Abstract

ABSTRACT. The development of food industry in Indonesia has increased the demand and domestic consumption of pectin. Cocoa skin is potentially used to produce pectin as the raw material of industry. This study aimed to determine the effect of treatments on raw material, the medium and pH extraction to the characteristics of the pectin produced from cocoa skin, and to analyse the economic feasibility of pectin production from cocoa skin. Production was started with pectin extraction using citric acid solvent to some variables : 1) type of raw material (fresh and dried), 2) extraction time (60 and 90 minutes), and 3) pH of the extraction (2.5 and 3.5), then was continued by clotting with 95% ethanol, washing and drying of pectin. Economic analysis was done through analysis of break-even point (BEP) and the return cost ratio (RCR) to determine the level of benefits and feasibility of cocoa skin utilization. The results showed that the research treatments produced 5.6% - 6.7% pectin from initial weight of cocoa skin used, and the moisture content was 8.7% - 9.58%. Total revenue of the business is IDR 1.340.000/ month with a total production cost of IDR 1.000.300/ month. RCR value of 1.34 and BEP quantity of 2 kg showed that cocoa skin processing industry profitable to be implemented.

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Tsunami Aceh was the most terrific disaster in 40 years. The estimation of total losses were US$ 210 million, concentrated in two main sectors: infrastructure and housing and the productive sector. Agriculture showed the largest share of damage in productive sector, needs more attention to be rehabilitated in order to stimulate economic activity. This research aim to evaluate the progress of agricultural land rehabilitation in providing land to be cultivated by the farmer. Research conducted in Aceh Besar District by using survey methods. Research results showed that 77% of total farmland damaged due to tsunami, but the availability of lowland paddy field after tsunami only reached 16,7% from total farmland before tsunami. There were no significant difference between the rehabilitation processes conducted in low and high level of damaged based on Mann Whitney test. There was a lack of access to the farmland due to a limitation in farmland rehabilitation. This condition will lead to the difficulties of the community to back to their previous activity as a farmer since the majority occupation of affected communities were in agriculture field.
