Abstract
Local condiments consumption is a key constituent of diets throughout the east
coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Little evidence-based knowledge's is known of the
morphological changes that may impinge on oral health due to consumption of
these local condiments. VPSEM, a new highly developed model of scanning
electron microscope with simplified preparation of the tested material before use
(Billy, 2000), has never been utilized before to study the effects of these locally
available Malaysian condiments. This study is an attempt to pioneer the utility of
high-resolution microscopy especially with VPSEM in elucidating a need to
qualitate these condiments by scientific investigation thus, hoping to improve this
commercially viable products present quality. At present their quality attributes is
based mainly on flavor and smell.
