Abstract

This study aimed to optimize the ultrasonic–cellulase extraction (UCE) method for recovering polyphenolic compounds with high antioxidant activity from pineapple peel waste. Pineapple peel is an abundant agro-industrial byproduct containing valuable phenolic compounds with potential applications in functional foods. The extraction process was optimized by varying several parameters, including the solvent-to-sample ratio (10–50 mL/g), enzyme concentration (5–25%), pH (3–7), temperature (30°C–70°C), ultrasonic amplitude (30–70%), and extraction time (30–150 min). The optimal conditions were achieved at a solvent-to-sample ratio of 50 mL/g, enzyme concentration of 15%, pH of 6, temperature of 50°C, ultrasonic amplitude of 70%, and extraction time of 120 min, yielding the highest total phenolic content of 37.80 ± 4.21 mg GAE/g. Comparative analysis showed that the UCE method produced higher polyphenolic content (28.04 ± 1.08 mg GAE/g) and stronger antioxidant activity (IC₅₀ = 9.27 µg/mL) than enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE) or ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) alone. These findings confirm the synergistic effect of ultrasonic cavitation and enzymatic hydrolysis, which enhances the release of bioactive compounds. This study highlights UCE as an effective, green, and energy-efficient technology for transforming pineapple peel waste into natural antioxidants, contributing to sustainable food processing and environmental conservation.

Abstract

East Kalimantan Province has great opportunities as a buffer for the IKN economy based on the utilization of marine potential. Eucheuma cottonii and Gracilaria sp. are the red seaweeds (Rhodophyta) most widely cultivated in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the proximate content in two types of red seaweed, namely E. cottonii (offshore cultivation) and Gracilaria sp. (pond cultivation) obtained from farmers in dry conditions cultivated around the waters of Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The results of the analysis showed significant differences between cultivation locations. Gracilaria sp. (pond cultivation) taken from Handil (HTK) and Babulu Laut (BALUKE) is considered potential because it has low water content (HTK 26.99 ± 0.02%), and has higher ash content (BALUKE 31.18 ± 0.41%), fat (BALUKE 0.36 ± 0.01%), protein (BALUKE 10.01 ± 0.01%), and crude fiber (HTK 1.90 ± 0.16%) compared to E. cottonii. These findings provide important information for the development of seaweed as a natural resource for the food and health industries. Keywords: Eucheuma cottonii, Food industry, Gracilaria sp., proximate content, Red seaweeds

Abstract

The use of conventional plastics, which are difficult to degrade, has caused serious environmental problems, necessitating alternatives in the form of biodegradable plastics (bioplastics). Biofilms are anticipated to address social issues in line with the 12th SDG goal, namely the management and reduction of packaging waste generated daily. By utilizing abundant local cassava starch, the produced biofilms are anticipated to possess good mechanical properties and low water absorption, making them a potential eco-friendly alternative for food packaging while supporting the use of local resources. This study aims to develop cassava starch-based biofilms as environmentally friendly packaging by optimizing the formulation of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and glycerol. The research employs cassava starch as the primary matrix, CMC as a filler to enhance mechanical properties, and glycerol as a plasticizer to improve the flexibility of the biofilm. The research methods include cassava starch extraction, mixing of materials with stirring and heating, and drying the gel into a biofilm. The biofilm's characteristics were analyzed through tensile strength and elongation tests. The results showed that the formula with a cassava starch concentration of 15 grams, 1% CMC, and 6% glycerol yielded the highest tensile strength value of 1.56 MPa, meeting the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) for edible films (≥ 0.392 MPa). The best elongation value reached 199.6%, demonstrating excellent flexibility according to JIS and Indonesian National Standards (SNI). This study indicates that the appropriate combination and concentration of materials can produce biofilms with the potential to replace conventional plastics, support environmental sustainability, and optimally utilize local resources

Abstract

Desa Sumber Berkah di kawasan Gunung Steling, Balikpapan Utara, memiliki potensi agraris tinggi dengan komoditas utama berupa melon. Namun, sebagian hasil panen dijual dalam bentuk segar, sementara buah yang tidak lolos sortasi sering dibuang, menyebabkan kerugian ekonomi dan penumpukan limbah organik. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan nilai tambah hasil pertanian melalui pengolahan melon menjadi selai serta pemanfaatan limbah organik menjadi kompos. Program dilaksanakan tahun 2025 dengan sasaran utama ibu-ibu di Kebun Melon Sumber Berkah. Metode kegiatan mencakup observasi lapangan, demonstrasi pembuatan selai, perbaikan alat pencacah, pelatihan pembuatan kompos, sosialisasi UMKM, dan evaluasi. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan keterampilan masyarakat dalam mengolah melon menjadi selai dengan tekstur lembut dan cita rasa seimbang. Perbaikan alat pencacah meningkatkan efektivitas pembuatan kompos yang memperbaiki kesuburan tanah dan mengurangi penggunaan pupuk kimia. Evaluasi menunjukkan tingkat kepuasan peserta minimal 80% dengan penilaian positif terhadap manfaat, kejelasan materi, dan relevansi kegiatan. Program ini berhasil meningkatkan nilai ekonomi hasil pertanian, mengurangi limbah, serta mendorong pembentukan UMKM berbasis produk lokal. Keterlibatan aktif masyarakat menjadikan kegiatan ini model potensial bagi pengembangan perkebunan berkelanjutan di wilayah lain.
