Abstract

Golden Apple Snail (Pomacea canaliculata) secretion has traditionally been used for wound healing due to its high protein content, which promotes cell regeneration and inhibits inflammation. This study aims to utilize this secretion to formulate a topical gel for burn treatment, providing a controlled use for the abundant, invasive species in agricultural areas. Gel formulations with varying secretion concentrations (10%, 15%, and 20%) were evaluated for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, adhesion, spreadability, and viscosity. Results indicated that all formulations were homogeneous and had pH values within the acceptable range (4.5-6.5). The 15% secretion gel showed the highest user acceptance and optimal balance between spreadability and adhesion, but all formulations had higher than standard viscosity and lower spreadability. Adjusting carbopol concentration is recommended to improve the gel's physical properties. The 15% formulation is the most promising for effective topical application.

Abstract

Wolomeze District has abundant agricultural potential and located in a flat area. This potential includes the availability of agricultural land, the presence of plantation sectors, horticulture, and food crop agriculture, agricultural human resources, and the existence of active farmer groups. The aim of this research is to understand the local food sources in Wolomeze District regarding the types of plant varieties, cultivation techniques, methods of obtaining them during the harvest season and their availability in nature, as well as storage and processing methods, and effective strategies for promoting local food as part of the national food security and sovereignty strategy. This research’s method is a survey method utilizing the KoBoCollect application and QGIS through location determination, observation, interviews, and data analysis. The research results show that there are 18 local food species, namely Uwi, Uwi Gembolo, Uwi Gembili, Uwi Kuning Kulit Cokelat, Ubi Gadung, Porang, Balang, Sorgum, Jewawut, Ganyong, Cassava, Sweet Potato, Taro, Corn, Rice, Red Beans, Gude Beans, and Jali-Jali. Some local foods have different planting and harvesting seasons. The cultivation system of local food consists of gardens, plantations, and forests, with processing methods that remain traditional, such as boiling, roasting, steaming, and frying, or being made into traditional cakes. However, there have been no efforts made by the community and local government to make local food a strategy for national food security and sovereignty. Cultural rituals play a significant role in preserving the existence of local food for uses it as ingredients in rituals.

Abstract

The Tamarillo fruit, commonly known as the Dutch Eggplant (Solanum betaceum), is one of the tropical fruits that thrives in the Bajawa region of Ngada Regency. However, the fruit is still consumed directly or without further processing into food or beverage products.  A study aimed at determining the effect of the concentration of tamarillo fruit on the biochemical and organoleptic characteristics of tamarillo wine. The biochemical characteristics to be measured include ethanol content, reducing sugar content, total acidity, pH, antioxidant content, as well as the number of live and dead yeast. Meanwhile, organoleptic aspects include color, clarity, aroma, taste, and the preferences of the panelists. The research method used is a completely randomized design with 3 treatments, namely the concentration of Dutch eggplant fruit: water ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3, with 3 replications for each treatment. The research results show that the wine made from starfruit with a concentration treatment of 1:3 has the highest biochemical characterization results, including ethanol content, total acidity, pH, antioxidants, viable yeast count, and dead yeast count, compared to the concentrations of 1:1 and 1:2. However, it has the lowest reducing sugar content. The organoleptic test shows that the wine with a treatment concentration of 1:3 has the highest scores for color, clarity, aroma, taste, and preference because it has a red color, clarity, fruity and alcoholic aroma, fruity and alcoholic taste, and is favored by the panelists.

Abstract

Steam power plant is a power plant that uses steam energy as the main turbine engine to produce electricity. Most steam power plant are built in coastal areas because it requires water for its utilization as waste heat or coolant from the surrounding environment. The construction of steam power plant in coastal areas has caused several issues, such as hot water waste, coal waste, mud, sand, and others that can affect the quality of coastal waters and alter the biological composition in the ocean. The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of Steam Power Plant X wastewater disposal on the phytoplankton community structure and coastal water quality in South Lampung. The sampling points were taken at 3 stations in March-April 2024. Water samples were analyzed using 3 parameters: physics, chemistry and biology, with seven optional parameters measured both ex situ and in situ, namely pH, temperature, salinity, brightness, TSS, nitrate and plankton. Based on the results, the disposal of wastewater from Steam Power Plant X has an impact on the phytoplankton community structure, resulting an increase in dominance of phytoplankton species and causing an increase in physical parameters such as temperature and brightness that exceed environmental quality standards.

Abstract

The biopriming technique is an alternative method to replace synthetic fungicides on chili seeds by applying a biological agent in the form of mycorrhizal fungi at the early seedling stage. Biological seed treatment can provide plant protection throughout its entire life cycle. This research aims to determine the chili varieties that provide the best growth and production response using the biopriming technique, the duration of seed soaking in the biopriming technique with mycorrhizae affecting the viability of chili seeds, and the interaction between the seed biopriming technique and curly chili varieties. The method used was experimental with a factorial design consisting of two factors: curly chili varieties (Tangguh F1 and MB-333 F1) and the duration of chili seed soaking (0, 24, 48, and 72 hours). The research results showed that the Tangguh F1 chili variety seeds with a 24-hour soaking treatment produced seeds with the most optimal germination rate, uniformity of growth, vigor index, plant height, number of leaves, flowering age, fruit length per plant, fruit diameter, and fruit weight per plant compared to all other treatments. The results of the variance analysis and significant difference test at the 5% significance level indicated that there were significant differences in germination rate, uniformity of growth, vigor index, plant height, number of leaves, flowering age, fruit length per plant, fruit diameter, and fruit weight per plant produced by the curly chili seeds given different soaking durations and chili varieties.

Abstract

Rice plants frequently encounter both biotic and abiotic stress because the nation is tropical. Through the application of ecologically friendly technology, the sustainability of diminishing rice production can be addressed. Trichoderma spp. microorganisms used in biopriming may be able to address the issues that come up. The purpose of the research is to determine how bio priming using Trichoderma spp. affects the viability and vigor of seeds from several rice varieties. (Oryza sativa L.). This study employs an experimental approach with a Completely Randomized approach (CRD) factorial design that includes two factors: the rice variety and the concentration of Trichoderma spp. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study show that seed vigor and viability are significantly impacted by biopriming with Trichoderma spp. For the Kusuma 05 rice variety, the treatment with Trichoderma spp. at a 30% concentration showed the largest increase in each variable.
