The two Malaysian astronauts, Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar and Dr. Faiz Khaleed paid a visit to MARDI to take part in sensory evaluation tests of several Malaysian foods. The foods developed by a team of MARDI scientists had to meet the highest standards of food safety and nutrition as well as be suitable for the unique conditions (microgravity) of the International Space Station (ISS). Similar tests will later be conducted in space by the astronaut and the results compared. It is hoped that an understanding of taste perceptions under microgravity and on earth can be obtained.
The list of Malaysian food developed:
Chicken satay
Beef Rendang
Pressed Chicken Briyani Rice
Banana Fruit Roll
Dehydrated Mango Slice
Confectionery Ginger Jelly
Roselle Granola Bar
Oven Baked Malaysian Cookie (Kuih Bangkit)
Fried Tempeh Chips
