Abstract

The palm oil industry is one of Indonesia’s key plantation sectors, generating substantial amounts of both solid and liquid waste. This waste includes empty fruit bunches (EFB), shells, fibers, and palm oil mill effluent (POME). This literature review aims to examine the potential and recent technological advancements in utilizing oil palm waste as an environmentally friendly renewable energy source. A systematic literature review was conducted using journal articles, conference proceedings, and scientific reports published between 2018 and 2024. The findings indicate that oil palm waste can be converted into solid biomass (such as briquettes and pellets), biogas from POME, and raw materials for biodiesel and bioethanol. Technologies employed include anaerobic fermentation, pyrolysis, and gasification. Moreover, the utilization of this waste contributes to greenhouse gas emission reduction and enhances energy efficiency in plantation and processing facilities. However, technical and economic challenges remain major barriers to large-scale development. Collaboration among industry stakeholders, government, and academia is essential for the sustainable optimization of oil palm waste utilization. This study highlights that transforming waste into energy is a strategic step toward national energy resilience and sustainable development.

Abstract

Post-harvest handling is a crucial stage in maintaining the quality and market value of agricultural commodities, including chili peppers, which are one of the main products of the community in Baho Village. This study aims to analyze the role of farmer groups in improving the efficiency of chili post-harvest handling in Baho Village, as well as to identify factors that support or hinder the implementation of optimal post-harvest practices. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation with farmer group members and village officials. The results indicate that farmer groups play a significant role in coordinating harvesting, drying, sorting, and packaging processes. Through training activities and experience sharing, farmer groups enhance members’ skills in maintaining crop quality and reducing product damage. However, challenges include limited storage facilities, lack of access to modern post-harvest technology, and market price fluctuations that affect farmers’ motivation. With support from local government and extension agencies, optimizing the role of farmer groups is expected to improve post-harvest efficiency and the welfare of chili farmers in Baho Village.

Abstract

Dried salted anchovies are one of the fishery products widely marketed and consumed by the community; however, their quality may vary due to differences in salting, drying, handling, and storage practices. This study aimed to analyze the quality of dried salted anchovies marketed at Baruga Market, Kendari City, based on organoleptic characteristics, moisture content, and salt (NaCl) content. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach, with dried salted anchovy samples collected from vendors at Baruga Market. Organoleptic evaluation included texture, color, aroma, and physical appearance, while laboratory analyses included moisture determination using the gravimetric method and salt determination using argentometric titration. The results showed variations in organoleptic characteristics among samples, particularly in the degree of dryness, texture, color, and aroma. Moisture content ranged from 39.22% to 57.46%, with a mean of 49.52%, whereas salt content ranged from 4.38% to 12.38%, with a mean of 7.88%. Samples with lower moisture content descriptively exhibited firmer and drier textures than samples with higher moisture content. Analysis of the relationship between moisture and salt content showed a very weak and statistically nonsignificant correlation (r = 0.130; p = 0.807). Overall, the quality of dried salted anchovies marketed at Baruga Market, Kendari City, varied in terms of physical and chemical characteristics among the samples. These findings highlight the need for greater consistency in salting, drying, handling, and storage practices to maintain product quality.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the organoleptic characteristics and chemical properties of white bread substituted with mocaf (Modified Cassava Flour) and mung bean flour. Five formulations were evaluated: P0 (100% wheat flour), P1 (90% wheat flour + 5% mocaf + 5% mung bean flour), P2 (80% wheat flour + 10% mocaf + 10% mung bean flour), P3 (70% wheat flour + 15% mocaf + 15% mung bean flour), and P4 (60% wheat flour + 20% mocaf + 20% mung bean flour). Organoleptic evaluation was conducted using a five-point hedonic test involving 30 untrained panelists who assessed color, aroma, texture, and taste. Because the organoleptic data were ordinal and did not meet the normality assumption, the Kruskal–Wallis test was used at a 5% significance level, followed by the Mann–Whitney test for parameters showing significant differences. The best substitution treatment was determined based on the highest and most consistent acceptance across the organoleptic attributes and was subsequently subjected to laboratory analysis. P0 obtained the highest overall acceptance, while P1 was the most consistently accepted substitution treatment. P1 showed favorable acceptance for color (3.4), aroma (3.3), texture (3.2), and taste (3.3). Statistical analysis showed a significant effect of substitution on color (P < 0.05), while aroma (P > 0.05), texture (P > 0.05), and taste (P > 0.05) were not significantly affected. P1 was therefore selected as the best substitution formulation for chemical analysis. Laboratory results showed that P1 had a mean moisture content of 22.46% and protein content of 10.53%. The moisture content was below the maximum limit specified by the applicable Indonesian National Standard (SNI), while the protein content exceeded the reference value reported by the Directorate of Nutrition, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. These findings indicate that P1 provides a favorable balance between sensory acceptance and protein content and has potential for further development as a white bread formulation using local flour resources.

Abstract

Lowland rice farming in Motui District, North Konawe Regency plays a vital role in supporting regional food security but faces challenges from declining harvested areas, increasing production costs, and technical constraints that may reduce productivity and farmers' income. This study aimed to analyze farmers' income, evaluate the economic feasibility of rice farming using the Revenue Cost (R/C) Ratio, and assess its implications for sustainable rice production and its potential contribution to regional food security. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted involving 70 rice farmers. Data were analyzed using production cost, revenue, income, profit, and R/C Ratio analyses. The results revealed that the average production cost was Rp. 6,799,414 per planting season, consisting of explicit costs of Rp. 6,378,600 (93.81%) and implicit costs of Rp. 420,814 (6.19%). Average production reached 59 quintals per farmer, generating average revenue of Rp. 38,031,964, farm income of Rp. 31,653,364, and economic profit of Rp. 31,232,550 per planting season. The R/C Ratio of 5.59 indicates that lowland rice farming is financially feasible and profitable. The findings imply that improving input-use efficiency, strengthening farmer institutions, and supporting production infrastructure are needed to maintain farmers' income and the sustainability of rice production as one basis of regional food supply.
