SINGAPORE - A team of researchers at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) may have given durian fans another reason to hail the King of Fruits.
The scientists have found a way to turn durian seeds into a food stabiliser (a binding ingredient used to give food items a uniform texture) and probiotics - a good bacteria that, when consumed, helps people to maintain a healthy digestive system.
