Abstract

The increasing challenges faced by cocoa farmers in Kampung Cokelat Senare, particularly the decline in cocoa yields since 2020, have necessitated innovative interventions. This community service initiative focuses on improving cocoa processing techniques through food technology to enhance the quality and safety of locally produced chocolate. Expert involvement facilitates effective knowledge exchange essential for revitalizing the local cocoa industry. The primary objective of this initiative is to educate farmers on modern cocoa processing methods and food safety protocols to improve chocolate quality and promote sustainable production. The methodology includes structured workshops led by experts, including Prof. Wan Rosli Bin Wan Ishak, emphasizing optimized cocoa roasting techniques and hygienic processing practices. These activities are complemented by practical demonstrations and field visits to local cocoa processing facilities, enabling direct application of newly acquired knowledge. The initiative produced several notable outcomes. Farmers demonstrated improved understanding of cocoa roasting parameters, resulting in enhanced chocolate flavor profiles. In addition, improved safety measures during processing contributed to reduced aflatoxin contamination, addressing critical food safety concerns. The interactive workshop format increased participant engagement and encouraged adoption of modern techniques. Survey results indicated a positive change in farmers’ attitudes toward innovation and a commitment to applying these methods. Overall, this initiative has positioned the community toward more sustainable cocoa production, with expected improvements in product quality and economic resilience. The program highlights the importance of education, collaboration, and technology transfer in strengthening local cocoa-based industries.

Abstract

This community service initiative focused on the sustainable management and valorization of Kappaphycus alvarezii waste in Ekas Buana Village, specifically within the Merah Putih Fishing Camp engaging local fishermen from Paser Puteh, under the leadership of Mr. M. Toni. This initiative, coordinated by Fatepa and led by Dr. Reza Kusuma Nurrohman, was conducted on January 22, 2026, and featured contributions from notable experts including Prof. Wan Rosli Bin Wan Ishak from Universiti Sains Malaysia and Assoc. Prof. ChM. Dr. Haslina Ahmad from Universiti Putra Malaysia. The discussions included the potential of K. alvarezii as a sustainable source of bioactive compounds for functional food innovation, emphasizing riboflavin extracts and their health benefits. This initiative aimed at uplifting local fishing communities by demonstrating the economic viability of seaweed waste and its integration into sustainable agricultural practices. The findings align with cooperative strategies fostering dual benefits: environmental sustainability through waste valorization and economic advancement through the creation of high-value products.

Abstract

Green coffee beans are also called unroasted coffee beans. The chemical composition of green coffee beans plays a vital role in determining the final product’s aroma. The main objective of this research was to characterize the chemical properties of Arabica and Robusta green coffee beans grown in different regions of Geopark Rinjani, Lombok Island, Indonesia. The water, ash, protein, carbohydrate, total solids, and caffeine contents, total acidity, and pH were determined. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance. The results revealed significant differences in the moisture contents of Arabica beans from Sembalun, Sajang, and Sapit and Robusta beans from Rempek, Selelos, and Genggelang. Additionally, the ash contents of Arabica Sajang and Arabica Sapit showed notable differences compared to other samples. However, the total fat contents of Arabica Sajang, Arabica Sapit, Robusta Rempek, and Robusta Genggelang did not exhibit significant variations. On the other hand, significant differences were observed in the protein contents of all samples, particularly between Arabica Sembalun and Arabica Sapit, compared to Arabica Sajang, Robusta Rempek, Robusta Genggelang, and Robusta Selelos. Robusta coffee beans appeared to have a slightly lower pH than Arabica beans. The latter exhibited consistent acidity in the range of 0.20–0.21, whereas the former showed higher acidity levels (0.23–0.25). Arabica beans had a lower caffeine content, averaging 1.09%, whereas Robusta beans exhibited an average caffeine content of 2.09%. This research provides valuable insights into the chemical composition of green coffee beans from different species and locations within Geopark Rinjani, contributing to a better understanding of the factors influencing the aroma and quality of coffee.
