Safe coating formulated from biopolymer can be an alternative for better packaging for fruits. Among biopolymers used for safe coating, polysaccharides attracted more attention due to its biocompatibility and edibility. However, polysaccharide-based materials have weaknesses such as low water barrier and mechanical properties which result in lower capability on preserving the coated fruits. Hence, the incorporation of nanoparticles (NPs) such as zinc oxide (ZnO) is expected to increase the ability of polysaccharide-based coating for the enhancement of fruit shelf life. In this review paper, the basic information and the latest updates on the incorporation of ZnO NPs into the polysaccharide-based safe coating for fruit are presented. Various research has investigated polysaccharide-ZnO nanocomposite safe coating to prolong the shelf life of fruits. The polysaccharides used include chitosan, alginate, carrageenan, cellulose, and pectin. Overall, polysaccharide-ZnO nanocomposites can improve the shelf life of fruits by reducing weight loss, maintaining firmness, reducing the ripening process, reducing respiration, reducing the oxidation process, and inhibiting microbial growth. Finally, the challenges and potential of ZnO NPs as an active agent in the safe coating application are also discussed.
his patients ; as, though he did not carry his feelings on the surface, his winning personality and overflowing kindness of heart made him an ideal mental physician. His old assistants all over the world, as well as his staff, possessed an affection for him such as is given to few men. The Chief hated humbug, meanness, self-advertisement, andpriggishnessof any kind, and expressed himself pretty forcibly at times when any examples of such came to his knowledge. Though of a forgiving nature in most instances, he never forgave anyone whom he had found out " not playing the game.'1 He lectured on psychiatry to many generations of Aberdeen University men, and was seen at his best when describing the clinical symptoms presented by the cases he brought before them.Dr. Reid did not care for the artificiality of social functions or meetings and was seldom seen at these, but he liked to entertain at his own house. He loved the open air, and his chief recreations were shooting and golf. He was passionately devoted to the latter game, and his fine figure, clothed in the favourite brown suit, was well known on the links of Balgownie, Cruden Bay, and Lossiemouth. His library contained every known book on the game ; and he showed a prevalent and forgivable human weakness in buying successively the clubs made by the greatest players of the day, and it was amusing to see the big man wielding the initial very light clubs used by Harry Vardon. He had a tendency to "slice," which he attributed to loosening his left hand at the top of the swing ; to circum vent this he had a thin metal cover, surrounded with the ordinary leather grip, made to encircle the upper half of the handle of his clubs ; this cover revolved sufficiently to allow of the left hand preserving the grip at the top of the swing. The correspondence which ensued with the editor of a well-known golfing maga zine, who did not approve of the contrivance, caused him great amusement. Needless to say, the " slice " remained, and he discarded the above invention and adopted another to cure his " slice " in the form of a strap, which, however, made it impossible for his caddie to withdraw one club from his bag without also with drawing the others. A favourite caddie took the law into his own hands and removed the club straps while his master was at lunch. The resulting interview later was something to be remembered. He fared better with a tea-urn he invented for his patients, and the writer has never seen anything to beat it for institutional use.Dr. Reid's home life was delightful, and to see the big fellow lying on the floor building brick houses with his youngest daughter is a pleasant memory. He was devoted to all children, and they to him.
<p class="abstrak">The majority of the population in Jatipulo village, Palmerah, Wes Jakarta, work as laborers with incomes below the minimum wage of the city. Meanwhile, most of the women are housewives who have no income. The community service aimed to train their skill and foster an entrepreneurial spirit by processing spinach into ice cream. The ice cream processing aims to extend the shelf life of spinach and increase its selling value. The methods used in this empowering program were teaching and training, with the following activities: (1) teaching of spinach nutrient content, spinach benefits, and the theory of the processing of spinach ice cream, (2) the practice of making spinach ice cream production, and (3) monitoring and evaluation. In general, training activities have been running smoothly without any sign of constraints. Participants play an active role during the training in both the discussion and practice. The driving factor of the activity is the curiosity of the participants to innovate the processing of spinach into products that have more value. Based on the monitoring results, the participants had several times made spinach ice cream for their consumption. It can be concluded that the program has provided insight into new knowledge related to spinach and the processing of spinach into ice cream that has more value. Intensive and sustained mentoring is required for the women who want to make their spinach ice cream as one of the products for entrepreneurship.</p><p class="abstract-header"><em>Keywords: Ice Cream, Spinach, Training</em><em></em></p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
