Abstract

This study examines the innovative application of banana peel flour as a partial substitute for wheat flour in brownie production, with a focus on its nutritional benefits and sensory impact. As banana peels are a commonly discarded agricultural by-product despite their rich composition of dietary fiber, antioxidants, and minerals, their transformation into flour presents a valuable approach to waste reduction and functional food development. The research involved formulating brownies with varying concentrations of banana peel flour at 10%, 25%, and 50%. Each formulation was evaluated based on proximate composition and sensory attributes, including color, aroma, taste, and texture. Results indicated that substitution levels of up to 25 percent improved nutritional value, particularly in terms of fiber and mineral content, without significantly compromising consumer acceptability. The 10 percent formulation achieved the highest scores across all sensory parameters, while the 50 percent formulation exhibited reduced palatability due to increased bitterness and changes in texture. These findings highlight the potential of banana peel flour as a sustainable and nutritious ingredient in baked products when used in optimal proportions.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital financial services has transformed the way individuals manage their personal finances, particularly among productive-age populations who actively engage with financial technology. While digital financial inclusion continues to increase in Indonesia, disparities between financial access and financial literacy remain a significant challenge, potentially affecting individuals' financial well-being. This study aims to examine the influence of digital financial literacy, financial behavior, and financial socialization on the financial well-being of Indonesia's productive-age population. A quantitative research design was employed using a structured online questionnaire distributed to individuals aged within the productive workforce who had at least two years of work experience and had used digital financial services. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings indicate that digital financial literacy, financial behavior, and financial socialization each have a positive and significant effect on financial well-being. Individuals with stronger digital financial competencies, healthier financial behaviors, and greater exposure to financial socialization demonstrate higher levels of financial well-being. These findings highlight the importance of integrating financial education, behavioral development, and social influences to improve financial well-being in the digital era. The study contributes to the behavioral finance literature by providing empirical evidence from Indonesia's productive-age population and offers practical implications for policymakers, financial institutions, and financial education providers in designing programs that strengthen digital financial capability and sustainable financial well-being.
