Penjagaan akal menurut perspektif Islam dalam konteks maqasid syariah / Fadhilah Adibah Ismail … [et al.]

Kertas kerja konsep ini memfokuskan kepada kedudukan dan penjagaan akal menurut perspektif Islam dalam konteks maqasid syariah. Usaha atau pendekatan yang dapat menyuburkan fungsi akal manusia perlu sentiasa dilaksanakan seperti pemugaran budaya ilmu secara konsisten. Sebaliknya, perkara yang boleh merosakkan fungsi akal seperti penggunaan arak, dadah dan seumpamanya adalah dilarang. Selain itu, impak penggunaan gajet terhadap fungsi akal manusia turut dibincangkan. Penggunaan gajet di dalam Islam adalah tertakluk kepada batasan yang ditetapkan syarak iaitu selagi mana mendatangkan manfaat atau maslahah kepada pengguna. Sekiranya membawa kepada kemudaratan atau impak negatif yang boleh menjejaskan fungsi akal seperti kebergantungan dan ketagihan melampau, maka penggunaannya adalah dilarang. Kajian ini diharap dapat membantu pihak berkenaan dalam mengatasi penyalahgunaan gajet di kalangan remaja melalui pembinaan modul atau garis panduan bersesuaian yang bersifat komprehensif, seimbang dan praktikal

The Principle of ‘Damage’ as Guidance for Civil Society Roles in Islamic Built Environment

Uncontrolled urbanization harms both the environment and society. Sole environmental responsibility has diminished the community's sense of responsibility. In this way, Local Agenda 21 aims to engage all parties, including civil society. This paper will explore the ‘Damage' principle in relation to the environmental roles of civil society. Content from Kitab al-I'lan Bi Ahkam Al-Bunyan was analyzed. The findings revealed several fiqh-related essences related to civil society roles. A sustainable built environment requires policymakers and society to reexamine community involvement levels, types, and forms.

Deep frying performance of enzymatically synthesised palm-based medium- and long-chain triaclyglycerols (MLCT) oil blends

The main aim of this work was to assess the frying strength of the enzymatically synthesized palm-based medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCT) oil with the aid of different antioxidants under deep-frying conditions. Palm-based MLCT oil in the presence of synthetic or natural antioxidants showed significantly better(P0.05) in the saturated/unsaturated fatty acids ratio across frying periods indicated good oxidative stability of the palm-based MLCT oil. Due to the polarity of medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols in palm-based MLCT oil, total polar compounds determination may not be a suitable oil quality measures. Sensory evaluation of fried chips showed no significant differences (P>0.05) between chips fried in RBD palm olein and palm-based MLCT oil over the 3-month storage period

The use of enzymatically synthesized medium– and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCT) oil blends in food application

The potential use of medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCT) oil blends in food applications such as frying oil and salad dressings were investigated. The frying strength of palm-based MLCT oil with different antioxidants under deep frying conditions was assessed. Palm-based MLCT oil showed better thermalresistant oxidative strength than refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) palm olein throughout the five consecutive days of frying. Sensory evaluation and rancidity assessment on fried chips showed no significant differences (P > 0.05) between chips fried in RBD palm olein and palm-based MLCT oil. MLCT-based salad dressings treated with different antioxidants showed similar rheological behaviors as compared to soybeanbased salad dressings. The overall quality of the physical appearance and organoleptic acceptability based on quantitative descriptive analysis showed no significant differences (P > 0.05) in all salad dressings. These findings indicated that MLCT-based oil blends can be used as healthy functional oil for daily consumption

Oxidative stability of palm - and soybean-based medium- and long-chain triacylglycerol (MLCT) oil blends

BACKGROUND: Medium- and long-chain triacylglyerols (MLCT) enzymatically esterified using Lipozyme RM IM lipase has very low oxidative stability as it does not contain any antioxidants. The aim of this work was to study the ability of various antioxidants to increase the oxidative stability of palm- and soybean-based MLCT blends which assist to bring up the oxidative stability of both MLCT blends. In this study, the effectiveness of rosemary extracts, sage extracts, tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) and mixtures of tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) and tert-butyl-p-hydroxytoluene (BHT) in protecting against oxidation of various MLCT blends was investigated. RESULTS: Blending of MLCT oil with either palm olein or soybean oil improved its smoke point values and oxidative stability. TBHQ addition to both palm- and soybean-based MLCT blends increased oxidative stability. Combination of BHA and BHT showed no significant improvement (P > 0.05) in ability to protect blends from oxidation compared to natural antioxidants such as sage or rosemary extracts. CONCLUSION: Blended oils with 500 g kg−1 MLCT and 500 g kg−1 palm olein (MP5) were the most suitable for use at high temperature based on the fatty acid composition of the MLCT blends, which subsequently had an effect on thermal oxidative stability. In general, addition of either natural or synthetic antioxidant assisted in improving the antioxidative strength of both MLCT blends. MLCT blends with added TBHQ showed the highest thermal oxidative stability among the antioxidants used. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industr

Supply Chain Management Strategy for an Effective Collaboration: A Case Study in Malaysia

The relationship between the refinery and other oil palm industries represent there is an industry that affects other supply chain actors through power collaboration for influencing the supply chain strategy. The purpose of this study is to analyze supply chain relationships in an oil palm refinery. The study employed case study research which the data collection adopted through semi-structured interviews and observation. Oil palm refinery in Malaysia was selected in the case study and analyzed using supply chain operations reference (SCOR) model. Finding showed that the oil palm refinery adopted push strategy. Then, the refinery and vessels emerged to be dominant actors in this supply chain relationship. The result provided implications for analyzing the supply chain relationships between supply chain actors which can be applied to any industry that decide to establish an effective collaboration

Rheological properties, oxidative stability and sensory evaluation of enzymatically synthesized medium- and long-chain triacylglycerol-based salad dressings

The rheological properties of various oil-based salad dressings were investigated. The shear rate-shear stress study based on Power Law's model indicated pseudoplastic fluid behaviors of dressings prepared in this study. Soybean- and medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCT)-based dressings treated with different antioxidants showed similar rheological behaviors based on the changes in the storage modulus, loss modulus, viscosity profile and loss tangent in the frequency, amplitude and temperature sweep study. The time-dependent study revealed similar thixotrophic properties between soybean- and MLCT-based dressings. Addition of synthetic or natural antioxidants reduced the rate of oil deterioration in oil-in-water emulsion as a function of time. No significant differences (p >0.05) in hydrolytic reaction of all dressing systems were observed throughout the 3 months of storage at 20 °C. Quantitative descriptive analysis using trained panelists revealed no significant differences (p >0.05) either in salad oils or salad dressings except for MLCT-based oils/dressings treated with oleoresin sage extracts, which showed darker and stronger odor intensity than other oil systems. Nevertheless, the overall quality of the physical appearance and organoleptic acceptability showed no significant differences (p >0.05) in all systems, indicating that MLCT-based blends can be used as healthy functional oils to replace soybean oil in food dressing applications
