Short Description: Five transgressive variants derived from a cross between the wild rice, Oryza rufipogon
Griff and a high yielding Malaysian rice cultivar O. sativa L. indica cv. MR219 were
evaluated for red pericarp stability, grain yield potential and resistance to blast disease.
The experiment was conducted at a single location over two seasons. Grain yield was
significantly higher (15%) than MR219 for variant G33 (R14-3-66-4-B-B) which also
possessed the desired physico-chemical properties of grain with high antioxidant
activity (Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma = 107.72 µmolFeSO4/g and Total Phenolic
Content = 0.49 mg GAE/g), low glycemic index (GI =51) and low insulin index (II =
39). The same variant was resistant to blast disease and the red pericarp colour was
stable. The transgressive variant G33 is recommended for cultivar development as a
specialty rice.

Team Members: Wan Anis binti Wan Ahmad
Short Description: Budu is a brown liquid condiment consumed mainly by those in Kelantan and
Terengganu. A new innovative halal budu is produced because of the hesitation
towards budu consumption. Halal Budu is a high protein budu where minced fish flesh
is used as a raw material by mixing with coarse salt in a ratio 1:3 (w/w), salt : fish. The
mixture is placed in covered polyethylene (PE) container and left outdoor 5 months
under the sun for natural fermentation. After fermentation, the budu is ground with palm
sugar and tamarind before bottling. Halal Budu is produced in good hygienic practices
with appropriate utensil and equipment without added food coloring substances,
monosodium glutamate (MSG) or other food additives. Bacteria growth was not
detected in the plate count agar 0.5% NaCl within 48 hours.

Team Members: Nur Hanisah binti Mohamed Arif
Short Description: Pitang leaves (Gynochthodes sublanceolata) express several colours due to the
presence of various pigments. It has been used as a food colorant for nasi kerabu
in Kelantan resulting the rice to be dark-purplish. Extraction of the leaves produce a
dark-purplish colour and analysis of the extract shows higher antioxidant properties
with percentage of DPPH inhibition (75.7 ± 0.05), in comparison to Salacca edulis
(salak fruit), Hylocerous polyrhizus (red pitaya), and Ipomea batatas L. (purple sweet
potato). The extraction also shows antibacterial properties which inhibit the growth
of Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Citrobacter aeruginosa, Shigella
boydii, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. Gynochthodes sublanceolata
seems to have high potential as food colorant which provides beneficial values such as
antioxidant and antibacterial which are not provided by synthetic coloring.

and sliced in longitudinal direction. The materials are then compressed using rollers
compressed machine before undergoing gluing and assembly process to form the
Compressed Oil Palm Composite Lumbers with enhanced density and strength.

from Tropical Peats
Group Leader: Ahmed Osumanu Haruna
Project ID: UPM/MM/03/AS
Contact: 086-855406
Team Members: Susilawati Kasim, Nik Muhamad Ab Majid
Short Description: This work developed a simple, rapid, and cost effective method to isolate HA from
humified substances. A 0.1 M KOH was used to extract and fractionate HA in 6
hours instead of the existing 1 to 2 days. Distilled water was used to purify isolated
HA (without altering their true nature) instead of using HF, HCl, and an expensive
process called dialysis. The HA were purified within 1 hour instead of 1 to 7 days.
This was possible because the distilled water used served as Bronsted-Lowry acid
during the purification process. A further attestation was the fact that the colour of the
aliquots during purification was lighter than that of unpurified fulvic acids. Conservative
estimation indicates that the technology developed could reduce 50% of the cost and
time involved in purification of HA.

can be also be done under sprinkler assisted irrigation. In addition, mutant MR219-4 is
a multipurpose rice genotype because it also has salinity and submergence tolerance
responses and therefore can be used as parent for future breeding for salinity and
submergence tolerance rice varieties.

through environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM)-nanomanipulator system.
The nanoprobe was fabricated using focused ion beam (FIB) tungsten deposition and
etching processes. The characteristics of the nanoprobe were examined from the
energy dispersion spectrometry (EDS) and noise analyses. In this work, for the first
time, the electrical property of single cells under their native condition was presented.
In order to apply this method for cell viability detection, two types of cells were used,
i.e. dead cells and live cells. The results showed that there is a significant difference on
the electrical measurement data between dead and live cells.
Project: Novel Method for Measuring Single Cells
Adhesion Force using Nanofork
Contact: 07-5536333
Short Description: This novel method measures single cells adhesion force using a nanofork. The nanofork
was used to pick-up a single cell on a line array substrate inside ESEM. The line array
substrate was used to provide small gaps between the single cells and the substrate.
Therefore, the nanofork could be inserted through these gaps in order to successfully
pick-up a single cell. The nanofork was fabricated using focused ion beam (FIB) etching
process while the line array substrate was fabricated using nanoimprinting technology.
To investigate the effect of contact area on the strength of the adhesion force, two
sizes of gap distance of line array substrate were used, i.e. 1 μm and 2 μm. Results
showed that cells attached on the 1 μm gap line array substrate required more force
to be released as compared to the cells attached on the 2 μm gap line array substrate.
