Malaysian Nuclear Agency

The establishment of Agensi Nuklear Malaysia (Nuklear Malaysia) was mooted from idea of the then Malaysia’s Deputy Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Ismail Dato’ Abdul Rahman, that Malaysia should play a role in the development of nuclear science and technology for peaceful purposes. <>The Cabinet officially approved the establishment of the Tun Ismail Atomic Research Centre (PUSPATI), under the Ministry of Science, Technology and the environment on 19 September 1972. <>The era of nuclear research in Malaysia began with the historic event signified by the Reaktor TRIGA PUSPATI reaching its first criticality on 28 June 1982, and was officially named as Agensi Nuklear Malaysia (NUKLEAR MALAYSIA) on 28 September 2006.

STABLE ISOTOPE TECHNIQUE FOR HONEY AUTHENTICITY

The stable isotopes technique is the best candidate for honey authenticity since the adulterants, cane sugar and corn flour are sourced from C-4 plants with the produced sugars reflecting their original carbon isotopic composition. By contrast, bees collect nectar and pollen for honey production primarily from the flowers of C-3 plants, and to a lesser extent from the flowers of C-4 plants. Sugar syrups produced by the C-4 metabolic pathway exhibit a 13C/12C ratio (expressed as δ13C) that differs from sugars derived from the C-3 metabolic pathway.

The isotope method was further refined by comparison of the carbon isotope ratio of the sugars to those of the honey protein, where the protein can be used as an internal isotopic standard. A different >1‰ between the protein and sugar in honey can be classified as adulterated. It is the consistent metabolic relationship between the protein and sugar carbon isotope ratios that is the basis of the official AOAC test for adulteration (AOAC 998.12). Since agricultural practices, climatic and geographical conditions are the major factors for most of food products’ authenticity, nitrogen, sulphur, oxygen and hydrogen stable isotopes also are considered to be analysed in the honey.
