Abstract

Shallots (Allium cepa L.) is a plant that requires sufficient water and is susceptible to drought stress. The use of biofertilizer is employed because it contains microorganisms to enhance nutrient availability and assist plant growth under abiotic stress. The biofertilizer used in this study is the Siswanti formula (EnWie Biofertilizer) which contains Bacillus sp., Lactobacillus sp., Saccharomyces sp., Streptomyces sp., Pseudomonas, Azospirillum, Azotobacter, Rhizobium and Trichoderma sp. This study aims to analyze the physiological and anatomical responses of shallot bulbs following the application of biofertilizer under drought stress. The doses of biofertilizer used were 10 L/ha, 15 L/ha, and 20 L/ha with field capacity levels of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Parameters tested included vitamin C content, starch content, cortex thickness anatomy and dry weight of shallot roots. The method used to determine the vitamin C content was UV-VIS spectrophotometry, while the starch content research used the Nelson-Smogy method. The method used in making shallot root specimens was the embedding method. The results of this study showed that the application of biofertilizer affects the physiology and anatomy of Allium cepa L. under drought stress. The application of 15 L/ha biofertilizer increases vitamin C content, starch content, and cortex thickness. Meanwhile, 10 L/ha biofertilizer increases root dry weight.

Abstract

Gummy candies have emerged as one of the most popular dosage forms for multivitamins and nutraceutical supplements, including those for brain health. Gelatin is the primary gelling agent used to achieve the gummy texture; however, the influence of different gelatin sources on the physicochemical properties of gummies has not been systematically examined. This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics of gummies prepared with porcine, bovine, and fish gelatin. The gummies were evaluated for mechanical properties (gumminess, hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, adhesiveness, and stringiness), color, water activity, antioxidant activity, and protein content. Additionally, the effects of intentional adulteration—specifically the addition of porcine gelatin to fish or bovine gelatin—were assessed. The results showed that gumminess, hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness were comparable across different gelatin sources, whereas adhesiveness and stringiness were highly sensitive to source variation. Notably, adulteration with porcine gelatin significantly altered those two parameters. These findings underscored the importance of verifying gelatin origin in gummy formulations, as source-related variations and gelatin adulteration could have a direct impact on product quality and performance.
