Abstract

Bleaching Earth (BE), primarily derived from Bentonite, is widely used in the bleaching process of Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Its efficiency depends on the proportions of SiO₂ and Al₂O₃, which enable effective pigment absorption. This study evaluates the performance of unmodified Bentonite, nano SiO₂-modified Bentonite, and commercial BE in producing Bleached Palm Oil (BPO). The novelty lies in the nano SiO₂ modification, designed to enhance the structural properties and absorption capabilities of Bentonite. Characterization of BE was conducted using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), while BPO quality was assessed through parameters like moisture content, acid value, Free Fatty Acid (FFA) levels, (Deterioration of Bleachability Index (DOBI), and β-carotene concentration. The results showed that BPO processed with nano SiO₂-modified Bentonite had the lowest β-carotene concentration (443%) and a DOBI value of 1.453, demonstrating superior bleaching performance compared to unmodified and commercial BE. Other parameters, including FFA levels and moisture content, exhibited minimal variation. Color analysis revealed that BPO processed with nano SiO₂-modified Bentonite achieved a comparable color value (1.5/15) to commercial BE. These findings highlight the potential of nano SiO₂-modified bentonite for improving oil quality by reducing FFA and acid value while maintaining optimal moisture content, offering a novel and effective alternative to unmodified bentonite in oil refining.

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has reshaped global food logistics systems, particularly in strengthening halal certification integrity through enhanced transparency, operational efficiency, and traceability. The increasing global demand for halal products requires supply chains capable of ensuring end-to-end Sharia compliance. This review synthesizes findings from 20 international studies on the application of AI in halal food logistics using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, with data collected from reputable journals, conference proceedings, and scientific repositories. The results indicate that integrating AI with technologies such as blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning improves real-time supply chain monitoring, contamination risk prediction, and certification process automation. However, key challenges remain, including technological readiness, cross-border regulatory alignment, data security, and stakeholder integration. This study proposes a conceptual framework for AI implementation in global halal logistics and highlights future research directions to support sustainable and reliable halal supply chain systems.

Abstract

Among various sources of industrial water pollution, effluents from printing, dyeing, and textile processes represent one of the most significant environmental threats. These wastewaters contain numerous toxic and hazardous substances that are difficult to biodegrade. This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and adsorption performance of a Bentonite–Nano SiO₂ composite for the removal of Rhodamine B dye from aqueous solutions. The research was conducted in two main stages: the preparation of the Bentonite–Nano SiO₂ composite and the evaluation of its adsorption performance at various adsorbent concentrations and contact times. The composite was synthesized by dispersing nano-silica (15% w/w) into bentonite using ethanol as the solvent, followed by stirring, filtration, and drying processes. Characterization using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed successful modification. Adsorption tests showed that Rhodamine B removal efficiency increased with higher adsorbent concentration, reaching optimal conditions at 0.75% (w/v) with a removal efficiency of 90.2% after a contact time of 10–15 minutes. The enhanced adsorption performance was attributed to the larger surface area, higher porosity, and increased number of active sites resulting from the incorporation of nano-silica

Abstract

Fermentation in coffee provides new modulation to the taste and sensory profile of coffee, thereby enhancing its flavor quality. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) strains are used for fermentation in the wet process and have been proven to improve the overall flavor of the coffee. Therefore, in this study, coffee fermentation will be carried out using Lactococcus lactis subsp. to improve coffee flavor quality. The study begins with preparing the starter medium, starter culture, and fermentation. Subsequently, proximate analysis and a cupping test are conducted to assess the flavor profile of the coffee. The results of this study show that coffee fermentation can increase the number of LAB with longer fermentation times. Furthermore, proximate results indicate that fermented Robusta coffee contains 7.86% less fat compared to non-fermented Robusta coffee, which has 15.02% fat. The cupping test results for fermented Robusta coffee reveal a total score of 81, with the clean cup and uniformity aspects scoring 10. This total is higher than that of non-fermented Robusta coffee, thus proving that fermentation using Lactococcus lactis subsp. can improve coffee flavor quality.
