and then analyzed to find out the moisture, water activity, braking point, specific volume and sensory evaluation. All samples had the moisture close to 5-6%. Water activity ranged from 0.49 to 0.71. The breaking point was higher for sample prepared with palm fat and sugar (0.43). This sample was accepted by panellist better than others samples of biscuits.</abstract>
