"The processed sea cucumber, which is commercially known as Beach-de-mer, has been an important source of income for most of the Pacific Island countries. However, no research has been carried out to add value to processed sea cucumbers in the Pacific Island countries. Therefore, the present investigation is the first research on sea cucumbers that were processed and converted to value added food products. In this study, Sandfish (Holothuria scabra) sea cucumbers were used to produce value added Sandfish biscuits and jams. The two different types of biscuits (sweetened and salted) and four different types of Sandfish jams were made with fruits like Guava, Banana, Lemon and Wi (wild apples or Polynesian plum). The proximate composition and sensory evaluation of Sandfish biscuits and jams were evaluated. High protein content in both biscuits (sweetened and salted Sand fish biscuits: 12.3% and 11.3%) was observed in comparison to normal biscuits (Oreo: 1%).
High-impact journals are those considered to be highly influential in their respective fields. The impact factor of journal provides quantitative assessment tool for grading, evaluating, sorting and comparing journals of similar kind. It reflects the average number of citations to recent articles published in science and social science journals in a particular year or period, and is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. It is first devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information. The impact factor of a journal is evaluated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years.
