Abstract

Keamanan pangan merupakan aspek penting dalam industri makanan yang menuntut inovasi dalam teknologi kemasan. Studi ini mengkaji potensi zinc oxide (ZnO) dan calcium oxide (CaO) yang diperoleh dari limbah organik sebagai bahan pelapis kemasan pangan yang ramah lingkungan dan memiliki sifat antimikroba. ZnO menunjukkan aktivitas antimikroba melalui produksi spesies oksigen reaktif (ROS), yang dapat merusak dinding sel mikroorganisme patogen seperti Escherichia coli (E.Coli) dan Staphylococcus aureus. Sementara itu, CaO bekerja dengan meningkatkan pH lingkungan, menciptakan kondisi yang tidak mendukung pertumbuhan bakteri. Selain itu, metode sintesis ZnO dan CaO dari limbah organik, seperti cangkang telur, kulit pisang, dan limbah pertanian lainnya, menawarkan solusi berkelanjutan yang mengurangi pencemaran lingkungan dan mendukung ekonomi sirkular. Penerapan ZnO dan CaO dalam kemasan pangan berbasis biopolimer terbukti efektif dalam memperpanjang umur simpan produk dan menjaga kualitas makanan. Dengan demikian, pemanfaatan ZnO dan CaO dari limbah organik merupakan strategi inovatif dalam pengembangan kemasan pangan aktif yang lebih aman, efisien, dan ramah lingkungan

Abstract

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are crucial in supporting regional economic growth, particularly in Bukittinggi City, which is widely recognized as a prominent tourist destination and a center for traditional West Sumatran snacks. Among the leading products produced in the region is keripik balado (spicy cassava chips), which has become an iconic commodity with high market demand. This study examines the entrepreneurial characteristics of keripik balado SME owners and their relationship with business performance. A mixed-method research design was adopted, employing purposive sampling to select 35 respondents from the city’s main sales center. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation with SPSS and Microsoft Excel. The results reveal that specific entrepreneurial traits—namely hard work, innovativeness, and leadership—are significantly associated with business performance indicators, including sales volume, market expansion, and profitability. Conversely, self-confidence and independence did not demonstrate a statistically significant relationship with performance outcomes. These findings suggest that while multiple characteristics contribute to entrepreneurial success, certain traits exert a stronger influence. Therefore, strengthening these key attributes could be an effective strategy in SME development programs, particularly within the food industry sector in Bukittinggi and similar regional contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the entrepreneurial behaviors of MSME actors in the cassava processing sector in Padang City and their influence on business performance. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, with data collected through interviews and a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire distributed to cassava processing entrepreneurs. The results indicate that individual factors such as education, experience, and motivation are categorized as high and positively contribute to entrepreneurial behavior. Environmental factors such as input availability, training, capital assistance, promotion, and the cohesiveness among entrepreneurs also support business performance, although challenges remain in extension services, marketing, and business regulations. Overall, the business performance of cassava processing MSMEs in Padang City is classified as high, as reflected in market expansion, increased income, and competitive advantage. The synergy between strong individual characteristics and optimal environmental support is key to enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of cassava processing businesses in Padang City.

Abstract

The increasing environmental concerns associated with conventional plastic packaging have accelerated the global pursuit of sustainable alternatives. This review explored the innovative transformation of agricultural waste into eco-friendly food packaging materials, highlighting its potential to address both ecological and economic challenges. Agricultural residues—such as cereal by-products, sugar and starch crop wastes, fruit processing leftovers, and leaf waste—were rich in biopolymers like cellulose, starch, and pectin, making them suitable candidates for biodegradable packaging. Through advancements in green chemistry, biotechnology, and materials science, these wastes are now being repurposed into high-performance, compostable packaging solutions. Relevant literature was selected through a systematic search of peer-reviewed journal articles from databases such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, focusing on publications from the last five years that addressed agricultural waste utilization in ecofriendly food packaging. The review synthesizes recent research and technological breakthroughs in this field, showcasing applications ranging from rice husk-based films to cassava starch bioplastics. Furthermore, it examines the environmental benefits of reduced plastic pollution and landfill burden, alongside the economic advantages of waste valorization, rural job creation, and market competitiveness. By turning agricultural residues into valuable resources, this approach supports circular economy principles, enhances food system sustainability, and paves the way for a greener packaging industry.
