Abstract

The purpose of this article is to conduct a search for previous articles that will be used to find research gaps and look for internal and external factors. This research gap will be used as a basis for determining further research, namely related to sustainable competitiveness involving the community. For this purpose, an article search was conducted through the Scopus database for the last decade, namely from 2015 to 2024. The number of articles that met the required criteria was 48 articles and were used for the review results in this article. To see the relationship between the discussion of keywords in this article, the Vos Viewer tool was used. The Vos Viewer results show that there is no direct relationship between SMEs and community empowerment. In addition, the tourism sector has a role and close relationship with community empowerment compared to the industrial sector and internal and external factors were also found to have a role in sustainable competitiveness, 9 internal factors and 6 external factors were found that often appear. This article also provides recommendations related to research that may be carried out in the future.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between sustainable competitiveness and community empowerment in the context of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by conducting a systematic literature review using the PRISMA guidelines. The review identified relevant studies published between 2021 and 2025 in the Scopus database and analyzed them using the VOS Viewer bibliometrics tool. This study explores the role of empowerment in improving Sustainable Competitiveness. Findings show that the topics of sustainable competitiveness and community empowerment are still rarely discussed in an integrated manner, although both are significantly interrelated. The analysis identified six main dimensions that contribute to sustainable competitiveness in SMEs: Economic, Social, Environmental, Technological, Organizational, and Human Resources that correlate with sustainable competitiveness in SMEs. In various literature, sustainable competitiveness in SMEs is often discussed and has a close relationship with the use of technology in SMEs businesses. However, on the other hand, it also needs to be supported by the role of the community, which is included in the social dimension, which also plays an important role in SMEs that support business sustainability, foster cooperation networks, and improve the welfare of local communities. These findings provide a basis for insight and information to develop targeted business strategies and public policies aimed at enhancing sustainable competitiveness in SMEs through community engagement.

Abstract

Annona montana Macf. (mountain soursop), a member of the Annonaceae family, is a tropical fruit with promising yet underexplored bioactive potential. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the phytochemical profile and antioxidant activity of mountain soursop fruit extract. Bioactive compounds were identified using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), while antioxidant capacity was assessed through the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay under controlled conditions. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 80 compounds, including flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, and fatty acids, many of which are well documented for their pharmacological and functional properties. The extract demonstrated very strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 18.85 ppm, markedly surpassing several widely recognized natural antioxidants. These results highlight mountain soursop fruit as a valuable natural reservoir of bioactive metabolites with diverse biological functions. The findings further support its potential utilization in the development of functional foods, health-promoting formulations, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics, particularly those designed to mitigate oxidative stress and protect long-term skin health.

Abstract

Frozen fishery products in the cold supply chain require fast, accurate, and real-time quality monitoring systems. Ammonia gas (NH3) generated from protein degradation is a key spoilage indicator in these products. This study evaluates the colorimetric sensitivity of pH indicator dye solutions and colour labels upon exposure to ammonia gas (230–700 ppm) as part of efforts to develop colour-changing smart labels for food quality monitoring. Seven dye systems were screened as solutions: single dyes (BTB, MR, BCP, BPB) and combinations (AB = BTB+MR; CB = BCP+MR; DBA = BPB+MR+BTB). Based on screening results, five label formulations (BCP, MR, CB1 = BCP:MR 2:1, CB2 = BCP:MR 1:1, and BCP+PP = BCP:Phenolphthalein 2:1) were subsequently prepared on filter paper and evaluated. Parameters observed included total colour change (∆E), individual colour coordinates (L*, a*, b*), and pH change over 60 minutes. Results showed that BCP solution had the highest ∆E value (13.81), while MR solution exhibited the greatest pH increase (up to 6.37). For label applications, MR and CB2 provided the best overall performance, combining ∆E stability (R2 up to 0.88, MAPE <10%) with appropriate pH responsiveness. The BCP label showed the most rapid and pronounced visual colour change from the initial minutes of exposure. These findings demonstrate that the combination of ∆E sensitivity and pH response constitutes a crucial basis for selecting dyes for ammonia indicator labels in smart packaging systems. This study contributes a systematic, quantitative screening framework for dye selection, integrating colorimetric modelling and pH analysis for the development of NH3-responsive smart labels.
