Abstract

Functional tea bags containing mace and nutmeg (Myristica argentea Warb.) were developed to support blood glucose regulation amid the rising prevalence of degenerative diseases, including diabetes mellitus, in Indonesia. Both ingredients contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, myristicin, and phenolic acids that may contribute to glucose regulation. This study evaluated the effect of varying mace and nutmeg proportions on sensory acceptance, determined the optimal formulation, and assessed bioactive properties, antioxidant activity, and alpha glucosidase inhibitory potential. A one-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was applied with four formulations: F1 (0.05 g : 0.25 g), F2 (0.10 g : 0.20 g), F3 (0.15 g : 0.15 g), and F4 (0.20 g : 0.10 g). Sensory evaluation used a seven-point hedonic scale for color, aroma, taste, and aftertaste, analyzed by chi-square and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) if a 5% significance level. The optimal formulation was determined using the De Garmo method. Results showed that varying proportions significantly affected all sensory parameters. F2 (0.10 g : 0.20 g) achieved the highest scores: color 5.98, aroma 6.51, taste 6.40, and aftertaste 6.00. Its bioactive profile included total phenolics of 20.91 mg GAE/g, total flavonoids of 0.3 mg QE/g, and antioxidant activity with an IC50 of 448.78 ppm (weak). F2 also showed increasing alpha-glucosidase inhibition with rising concentrations, reaching 31.56 % at 100,000 ppm. These findings indicate that F2 exhibits low alpha glucosidase inhibitory activity due to its limited phenolic and flavonoid content, highlighting the need for formulation and extraction optimization to enhance the bioactive compound levels and the functional potential of mace–nutmeg tea bags in a herbal jamu preparation.

Abstract

The spice and seasoning industry produce sludge waste that has the potential to pollute the environment if not managed properly. This waste contains nutrients and organic matter, making it a potential soil conditioner for sweet corn cultivation; however, its use must be combined with other materials such as rice husk charcoal and compost. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of combining sludge, compost, husk charcoal, and NPK fertilizer on the growth and productivity of sweet corn. This study was conducted at the Cikabayan Experimental Farm using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with five levels of sludge application: (1) 100% sludge (S1H2), (2) 75% sludge (S2H2), (3) 50% sludge (S3H2), all treatments were combined with husk charcoal (75%), compost (30%), NPK fertilizer (75%), urea (100%), (4) PB (NPK 100%), and (5) Control (no treatment). Each treatment was repeated three times, resulting in 15 experimental units. The results showed that the S2H2 treatment yielded the best results for all plant growth parameters, such as plant height, stem diameter, and all generative parameters. The S1H2 combination yielded the best results for soil chemical and biological characteristics, including pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, total microbes, and total fungi. The S1H2 combination also yielded the best results for corn plant productivity at 5.30 tons/ha. The combination of organic matter and NPK fertilizer application is highly efficient as it reduces NPK fertilizer use by 25%.

Abstract

Belsasikuntas is a functional beverage made from a mixture of Wuluh star fruit, bay leaves, betel leaves, turmeric, and beluntas leaves. This study aims to analyze its polyphenol and vitamin C content using the Folin-Ciocalteu method for polyphenols and the iodometry method for vitamin C. Additionally, an organoleptic evaluation was conducted to assess color, aroma, and taste. Polyphenol and vitamin C content were tested both with and without dilution. For the diluted samples, a Completely Randomized Design method was applied with four concentration levels and five repetitions. The results for the undiluted samples showed that the highest polyphenol content (81.43 mg/100 mL) was observed at 5 mL, while the lowest (80.88 mg/100 mL) was recorded at 15 mL. The highest vitamin C content (48.01 mg/100 mL) was found at 15 mL, whereas the lowest (47.89 mg/100 mL) was at 5 mL. In diluted samples, the highest polyphenol content (81.36 mg/100 mL) was observed at 20 mL, while the lowest (27.54 mg/100 mL) was at 5 mL. The highest vitamin C content (47.93 mg/100 mL) was recorded at 20 mL, whereas the lowest (11.10 mg/100 mL) was found at 5 mL. The results indicate that polyphenol and vitamin C content decrease as more water is added. The organoleptic evaluation yielded a total public acceptance score of 100%, with 62% for color, 11% for taste, and 27% for fragrance. These findings suggest that Belsasikuntas has potential as a functional health drink with favorable consumer acceptability. Keywords: Belsasikuntas, Health Drink, Polyphenol, Vitamin C

Abstract

Micronutrient fertilizers containing zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and boron (B) play an important role in supporting the growth and yield of tomato plants. This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic and economic effectiveness of micronutrient fertilizer application on tomato growth, yield, and farming feasibility. The experiment was conducted with six treatment levels of micronutrient fertilizer doses (0, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 doses). The study used a randomized complete block design. Data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance and the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. Farming analysis was conducted using economic calculations with profit and R/C ratio as variables. The results showed that micronutrient fertilizer application significantly affected plant height, number of branches, and number of flower clusters, as well as yield components such as number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, and total yield per plant, plot, and hectare. The 1.0 dose treatment showed the best results with 125.8 fruits per plant, a yield of 2,346.5 g per plant, and 15.79 tons per hectare. Agronomic effectiveness was measured using the relative agronomic effectiveness (RAE) value, where the 1.0 dose treatment showed the highest value of 199%, indicating a 1.99-fold increase in yield compared to the control. Economically, this treatment also resulted in the highest profit of Rp14,075,000 with the highest R/C ratio. These results indicate that Zn, Cu, and B micronutrient fertilizers are not only effective in increasing tomato productivity but also economically feasible for implementation in tomato farming.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of feed consumption and growth in ISA Brown strain during their pre-layer phase, specifically examining the impact of different feed forms: Mash, Crumble, and Pellet. An experimental design with three feed form treatments was employed, measuring feed consumption, body weight gain (BWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Statistical analysis including ANOVA and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test was used to identify significant differences between treatments. The results showed crumble feed led to the highest daily feed intake (2310.00 ± 11.71b g/hen/day), while mash (2075.50 ± 56.31a) and pellet (2080.17 ± 54.48a) were not significantly different from each other but were lower than crumble. Crumble also resulted in the highest BWG (170.17 ± 4.94c g/hen/day), followed by mash (143.13 ± 20.66b), and pellet (109.20 ± 10.80a). FCR was highest (least efficient) in Pellet (19.23 ± 2.22b), while mash (14.78 ± 2.39a) and crumble (13.58 ± 0.42a) showed better and similar efficiencies. It was concluded that crumble feed is most effective in enhancing feed intake, growth, and conversion efficiency in the ISA Brown strain during the pre-layer phase.

Abstract

The utilization of home gardens has significant potential to support household food security while serving as a medium for ecological and family-based education. This study aimed to describe the conditions of yard utilization, analyze family perceptions and attitudes, and identify the practices and challenges faced in their management. A descriptive quantitative–qualitative approach was employed involving 30 families in Mojogedang District, Karanganyar. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire measuring yard size and function, cultivation skills, motivation level, family participation, and support for children’s involvement. The data were analyzed descriptively to explore the relationships between physical yard conditions, family perceptions, and management constraints. The results show that most families own yards measuring 50–100 m² (40%), exhibit high motivation for productive use (80% agree–strongly agree), and express full support for involving children in yard activities (100% agree–strongly agree). The main challenges include limited cultivation skills, lack of production inputs, and time constraints for management. This study recommends the development of the Rumah Pangan Berkemajuan (RPB) Model based on four pillars: technical strengthening, integration of family education, socio-economic networking, and religious–ecological values. These findings provide a conceptual foundation for yard management oriented toward sustainable food security and ecological family character education.

Abstract

Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is an important horticultural commodity with high economic value, but its productivity has declined, especially in several production centers, including Probolinggo Regency. Disease attacks are one of the factors causing the decline in production, prompting farmers to use chemicals to control the disease. The use of chemical fungicides frequently poses risks to the environment and food safety, thereby highlighting the need for eco-friendly alternatives such as biological agents (e.g., Trichoderma sp.) and organic fertilizers like guano. This study aimed to determine the effect of Trichoderma sp. and guano fertilizer on the growth and yield of shallots. The study used a Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with the first factor being the dose of Trichoderma sp 0 (T1), 15 (T2), 25 (T3), 35 (T4) g/plant, and the second factor was guano fertilizer treatment at doses of 0 (G1), 35 (G2), 45 (G3), and 55 (G4) g/plant. The results showed that there was no interaction between Trichoderma sp. and guano fertilizer treatments on the growth and yield of shallots. However, both separately had a significant effect on several growth and yield parameters. Guano fertilizer had a significant effect on crown height, stem diameter, fresh and dry bulb weight, and root volume with an optimum dose of 45 g/plant. Meanwhile, the application of Trichoderma sp. had a significant effect on bulb diameter. The combination of biological agents and organic fertilizers demonstrated significant potential to enhance shallot productivity in a sustainable and environmentally responsible way.

Abstract

Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) is one of the leading plantation commodities whose growth is strongly influenced by environmental conditions, particularly the availability of shade from canopy trees. This study was conducted to analyze the influence of suren trees (Toona sureni) on the growth of Arabica coffee of the Ateng Super variety in Genteng Village, Sukasari District, Sumedang Regency. The research was carried out in April–May 2025 on a 0.7 ha community owned land with a sampling intensity of 15%. The observed parameters included total height, clear bole height, and diameter of suren shade trees, as well as the number and length of productive branches of coffee plants. Data were analyzed using classical assumption tests and multiple regression with t-tests through RStudio software.The results showed that the morphological characteristics of suren trees total height, clear bole height, and diameter did not directly influence the number or length of productive branches of Arabica coffee. Nevertheless, the presence of suren as a shade tree played an important role in creating a microclimate conducive to coffee growth. Microclimate observations indicated that suren shade could maintain ideal temperature and humidity ranges, namely 22–24°C and 72–83%, thereby helping stabilize the growing environment for coffee plants. With these capabilities, suren trees are considered suitable as shade species in Arabica coffee agroforestry systems. Their presence does not hinder coffee plant growth; instead, they contribute to establishing optimal environmental conditions for vegetative development and overall plant productivity.
