Abstract

Starch-based bioplastics are safe for the environment. One source of starch that can be used is durian seed flour and cassava flour. Bioplastics made from starch have several disadvantages, so they need to be supported. One material that can be used for support is microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). This study aimed to determine the effect of mixing of durian seeds starch with cassava starch on the characteristic of bioplastic supported by MCC. This study used a Completely Randomize Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replications. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at 5% level. The treatment in this study was the mixing durian seeds starch with cassava starch (0%:100%, 20%:80%, 30%:70%, 40:60%, 50%:50%). The results showed that mixing durian seed starch with cassava starch significantly affected thickness and elongation. Based on the analysis of bioplastic characteristics, the best bioplastics were found in treatment E (addition of durian seed starch 50%: cassava starch 50%) with a thickness of 0.27 mm, tensile strength value of 7.17%, elongation of 0.13% and water absorption 91.46%.

Abstract

This study explores the potential of agroecology in developing a sustainable sugar palm agroindustry in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) is a vital economic resource, yet its development faces limited technology, traditional management practices, and low-quality seed availability. The research aims to analyze the demographic characteristics influencing the adoption of agroecological principles among sugar palm craftsmen and assess the agroindustry's sustainability and productivity. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews with 100 respondents, including sugar palm farmers and craftsmen, alongside secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency. The findings reveal that most artisans are in the productive age group, with low formal education but significant practical experience. While 65% of respondents practice crop diversification, challenges remain in soil conservation and adopting environmentally friendly technologies. The study forecasts increased palm sugar production, projecting growth from 664.4 tons in 2022 to 790.8 tons by 2026, indicating potential for enhanced productivity. Integrating traditional knowledge with modern agroecological practices is essential for improving sustainability and competitiveness in the sugar palm agroindustry. Training programs that respect traditional values while promoting sustainable practices are necessary to empower artisans and enhance regional food security. This research underscores the importance of community collaboration among farmers, government, and research institutions to foster a more resilient and equitable agroecological system.

Abstract

Abstract Portulaca oleracea (purslane) is a plant rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and ascorbic acid, which have great potential as functional ingredients in food products. This study aimed to determine the effect of adding purslane extract on the chemical and microbiological characteristics of probiotic ice cream containing Lactobacillus plantarum. The experiment used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments: P0 (0%), P1 (1%), P2 (2%), and P3 (3%) purslane extract, each with three replications. Parameters observed included moisture, fat, fiber, protein, antioxidant activity, pH, and L. plantarum population. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The results showed that the addition of purslane extract significantly affected fat, fiber, protein, antioxidant activity, and L. plantarum population (p<0.05), but had no significant effect on moisture content and pH. Fiber content increased from 2.21% (P0) to 3.53% (P3), antioxidant activity from 32.86% to 42.10%, and L. plantarum population from 0 to 5.26 log CFU/g, while fat content decreased from 3.45% to 2.41%. The increase in fiber and antioxidant activity indicated that purslane extract enhanced the functional value of ice cream, while the growth of L. plantarum suggested a prebiotic effect of purslane-derived dietary fiber. It can be concluded that the addition of up to 3% purslane extract produced probiotic ice cream with the best chemical and microbiological characteristics, showing strong potential as a natural functional food with health benefits, particularly through enhanced antioxidant activity and probiotic viability.

Abstract

Flexible polyurethane foams is the most produced foam compared to other types of polyurethane foams. The raw material for polyurethane foams is usually derived from petroleum polyols. The availability of petroleum which is getting thinner needs to be sought alternative raw materials for polyurethane foams from vegetable polyols (biopolyols). The relatively high productivity of palm oil causes the potential of palm oil to be used as raw material for flexible polyurethane foams compared to other vegetable oils. Various formulations and modifications that have been made in synthesizing flexible polyurethane foams from various types of biopolyols are aimed at increasing the usability and to produce flexible polyurethane foams with characteristics close to polyols made from petroleum-based foams.Busa poliuretan fleksibel merupakan busa yang paling banyak diproduksi dibanding dengan jenis busa poliuretan yang lain. Bahan baku busa poliuretan biasanya berasal dari poliol minyak bumi. Semakin berkurangnya ketersediaan  minyak bumi,  maka perlu dicari alternatif  bahan baku busa poliuretan dari poliol nabati (biopoliol). Produktivitas kelapa sawit yang cukup tinggi menyebabkan minyak kelapa sawit cukup potensi digunakan sebagai bahan baku busa poliuretan dibandingkan dengan minyak nabati lain. Berbagai formulasi dan modifikasi yang telah dilakukan dalam mensintesis busa poliuretan fleksibel  dari berbagai jenis biopoliol  bertujuan untuk meningkatkan daya guna dan untuk menghasilkan busa poliuretan fleksibel dengan karakteristik mendekati busa berbahan baku poliol dari minyak  bumi.

Abstract

This review paper examines the critical role of language as a repository for indigenous agricultural knowledge, with specific focus on the traditional Minangkabau agricultural lexicon of West Sumatra, Indonesia. Drawing upon interdisciplinary perspectives from ethnolinguistics, ethnobotany, and cultural anthropology, this study synthesizes existing literature to demonstrate how agricultural terminology encodes generations of ecological wisdom, sustainable farming practices, and cultural values. The Minangkabau people, renowned for their matrilineal social system and strong cultural traditions, have developed a rich vocabulary related to rice cultivation, agroforestry, and land management that represents an invaluable repository of traditional ecological knowledge. This review identifies the structural characteristics of the agricultural lexicon, examines its role in transmitting indigenous knowledge across generations, and discusses the threats posed by modernization and language shift. The findings underscore the urgent need for documentation and revitalization efforts to preserve this linguistic heritage as a foundation for sustainable agricultural development and biocultural diversity conservation.

Abstract

Palm sugar (Arenga pinnata Merr.) is a natural sweetener with the potential to be developed as an alternative to white sugar due to its distinctive sensory characteristics and its reported lower glycemic index. However, quantitative data on the glycemic index of various forms of palm sugar products remain limited. This study aims to analyze the in vitro glycemic index of various palm sugar products, namely liquid sugar, molded sugar, and granulated palm sugar, and to compare them with white sugar as a reference. Additionally, the study also evaluates the chemical characteristics (moisture content and ash content) and organoleptic properties of each product. The glycemic index determination was performed using an in vitro method based on enzymatic digestion simulation and the calculation of the area under the curve (AUC) of glucose release, with glucose serving as the reference food. The results of the study indicate that all palm sugar products have a low glycemic index, namely 39 for liquid sugar, 37 for molded sugar, and 35 for granulated palm sugar, while white sugar has a moderate glycemic index of 60. The differences in glycemic index values are related to variations in sugar composition, mineral content, and the physical characteristics of each product. Organoleptic testing showed that palm sugar, particularly granulated palm sugar, received good acceptance for its color, aroma, taste, and texture. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that palm sugar has the potential to serve as a low-glycemic index alternative sweetener, supporting the development of downstream palm sugar products and the diversification of healthier food options.

Abstract

The Aur Serumpun farmer group is one of the growing farmer groups with their corn farming business. This farmer group is in Simpang Alahan Mati District, Kab. Pasaman, West Sumatra Province. So far, farmers only sell corn that has been dried directly. The processing of corn is a basic need for members of farmer groups in order to have product diversification which can ultimately increase the economy of these farmers. In the community service activities that were carried out previously (in 2019), processed products from corn were introduced, namely tortilla chips. In the 2020-2022 activities, business development will be carried out from Aur Serumpun farmer groups in accordance with the policy directions set by the members of the farmer groups themselves. Therefore, a discussion group forum was held and the signing of a cooperation agreement regarding the study of the prospects for producing tortilla chips which would be carried out by the aur allied farmer groups. The development of food product production of trotilla chips is an independent initiative from farmer groups that can collaborate with academics in the Department of Agricultural Product Technology, Andalas University. It was agreed from the discussion group forum that the head of the farmer group would conduct a study and socialize to other members of the farmer group regarding alternative product diversification of the commonly produced corn commodity. Further evaluation of the prospects for the implementation of the tortilla chips production process will be carried out next year.

Abstract

This study explores the potential of educational agricultural tourism (edu-agri-tourism) through rice field landscapes in Sapa-Hanoi, Vietnam, and Medan, Indonesia. The research highlights how traditional rice farming systems, particularly the terraced paddy fields in Sapa and the highland rice fields on the outskirts of Medan, function as valuable cultural assets and educational tourism destinations. Using a comparative qualitative approach, the study examines local knowledge, eco-tourism practices, and youth motivation in both regions. Sapa’s terraced rice fields demonstrate well-developed tourism programs that successfully combine ethnic traditions with sustainable agricultural practices. In contrast, Medan possesses strong natural potential but still lacks effective integration between its agricultural resources and tourism sector. The findings underline the importance of participatory planning, community capacity building, and the development of eco-services to enhance food security, educational opportunities, and sustainable tourism experiences through rice field tourism in both areas.
