Abstract

Fruit leather is a processed food product from pulp of fruit flesh that has been crushed with the addition of stabilizer then dried in a mold using an oven, so as to form a thin sheet that can be rolled up. The raw material for fruit leather can come from fruits such as nutmeg flesh. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of fruit leather from nutmeg flesh with a variation of 0.3% hydrocolloid gel (CMC, pectin and carrageenan). Parameters observed included color, texture, water content, and pH. The results showed that the physical characteristics of the fruit leather of nutmeg flesh with the addition of carrageenan had a texture value of 0.12 kg/mm2 and a color with an *L value of 27.45; the value of *a is 6.03; the value of *b is 13.20. While the chemical characteristics have a water content value of 22.37% and a pH of 3.56. The addition of CMC has a texture value of 0.28 kg/mm2 and a color value with a *L value of 30.78; the value of *a is 5.94; the value of *b is 12.41. While the chemical characteristics have a water content value of 19.03% and a pH of 3.51.

Abstract

TOEFL has played a very important role in predicting students’ academic performance. However, very limited research has specifically addressed the relationship between the TOEFL reading section and students’ critical reading comprehension, as most existing studies predominantly focused on the correlation between overall TOEFL scores and students’ academic performance in general, such as GPA. This research examined the correlation between TOEFL reading score and critical reading comprehension of TBI students at UIN Datokarama Palu. A quantitative approach through correlational design was employed with 30 students as participants. Data were collected by using TOEFL reading test and GPA of critical reading comprehension course of students. Pearson product moment correlation was used to analyze the data. The results revealed a significant positive moderate correlation (r = 0.587, p = 0.01) between two variables. Reflecting that as one variable increases, the other variables tend to increase as well with a meaningful but not perfectly linear relationship. This indicates that students’ proficiency in the TOEFL reading section not only reflects their reading ability in English generally, but also correlates with their capacity to understand, analyze, interpret, and evaluate information in the reading text critically. By integrating TOEFL reading test into students’ critical reading exercises, educators can strengthen students’ critical reading comprehension that emphasizes determining main idea, identifying arguments, and evaluating evidences.

Abstract

The research aimed to determine whether verbal-linguistic intelligence significantly influences students’ writing performance. Nineteen students from the TBIG 2 class of 2024 participated in the study. The students’ verbal-linguistic intelligence was measured using a questionnaire, while their writing scores were obtained from the course lecturer. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient with SPSS version 27. The analysis revealed a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.654 with a significance value (p) of 0.002. These results indicate a strong positive correlation, meaning students with higher verbal-linguistic intelligence tend to perform better in writing tasks. The findings support Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences, emphasizing the contribution of verbal-linguistic intelligence to students’ language skills, particularly in expressing ideas effectively in written form. Based on the statistical evidence, the study concludes that verbal-linguistic intelligence has a significant correlation with the writing ability of EFL students at UIN Datokarama Palu.
