Abstract

CV Agrindo Suprafood as one of the largest suppliers of nata de coco in Yogyakarta is only able to meet 40% of market demand due to the limitations of coconut water. An alternative strategy to tackle this problem is by looking for coconut water substitute as raw material for the production of nata. The purpose of this study was to analyze the potential of cassava and glucose syrup as raw material alternative of nata and its feasibility on an industrial scale . Formulation of nata is performed on a pilot plant scale with cassava and glucose syrup as raw material. Cassava glucose and glucose syrup were separately used as a growth medium of Acetobacter xylinum for the production of nata. The physical, chemical, and sensory evaluation as well as technical and financial feasibility analysis were conducted on the nata product. The best formula for production of nata de cassava and nata de glucose was obtained by a combination of glucose, glucose syrup, coconut water, ZA,vinegar, and acetic acid. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that both of nata production were industrially-feasible in terms of both technical and financial analysis. However, based on the financial analysis, nata de glucose was more prospective than nata de cassava.

Abstract

Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in the economy of Indonesia. It contributed to the 21.20% of national total economy. Global competition is a challenge and an opportunity for SMEs including agroindustry sector. Therefore, it is needed for strengthening their competitiveness. In the midst of this effort, the raising concern about environment issue has increased. This research aims to determine the alternatives or options in production aspect based on lean and green for small-scale crackers industry. Sustainable Value Stream Mapping (SVSM) was applied to describe the production condition and identify wastes from lean and green point of view. Furthermore, Value Stream Analysis Tools (VALSAT) and Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) were used to analyze waste throughout the production activity. The results show that the small-scale cracker industry has already implemented synergy of lean and green, however some alternatives for reducing lead time and waste are needed such as demand forecasting and improvement of working methods

Abstract

The natural ripening of ambon kuning, a typical banana widely consumed in Indonesia, tends to produce a non-uniform yellowish peel color of the fruits. Some degreening techniques using calcium carbide or ethepon, although improving the peel color appearance, may pose a safety risk compared to ethylene degreening, a technique using ethylene gas, a gas naturally produced by the fruit. This study aimed to determine the effect of ethylene degreening on changes in peel color, physical quality, and chemical content of ambon kuning and determine the combination of treatment that produces the best results. Taguchi design, with two levels for each of the three treatment factors (ethylene gas concentrations of 185.2 and 277.8 ppm, storage temperatures of 16±1 and 29±1 °C, and gas exposure time of 48 and 72 hours) was applied to banana samples stored in a hermetic bag in a temperature-controlled container. Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) was applied to get the best results considering multiple performance measures: peel color (measured as lightness L*-, green -a*-, and yellow b*-values), hardness of peel and pulp, total dissolved solids, total chlorophyll, and total carotenoids contents. The best results were obtained when degreening was carried out with a gas concentration of 185.2 ppm at a storage temperature of 16±1 °C for 48 hours.

Abstract

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a fruit widely known by the people of Indonesia, including Yogyakarta Province, which has several variants such as C. melo var reticulatus, C. melo var. inodorus, and C. melo var. catalupensis. These variants have different characteristics that can be distinguished by color, aroma, peel texture, as well as their respective markets. To find out consumers’ preferences for melon, the conjoint analysis method is used. The results showed that consumers in traditional retail preferred melons with small size, orange flesh, strong aroma, very sweet taste, slightly meshy peel texture, and crunchy flesh texture. Meanwhile, in modern retail, they prefer variants with a large size, green flesh, strong aroma, very sweet taste, non-meshy peel texture, and crunchy flesh texture. Sky Rocket, Glamor, Golden Langkawi, and Mai 119 variants are suitable for traditional and modern retail. There are also other suitable variants for traditional retail, namely Cantaloupe and Roc Melon, while Honey Globe and Action 434 are suitable for modern retail.
