Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable food production has led to a growing interest in the utilization of agricultural wastes as alternative raw materials in the fermentation industry. This systematic literature review examines the potential of agricultural by-products, such as fruit peels, vegetable scraps, and cereal residues, as substrates for fermented food production. By analyzing a wide range of studies, this review identifies the types of agricultural wastes successfully used, the fermentation processes involved, and the benefits derived from these practices, including waste reduction, cost savings, and nutritional enhancement. The review also highlights the challenges associated with the variability in waste composition, logistical constraints, and consumer acceptance. The findings suggest that the utilization of agricultural wastes in fermented food production not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also offers economic and nutritional benefits. However, further research is needed to optimize fermentation processes, assess economic feasibility, and enhance consumer acceptance. This review provides valuable insights for researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers interested in promoting sustainable food production practices.

Abstract

This study examines the role of innovation in traditional food processing technologies to enhance the competitiveness of local products in the global market. A systematic literature review was conducted on 23 peer-reviewed articles indexed in the Scopus database to identify advancements, challenges, and opportunities in this field. The findings reveal that modern processing innovations, such as preservation techniques, automation, and sustainable practices, significantly improve product quality, scalability, and marketability. However, barriers such as high costs, skill gaps, and regulatory challenges hinder widespread adoption. The study emphasizes the importance of balancing technological innovation with cultural authenticity to ensure long-term sustainability. Recommendations include fostering collaborative efforts among producers, policymakers, and researchers to address adoption barriers and capitalize on emerging global consumer trends. This research contributes valuable insights into the integration of technology in traditional food industries, providing a roadmap for achieving competitiveness while preserving cultural identity.

Abstract

The utilization of natural additives in food processing has gained significant attention due to growing consumer demand for safe, nutritious, and clean-label products. This systematic review analyzed 30 studies from the Scopus database to evaluate the types, functions, and impacts of natural additives on food safety and nutritional value. Findings reveal that plant-based, animal-derived, and microbial-derived additives demonstrate strong antimicrobial, antioxidant, and nutrient-enhancing properties. Natural additives such as polyphenols, essential oils, and bioactive peptides effectively improve product safety by inhibiting microbial growth, reducing oxidation, and mitigating mycotoxins. They also contribute to nutritional fortification and functional health benefits. Despite challenges such as cost, regulatory compliance, and sensory acceptance, the adoption of natural additives presents significant opportunities for sustainable and health-focused food innovation. This review underscores the importance of further research to optimize extraction methods, develop synergistic formulations, and enhance consumer education.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of agroindustry, packaging technology, and local product branding on the value added to banana products in Makassar. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from 145 banana producers in Makassar, with responses measured using a Likert scale. The study employed Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3) for data analysis. The results revealed that agroindustry development, packaging technology, and local product branding all have significant positive impacts on the value added to banana products. Agroindustry showed a moderate positive relationship, while packaging technology had a stronger influence. Local product branding, although important, showed a weaker effect. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating advanced agroindustry practices, modern packaging technologies, and effective branding strategies to enhance the competitiveness and economic viability of banana products in Makassar. This research offers practical insights for stakeholders seeking to improve the value addition of agricultural products and provides a foundation for further studies in the agroindustry sector.
