Certified anti-dementia or skin-care products are scarce on the market. There is tremendous demand from the consumer for these products once they are successfully developed. A projected entitled “Developing anti-aging formulae from therapeutical materials and food processing products” is therefore being carried out. The raw materials used in the experiments are those domestic food materials from plant origins, by-products in food processing and the officially approved therapeutic food materials which are supported by literatures or pre-tests to have the possibility being functional. The purpose of the project is to develop functional formulae for the counteraction against vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or skin-aging. The product will preferably be in the similar configuration as a common food. However, products in capsules or tablets are also acceptable if necessary. The first phase is “Screening for Anti-aging Materials and their Components in Cell Models.” It is primarily the extraction, refining, and purification for the functional components, followed by cell study. The second phase is “Reconfirmation of the Anti-aging Components in Animal Models or 3D Human Skin Model.” It is to reconfirm the function of those active components picked up in the first phase using animal models or an equivalent. The third phase is “Process Development and Pilot Production.” The results in the preceding phases will be reviewed first, and then further investigation will be done in establishing an adequate process of production. The formulation, processing parameters and their effects on the physicochemical and sensory qualities of the product will be investigated. The product specifications will be set. The stability of functional components in processing and storage will be evaluated. Pilot production in the plant will be performed. The last phase will be to assess for the safety and the functionality of products in referring to Health Food Control Act in Taiwan. 2 Food Innovation Asia Conference 2010: Indigenous Food Research and Development to Global Market, June 17-18, 2010, BITEC, Bangkok, THAILAND New Zealand Indigenous Food Research David Pooch President, The New Zealand Institute of Food Science & Technology Inc.

The paper discusses three indigenous seafoods and research with commercial application; sea urchin Evechinus chloroticus, GreenshellTM mussels Perna canaliculus and Abalone Haliotis iris. It also discusses two native honeys; honeydew and manuka honey, and a polysaccharide extract from a tree fern Cyathea medullaris. The paper draws on research work done at New Zealand’s leading universities and research institutes. It gives the name and contact details of the scientists involved. 3 Food Innovation Asia Conference 2010: Indigenous Food Research and Development to Global Market, June 17-18, 2010, BITEC, Bangkok, THAILAND Improve Food Security and Nutrition via Food Science and Technology Duo Li Department of Food Science & Nutrition, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China 310029 [email protected] ABSTRACT Food security is a global issue, especially natural seafood is harmed by deterioration ecosystem. In this paper, I would like to review what’s happened about seafood, and what the solution which has adapted in China is. Fish (finfish or shellfish) has been classified as healthy by health professionals despite containing contaminants, since fish is high in long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids which have multiple beneficial health effects such as decreased risk of stroke via anti-thrombotic and vasodilative effects, increased heart rate variability, reducing serum triacylglycerol and blood pressure, anti-inflammatory activities, improving visual function, improving attention-deficit conditions/ hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenic and dementia; and may be effective in managing depression in adults. All these beneficial effects are thought to be mediated through altering cell membrane composition, fluidity, receptors and membrane-bound enzymes, gene expression and eicosanoid production. However, natural marine and freshwater fish populations are declining as a result of over-fishing, temperature and climate changes etc. To re-establish and maintain the fish population in China, fishing has been banned for 2-3 months during specified periods of the year, which differs depending on the area, since 1995. The fish population has recovered since implementation of these banned fishing periods, and thereby maintaining the sustainability and affordability of fish. Aquaculture products have had a significant contribution to China’s food system, with significant increase in output over the past few decades, from one million tons in 1978 to 32 million tons in 2007. Aquaculture fish represents a higher portion of total aquatic products compared with natural marine and freshwater fish, which has only been achieved in China, and this has contributed greatly to food and health security. China’s success in this area is a good model for other developing countries. 4 Food Innovation Asia Conference 2010: Indigenous Food Research and Development to Global Market, June 17-18, 2010, BITEC, Bangkok, THAILAND Potential Health Attributes of Indigenous Australian Foods Izabela Konczak CSIRO Food and Nutritional Sciences; 11 Julius Avenue, Riverside Life Science Centre, North Ryde, NSW 2113, AUSTRALIA e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Native Australian flora are represented by a large number of fruiting plants which are used for both food and medicine by the indigenous population. Cooper (2004) described 2440 of fruiting rainforest species growing in the tropical regions of Australia alone. In the 1990’s, commercialization of selected fruits have been undertaken (Ahmed & Johnson, 2000), and the subsequently obtained products are available from local growers and producers. However, information on the phytochemical composition of these fruits is limited. The knowledge of composition and potential physiological activities of the indigenous fruits may lead towards their utilization as health-promoting foods. Within this study twelve native Australian fruits were evaluated for antioxidant capacity (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, ORAC-H assay; Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power, FRAP assay) and levels of phenolic compounds (Folin-Ciocalteu assay and HPLC-DAD). The fruit of an evergreen rainforest conifer from the east coast of Australia, the Illawarra plum (Podocarpus elatus R. Br. ex Endl., Podocarpaceae), exhibited an enhanced antioxidant capacity in the reagent-based assays (1708.9 µMol Trolox Eq/gDW; ORAC-H assay) and 1502.5 µMol Fe+2/gDW; FRAP assay). These results were consistent with the Folin-Ciocalteu values (447.1 µMol GA Eq. g/DW), which indicated a high content of total phenolics. Compositional analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) confirmed that the main phytochemicals of the fruit extract are phenolic compounds with the domination of cyanidin 3-glucoside, quercetin and luteolin/kaempferol glucosides. Traces of 3-glucosides of delphinidin and peonidin were also detected. Potential pro-apoptotic anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities of polyphenolic-rich Illawarra plum extract (IPE), purified on XAD-16 column, were evaluated in cell culture-based experimental models. IPE suppressed the proliferation of colorectal (HT-29) and gastric (AGS) adenocarcinomas, bladder carcinoma (BL-13) and human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells in a dose-dependent manner. The growth inhibition occurred with differing degrees of potency 5 Food Innovation Asia Conference 2010: Indigenous Food Research and Development to Global Market, June 17-18, 2010, BITEC, Bangkok, THAILAND between cell lines; the most pronounced effect was observed for the BL-13cell line (IC50 value: -1 - 76.8 µg.ml ), followed by AGS, HT-29 and HL-60 (IC50 values: 203.8, 242.2 and 337.0 µg.ml 1, respectively). The mechanism of growth suppression, studied in HL-60 cells, has been identified as apoptosis based on morphological assessment, DNA analysis, flow cytometry and induction of caspase-3 enzymes. IPE applied at a concentration of 750µg.ml-1 over 3 hours induced apoptosis in approximately 45% of cells. Enhanced activity of caspase-3 was detected after 3 hours of treatment and remained constant for 24 hours of the treatment. IPE suppressed the activity of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) enzymes in RAW 264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Accordingly, the levels of their products (nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) respectively) were significantly reduced. In conclusion, the major phytochemicals of the Illawarra plum are phenolic compounds; anthocyanins and flavanols. Fruit extract evaluated in vitro exhibited modulatory activity towards selected enzymes involved in the apoptosis of cancer cells and inflammation. Further

Each region has used own traditional seasonings to add rich tastes and flavors for dishes. The fermented soy beans and fish sauce, garum, were used since 200 BC in China and ancient Rome, respectively, to impart the umami taste. In early 1900s, the umami taste, a pleasant savory taste imparted by substances such as glutamate, inosinate and guanylate, was recognized globally as the fifth basic taste which is independent and different from the other basic tastes. Past several years, besides the taste, glutamate-rich ingredients have also an ability to enhance sensory properties. Fermented products from fish, shellfish and soybean are rich in umami taste substances and have a long history, continuing today, in Southeast Asian countries including Thailand. Wide use of umami in daily dishes in every region of Thailand including north, northeast, central and south, by adding these fermented products as indispensable seasonings is common, despite of different methods. These suggest that umami taste compounds have generally presented in Thai foods and are important key taste active compounds for universal deliciousness.

  • Traditionally Preserved Fish Products Are Largely Confined to East And
    Traditionally preserved fish products are largely confined to east and south-east Asia which are still produced principally on a cottage i,ndustry or domestic scale (Adams, 1998). As commonly applied, the term 'fermented fish' covers two categories of product (Adams et a/., 1985): (i) fish-salt formulations, e.g. fish sauce products such as the fish ' . pastes and sauces tend to contain relatively high levels of salt, typically in the range 15-25% and are used mainly as a condiment; and (ii) fish­ salt-carbohydrate mixtures, e.g. pla-ra in Thailand and burong-isda in the Philippines. In hot countries, particulady in rural areas, fermented fish products continue to play a vital role in adding protein, flavour and varietY to rice-based diets (Campbell-Platt, 1987). Table (A) summarises some of the corrimon traditionally processed fish ,~Jroducts of Asia. Among the fermented fish products, the more widely used are fish sauces and pastes (van Veen, 1965; Orejana, 1983). In the fish-salt­ carbohydrate product, lactic fermentation occurs and contributes to the ex.tended shelf life (Adams et a/., 1985; Owens and Mendoza, 1985). Lactic acid fermented products can be prepared in a shorter time than the fish-salt products, which depend primarily on autolytic processes I , and offer greater scope for low-cost fish preservation in South East Asia than the simply, low water activity products (Adams et a/., 1985). The pri~cipal carbohydrate source used in these traditional lactic fermented products is cooked rice, although in some products partially s~ccharified rice (mouldy rice: ang-kak, or pre-fermented rice) is used or, on occasion, sniall amounts of cassava flour, or cooked millet, e.g; sikhae in Korea (Lee, 1984).

  • Thai Cuisine 1 Thai Cuisine
    Thai cuisine 1 Thai cuisine - Thai seafood curry - Kaeng phet pet yang: roast duck in red curry Thai cuisine is the national cuisine of Thailand. Blending elements of several Southeast Asian traditions, Thai cooking places emphasis on lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components. The spiciness of Thai cuisine is well known. As with other Asian cuisines, balance, detail and variety are of great significance to Thai chefs. Thai food is known for its balance of three to four fundamental taste senses in each dish or the overall meal: sour, sweet, salty, and bitter.[1] Influences Although popularly considered a single cuisine, Thai cuisine is more accurately described as four regional cuisines corresponding to the four main regions of the country: Northern, Northeastern (or Isan), Central, and Southern, each cuisine sharing similar foods or foods derived from those of neighboring countries and regions: Burma to the northwest, the Chinese province of Yunnan and Laos to the north, Vietnam and Cambodia to the east and Malaysia to the south of Thailand. In addition to these four regional cuisines, there is also the Thai Royal Cuisine which can trace its history back to the cosmopolitan palace cuisine of the Ayutthaya kingdom (1351–1767 CE). Its refinement, cooking techniques and use of ingredients were of great influence to the cuisine of the Central Thai plains. Thai cuisine and the culinary traditions and cuisines of Thailand's neighbors have mutually influenced one another over the course of many centuries. Regional variations tend to correlate to neighboring states (often sharing the same cultural background and ethnicity on both sides of the border) as well as climate and geography.

    Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 42 : 129 - 136 (2008) Fermented Fish Product (Pla-ra) from Marine Fish and Preservation Mathana Sangjindavong*, Pranisa Chuapoehuk, Jiraporn Runglerdkriangkrai, Wanwimol Klaypradit and Daungdoen Vareevanich ABSTRACT Fermented fish products (Pla-ra) were produced from 4 species of marine fish. The results showed that Pla-ra from Rastrelliger neglectus and Rachycentron canadus with 25 percent and 30 percent salt added followed by fermenting at room temperature (28°C-30°C) for 18 months had the highest acceptability scores on color, odor and appearance by the organoleptic test. Preservation of those Pla-ra was studied by sterilizing the products, then packing into glass bottles, tin cans and retort pouches. The samples were determined by organoleptic test and compared with normal Pla-ra after being preserved for 6 months. The results showed that Pla-ra preserved in polyethylene plastic jar at room temperature had the highest acceptability. However, Pla-ra kept in a glass-bottles were more popular than Pla-ra kept in a tin cans and retort pouches.
