    The Malaysia’s cultural heritage is authentic, unique and colourful with various local cuisines of different races and cultures. It is mainly originated from the Malay culture being the largest ethnic group in the country. The Malays themselves have contributed to many local cuisines ranging from appetiser, soup, main course and dessert. However, some Malay heritage foods have almost been forgotten and jeopardized in quality. This is especially happening to the Malay sweets or desserts which have gradually become less appealing to the younger generations. They are not even familiar with Malay foods, let alone consuming them. Among the popular Malay heritage foods in Malaysia are lemang, ketupat, rendang, wajik and dodol. Dodol specifically has been listed as one of the endangered heritage foods in Malaysia. Preserving the Malay cuisines is part of sustaining the Malay culture and this should begin with a great amount of knowledge and understanding about any elements within the culture itself. This article highlights a nostalgic and evergreen Malay’s traditional sweet, known by the locals as dodol by discussing its history, different types and names of dodol, as well as the recipes, preparation, cooking methods and packaging. Furthermore, this article hopes to aid the readers, especially among the younger generations in the Malay community to have greater understanding and appreciation about their own beautiful culture.

    Soy protein isolate (SPI) is a typical commercial product of soybean, widely used as a food ingredient. SPI has long been thought to consist of two major storage proteins, namely, glycinin and β-conglycinin. However, the finding of new protein fractions, lipophilic proteins (LP), which occupy about 30% of SPI, requires us to reconsider the composition and functional properties of SPI. In this review, we consider the origin of LP and its interaction with the two storage proteins referring to recent results on the solubility of LP, glycinin, β-conglycinin, and SPI. The importance of the interaction between LP and the storage proteins is also highlighted by comparing our results with those previously published on the emulsifying properties of LP. The major component of LP is a complex of oleosin-phospholipids, and this complex forms a strong membrane surrounding the oil body in soybean seeds. The possibility of using the oil body as an emulsifying agent is also discussed, and the importance of the interaction between LP and storage proteins is highlighted.
