Abstract

Graphical Abstract   Highlights of Research The chitosan was successfully produced from lobster shells Panulirus homarus. The characteristics and quality of chitosan from lobster shells Panulirus homarus were observed. The anti-fungal activity of chitosan was assessed. Chitosan enhances the water stability of lobster pellets.       Abstract Tropical rock lobster aquaculture is a lucrative industry that is currently limited by the lack of appropriate formulated feed. Its nocturnal, benthic feeding behavior necessitates a water-stable feed that maintains integrity under tropical marine conditions without degrading. Chitosan, a biopolymer derived from lobster (Panulirus homarus) shells, has potential applications in aquaculture as an antifungal agent and feed binder. We report on the characteristics of chitosan extracted from the exoskeleton of spiny lobsters (Panulirus homarus), including its effect on fungal activity and water stability of pellets. Chitosan was produced through three main steps: deproteination, demineralization, and deacetylation. The resulting chitosan was characterized through crude composition (AOAC methods), FTIR spectra, and scanning electron microscope (SEM), while antifungal activity was assessed through in vitro assays. Chitosan was used to coat lobster feed pellets by immersion method at different concentrations (0%, 0,5%, 1%, 1,5%, and 2%), and its impact on pellet water stability was assessed. There were three replications in fungal activity and water stability test. The yield of chitosan was 5.9 ± 0.01% of the total shell mass, with 96.99% ± 0.01 degree of deacetylation (DD). The resulting product contained 5.94 ± 0.07% moisture, 36.72 ± 0.05% ash and 2.73 ± 0.08% nitrogen. Chitosan morphology was characterized as an irregular shape with dimensions ranging from 157 to 391 µm, with a combination of striated surface textures. Increasing concentration of chitosan increased water stability of pellets up to 1.5% inclusion, while 0.5% optimized Fusarium sp. inhibition. These findings suggest that chitosan from lobster shells can be sustainably utilized to enhance feed quality, reducing fungal contamination and nutrient leaching in aquaculture systems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of brand image on repurchase intention of Le Minerale products in Semarang, emphasizing the role of brand equity as a mediator. Using quantitative analysis methods and Smart PLS, the results of the study show that brand image has a positive and significant influence on repurchase intentions. In addition, brand equity was shown to serve as a significant mediator in the relationship between brand image and repurchase intention. These findings confirm that strengthening brand image not only directly affects repurchase intentions but also through increasing brand equity. This research provides important insights for companies in formulating effective marketing strategies to increase product repurchase intentions.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Kehamilan risiko tinggi meningkatkan terjadinya bayi lahir premature, Bayi Berat Lahir Rendah (BBLR), abortus, partus lama, Hemorrhagic Post Partum (HPP), eklamsi atau preeklamsi, Intrauterin Fetal Death (IUFD), dan lain sebagainya bahkan kematian. Upaya peningkatan kesehatan ibu dan anak serta penurunan angka kematian ibu dan angka kematian bayi diperlukan kerja sama oleh berbagai sektor, seperti Antenatal Care terpadu, kelas ibu hamil, kolaborasi dengan ahli gizi, dan dokter kandungan. Tujuan: Optimalisasi pengetahuan ibu hamil tentang kehamilan risiko tinggi. Metode: Pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan memberikan edukasi tentang kehamilan risiko tinggi dalam bentuk kuesioner pre-test, pemberian edukasi, dan post-test. Edukasi ini diikuti oleh 20 ibu hamil di Pustu Kelompang Gubug Kecamatan Tambak Kabupaten Gresik kemudian dianalisis menggunakan distribusi frekuensi. Hasil: Pengetahuan ibu hamil saat pretest dalam kategori baik yaitu 4 ibu hamil (20%) dan saat posttest 16 ibu hamil (80%) dengan pengetahuan baik. Kesimpulan: Pengetahuan ibu hamil tentang risiko tinggi kehamilan dapat ditingkatkan dengan seringnya diberikan eduksi. Diharapkan dengan adanya penyuluhan ini ibu hamil dapat mengerti pencegahan, faktor risiko, atau deteksi dini kehamilan risiko tinggi.
