Abstract

Harvesting coffee process by farmers generally executed entirety, resulting rainbow harvest. Coffee fermentation with yeast starter cultures Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y612, Candida parapsilosis Y207 and Torulospora delbrueckii Y594 was executed separately to determine the role of starter cultures on caffeine and robusta coffee taste at different maturity levels. The study was conducted at the Indonesian Industrial and Beverage Crops Research Institute in Sukabumi,, from June to November 2022. The experiment used a factorial complete randomized design. The first factor was the maturity level of the coffee and starter culture as the second factor. Fermentation was implemented for 48 hours inoculated with 108 cells/mL starter culture. The results showed that the temperature fluctuated, the pH value always decreased to 4.50 and T. delbrueckii was the starter culture with the highest activity during fermentation. Inoculum-fermented robusta coffee caffeine content was higher than non-inoculum. The lowest caffeine content was found in spontaneously fermented red fruit of 1.39%, while the highest caffeine content was produced by red fruit samples inoculated with C. parapsilosis of 2.7%. Robusta coffee with S. cerevisiae inoculation brought the best taste of robusta coffee with 82.10%, there was no significant difference between the red harvest coffee fruit and the fermented rainbow color with a starter culture. Keywords: Caffeine, Harvest, Inoculation, Maturity level, Starter cultures

Abstract

This research aimed to build a model for estimating the shelf life of dried chilies in vacuum packaging stored at any storage temperature. The shelf-life estimation of dried red chilies was carried out based on the change rate of dried chilies quality parameters using the ASLT (Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing) method with the Arrhenius approach. The shelf-life estimation using the ASLT method was carried out by conditioning the storage room, which could accelerate the degradation reaction, stored at temperatures above room temperature. Prior to storage, red chilies were dried until their moisture content reaches 10%. Then it was packaged in vacuum packaging made of PE (polyethylene) plastic and stored at 35°C. During the storage period, the observation was conducted on some quality parameters, namely moisture content, color, and vitamin C content. The same experiments were also carried out at 40°C, 45°C, and 50°C to obtain different rate constant values. The shelf-life estimation results from the Arrhenius equation model were selected based on the critical parameter, in this study the critical parameter was the decrease of vitamin C content. The shelf life of dried red chilies that were packed in vacuum stored at room temperature (25°C) could maintain its quality up to 365 days. Keywords:  Arrhenius,  ASLT,  Red chili,  Vacuum packaging,  Shelf life,

Abstract

Fluorescence imaging has developed as a promising non-invasive method for identifying aflatoxin contamination in agricultural commodities, especially corn kernels. This paper examines current improvements in fluorescence imaging technologies, highlighting its potential to improve food safety through swift and precise detection of mycotoxins. The paper examines the basics of fluorescence, the necessary setup for optimal imaging, and the issues related to background fluorescence interference, sensitivity, and the construction of calibration models. Although there are some limitations, fluorescence imaging presents considerable advantages, such as cost-efficiency and the capacity to obtain concurrent spectral and spatial data. Proposed future research objectives include the validation of imaging systems using naturally contaminated samples, the optimization of imaging parameters, and the integration of machine learning techniques to enhance data processing. By overcoming existing constraints and utilizing technical progress, fluorescence imaging can serve as an essential instrument in the detection of aflatoxin contamination, hence enhancing food safety. Keywords: Aflatoxin, Detection, Fluorescence imaging, Food safety, Machine learning.

Abstract

Broccoli is a vegetable with high economic value, but it is also a highly perishable agricultural product after harvest. One method to extend its shelf life is hydrocooling, which involves cooling the product immediately after harvest to reduce the respiration rate, a key factor in quality degradation during storage. This study aimed to determine the optimal temperature and duration of hydrocooling to maintain the quality of fresh broccoli and to observe quality changes during storage. Hydrocooling was applied by immersing broccoli in cold water for 10 and 20 minutes, followed by storage at room temperature and low temperature. Quality observations were conducted for 7 days at room temperature and 16 days under chilled storage (5°C). The quality parameters observed included respiration rate, moisture content, weight loss, microbial contamination, color, and vitamin C content. Results showed that under room temperature storage, there was no significant difference between broccoli with and without hydrocooling; both maintained their quality only up to 4 days. However, the combination of hydrocooling and chilled storage preserved broccoli quality up to 14 days, while the control (without hydrocooling) only lasted until day 10. Therefore, hydrocooling is effective when combined with low-temperature storage, helping to maintain postharvest freshness and extend the shelf life of broccoli.

Abstract

The determination of robusta coffee roast levels is commonly conducted through visual assessment, which is inherently subjective and prone to inconsistency due to overlapping visual characteristics between adjacent roasting stages. On the other side, objective measurement equipment is often costly and not easily accessible. This study addresses this problem by proposing a digital image–based classification method for five robusta coffee roast levels (green, light, medium, medium-dark, and dark). Parameters included color feature extraction from RGB (Red, Green, Blue), HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value), and shape features including area, perimeter, and circularity are extracted from captured images. A hybrid Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifier with Manhattan distance is employed to enhance class separability and improve classification accuracy. Model performance was evaluated using a confusion matrix (precision, accuracy, recall and F-1 score). Results showed that by integrating multiple visual features and employing a hybrid classification strategy, the proposed approach was able to improve the classification of Robusta coffee roasting levels. The evaluation using a 90:10 data split with an optimal k = 16 resulted in the highest accuracy of 83%.

Abstract

Nutmeg shells are categorized as hardwood containing carbon such as cellulose and lignin, making them ideal for use as a material for producing activated charcoal. Activated charcoal can be used as an additive to absorb ethylene, O₂, CO₂, and H₂O to slow down fruit ripening. This study was conducted to produce and characterize ethylene absorbers made primarily from Fakfak nutmeg shells and to determine the effectiveness of ethylene absorbers in delaying the ripening of climacteric fruits. Ethylene adsorbents were produced using a pyrolysis method followed by chemical activation. Characterization of surface area and functional groups was performed through SEM and BET tests, as well as FT-IR tests. To ensure the effectiveness of the absorption capacity, the chemical-physical properties were characterized in accordance with Standard of Indonesia and gas chromatography. The results of the activated charcoal test showed a change in the surface area from 298.211 m²/g to 335.198 (BET). FT-IR test results showed the formation of functional groups, namely -OH, C=C, CO₂, C-H, and C-O groups. GC test results showed 90.5% ethylene absorption. The application of nutmeg shell adsorbent on bananas using sealed LDPE plastic packaging showed that nutmeg shell adsorbent was able to maintain banana quality up to 15 days, although there was no significant difference between treatments (p > 0.05).
