Abstract

Yellow pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is a nutrient-rich horticultural commodity with considerable potential for development into various food products, including pudding. However, scientific information regarding the effects of pumpkin incorporation on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of pudding remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different proportions of pumpkin (30%, 50%, and 70%) on the physicochemical properties, vitamin C content, and sensory acceptance of pumpkin pudding. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed with three replications for each treatment. The analyses included syneresis at two storage conditions (refrigerated and room temperatured), total dissolved solids (TDS), texture (hardness), color parameters (L*, a*, b*), vitamin C content determined by iodometric titration, and a hedonic test involving 30 untrained panelists. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The results showed that increasing the proportion of pumpkin had significant effects on TDS, texture, color attributes, vitamin C content, and most sensory parameters. Higher pumpkin concentrations decreased TDS and hardness values while increasing syneresis due to higher free-water content within the gel matrix. Lightness (L*) and vitamin C levels increased proportionally with the amount of pumpkin added. Sensory evaluation revealed that the 30% pumpkin formulation received the highest scores for color, aroma, texture, taste, and overall acceptance, whereas the 70% formulation received the lowest scores, particularly for color and chewiness. These findings indicate that the 30% pumpkin incorporation provides the most optimal balance of physical quality, nutritional enhancement, and consumer acceptability. Keywords: Organoleptic, Physicochemical Properties, Pudding, Pumpkin, Vitamin c

Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max Merril.) is a strategic food crop whose productivity must be improved to meet increasing national demand. The use of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) offers a promising approach to enhance plant growth and yield. This study evaluated the effects of PGPR types and application frequencies on the growth and yield of the Grobogan soybean variety. The experiment, conducted from June to September 2025, employed a two-factor Randomized Complete Block Design with five PGPR types and three application frequencies. Results showed that PGPR type significantly affected plant height, leaf number, and pod number, while application frequency significantly influenced plant height at 10 WAP and pod number. Bamboo root PGPR produced the best performance, with a plant height of 78.84 cm, 43 leaves, and 110 pods under three applications. These findings demonstrate that bamboo root PGPR is a promising biological agent for sustainably improving soybean productivity.

Abstract

Radish (Raphanus sativus) have tubers as a source of carbohydrates, protein, and essential vitamins A and C. This study investigated how the combined application of goat manure and NPK 16-16-16 influences the growth and yield of radish plants when cultivated in sandy soil. The research took place from September 2024 to January 2025 at the Research and Experiment Garden of Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya (UMPR). The experimental design was a Randomized Block Design (RBD), incorporating two key treatment factors. namely factor I goat manure (K) which consists of 3 levels, namely k1 = 10 tons ha-1, k2 = 20 tons ha-1, k3 = 30 tons ha-1. Factor II NPK 16-16-16 (N) consists of 3 levels, namely n0 = 0 kg ha-1, n1 = 200 kg ha-1, n2 = 400 kg ha-1. The results of the study showed that the interaction of the two treatment factors of goat manure and NPK 16-16-16 did not have a real effect on all observation parameters. Goat manure treatment had a very noticeable effect on the wet weight of the canopy of radish plants at a dose of 20 tons ha-1 (k2) and the treatment of NPK 16-16-16 had a noticeable effect on the wet weight of the canopy at a dose of 400 kg ha-1 (n2) and the fresh weight of radish tubers at a dose of 200 kg ha-1 (n1). It is recommended to cultivate radish plants using a combination of goat manure of 20 tons ha-1 and NPK fertilizer of 400 kg ha-1.

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the microencapsulation properties of Dioscorea hispida Dennst. tuber extract processed using the thin layer drying method and to evaluate the effectiveness of the resulting microencapsulated product as a bioherbicide against broadleaf weeds. The extract was prepared at three concentration levels (20%, 30%, and 40%) with three replications, and each extract was mixed with maltodextrin and Tween 80 as coating materials prior to the drying process to produce microencapsulated powder. The analysis results showed that the microcapsules exhibited a spherical shape, good stability, and high encapsulation efficiency. SEM observations revealed the presence of two distinct layers, indicating that the active compounds were well entrapped within the coating matrix. Toxicity testing (%) was conducted through visual observation using a scoring method. Phytotoxicity tests on Ageratum conyzoides showed the highest toxicity symptoms at a concentration of 40%, with a score of 20%, characterized by chlorosis, leaf drop, and physiological disturbances. Ageratum conyzoides exhibited a phytotoxicity level of 20%. Overall, these results confirm that microencapsulated Dioscorea hispida Dennst. extract has strong potential as a natural bioherbicide for suppressing the growth of broadleaf weeds. Keywords: Bioherbicide; Dioscorea hispida Dennts; Microencapsulation; Phytotoxicity; Thin layer drying.

Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of wheat flour substitution with purple sweet potato flour on the physical characteristics of white bread. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design with a single factor, namely the level of purple sweet potato flour substitution at 0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60%. The physical parameters analyzed included color (L*, a*, b*), texture (firmness), porosity, and dough expansion.The results showed that increasing levels of purple sweet potato flour substitution significantly affected all physical parameters of the bread (p < 0.05). Higher substitution levels resulted in a decrease in lightness (L*) and an increase in a* values, indicating darker crumb and crust color due to the presence of anthocyanin pigments. Bread firmness increased from 6.45 ± 0.13 N in the control sample to 50.16 ± 2.90 N at 60% substitution, while porosity and dough expansion decreased markedly from 45.34 ± 0.42% to 22.13 ± 1.19% and from 89.09 ± 0.02% to 15.71 ± 3.24%, respectively.Substitution of purple sweet potato flour at 30% produced bread with acceptable physical characteristics, characterized by a balanced texture, porosity, and dough expansion. Substitution levels above this threshold resulted in a significant decline in bread quality. These findings indicate that purple sweet potato flour has strong potential as a functional ingredient in white bread formulation. Keywords: flour substitution; physical characteristics; purple sweet potato flour; white bread.

Abstract

Agricultural and livestock wastes are widely available in clove-producing areas but remain underutilized as organic fertilizer inputs. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of compost produced from clove leaf litter, cattle manure, and agricultural residues based on physical and chemical characteristics. The experiment was arranged using a randomized block design with nine treatment combinations and three replications. Compost quality parameters analyzed included organic carbon content, total nitrogen, and C/N ratio. Data were subjected to analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at a 5% significance level. The results showed that variations in raw material proportions significantly affected all measured compost quality parameters. Compost formulations with balanced proportions of cattle manure, clove leaves, and agricultural residues resulted in lower C/N ratios, indicating improved compost maturity and stability compared to unbalanced material combinations. These findings demonstrate that locally available agricultural and livestock wastes can be effectively processed into high-quality compost, providing a practical approach to organic waste utilization and supporting environmentally friendly agricultural practices in clove-producing regions. Keywords: agricultural residues, cattle manure, clove leaf litter, compost quality, organic fertilizer
