Abstract

Pro coffee is a fermented beverage using Bacillus cereus bacterial consortium with single-cell protein. This study aims to determine the best composition of the B. cereus consortium bacteria mixture in organoleptic aspects that panelists most prefer and the effect of adding B. cereus consortium bacteria on proximate analysis and pro coffee flavor. Organoleptic testing of probiotic coffee was conducted on 20 panelists, then continued with proximate analysis of pro coffee. The composition with the best organoleptic flavor is obtained in code D, with the treatment of adding 5% bacterial consortium B. cereus for 15 days. The analysis of taste obtained has a value of 0.000 <0.05, and the study results show that the significance value is smaller than the significance level. Hence, the treatment results give the effect of adding bacterial consortium to pro-coffee. The addition of bacterial consortium B. cereus to probiotic coffee, in the form of moisture, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrate content, is 0.000 <0.05. The analysis results show that the significance value is greater than the significance level, so the treatment results do not give the effect of adding bacterial consortium to pro coffee

Abstract

The cocoa drink is a beverage derived from processed cocoa beans. The antioxidant content of cocoa can be used as a basis for cocoa beverage development. One form of diversification of processed cocoa products is made drinks with Chlorella vulgaris fortification, which is rich in nutrients. This study aims to determine the effect of Chlorella vulgaris powder fortification on the quality characteristics of cocoa preparations and determine the best concentration for making cocoa drinks. The research method was experimental, using a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4 different levels of formula concentration treatment, namely cocoa drink processing without Chlorella vulgaris powder fortification (KC0), 10% Chlorella vulgaris powder fortification (KC1), 15% Chlorella vulgaris powder fortification (KC2) and 20% Chlorella vulgaris powder fortification (KC3). The research parameters observed were characteristics of appearance, odor, flavor, and texture in hedonic testing, proximate composition (moisture, fat, protein, ash, carbohydrate content), solubility, antioxidant activity, and total phenolic testing. Based on the results showed that cocoa drink with 15% Chlorella vulgaris powder fortification (KC2) is the best concentration with organoleptic characteristics such as blackish brown cocoa drink, slightly fragrant chocolate odor typical of Chlorella vulgaris and cocoa, a slightly bitter taste, typical of Chlorella vulgaris and a slightly thick texture. The proximate composition is 3.18% moisture content, 11.10% fat, 7.95% protein, 3.86% ash and 73.92% carbohydrate. Meanwhile, the solubility is 67.69%, antioxidant activity is 177.92 mg/L, and phenolic content is 1.14 μg/mL. Therefore, this cocoa drink can be used as a functional drink

Abstract

Coral animals have tentacles in which there are Nematocysts in the ectoderm layer and zooxanthella in the endoderm layer, and these two components have a role as a defense and food source; this study was conducted to identify the components of Montipora danae coral tentacles. The research was conducted in Marak Island, West Sumatra, with a purposive sampling method based on the presence of M.danae. The coral samples were decalcified to separate the tissue from the skeleton. The results of this study indicate that M.danae consists of Nematocysts type sH (small Holotrich), MpM-I (Microbasic p-Mastighopore I), and H (Holotrich). Holotrich has the highest relative abundance of 74-91%, MpM-I has 3,92-20,63% and sH has 3-24%. Holotrich has larger morphometrics than sH and MpM-I, namely 72,76-82,35 μm capsule length and 19,55-24 μm capsule width. The zooxanthella density of M. danae was lower than that of normal corals at 624 cells/cm2.

Abstract

One of the fisheries catches in Tanjung Jabung Barat is Fourfinger threadfin (Eleutheronema tetradactylum). Fourfinger threadfin is a commodity with a high economic value and has good taste, so many people catch it. Fourfinger threadfin is carried out continuously without considering the potential of the fish. If this continues to be done, it will cause a decrease in population. This research was conducted in August-October 2024. Secondary data on the results of the capture obtained from this study are data derived from the Tanjung Jabung Barat Fisheries Service from 2018 - 2022, including catches and efforts to catch Fourfinger threadfin. The data that was obtained was analyzed using Microsoft Excel. This research shows that the catch of Fourfinger threadfin in Tanjung Jabung Barat fluctuates every year. The highest CPUE value occurred in 2020, namely 3.688028, and the lowest was in 2021 at 1.28533. CMSY results and Optimum Effort of 727.4554 tons/year with Optimum Effort (Eopt) of 310,280 trips/year. With a Total Allowable Catch of 581.9643244. based on the data analysis that has been done, it can be concluded that the sustainable potential of Fourfinger threadfin in the waters of Tanjung Jabung Barat has not experienced overfishing. However, if there is an increase in fishing effort (trip), then the sustainable potential can be experienced in overfishing.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the interannual variability of Sea Level Anomaly (SLA) along the western coast of Sumatra waters, focusing on the influences of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) in modulating SLA patterns. Using 31 years (1993-2023) of a gridded dataset from Copernicus Marine Service (CMS) and climate indices as the reference, the interplay between SLA and climate modes (ENSO and IOD) was determined through lag/lead correlation and spatial distribution analysis. The analysis shows a clear inversive relationship between ENSO and SLA, with a one-month delayed negative correlation (r= -0.41), indicating that SLA increases during the La Niña phase due to shifting in atmospheric and oceanic conditions. Similarly, SLA exhibits a negative correlation with DMI (r= -0.46) without any lag, suggesting a rapid response of SLA to IOD. Spatial analysis further demonstrates that ENSO and IOD most strongly influence SLA along Sumatra’s coast within the first 1–3 months. These findings reveal that ENSO and IOD modulate SLA variability with distinct spatiotemporal characteristics, providing crucial insights for understanding coastal dynamics and enhancing mitigation strategy for sea level-related disasters in the western coastal region of Sumatra

Abstract

This study aims to determine the population structure of Meretrix meretrix in the intertidal zone in Sri Tanjung Village, including abundance, distribution patterns, and size distribution. This research was conducted in February 2024 in Sri Tanjung Village, Rupat District, Bengkalis Regency. The research method used was the survey method. M. meretrix is one of the biota that lives in tidal areas where the subzone that experiences tides is divided into 3 (three) subzones (upper, middle, and lower). The research site is divided into two research stations. Each station is divided into 3 (three) transects, each consisting of 3 (three) plots with a size of 1 x 1 m². Environmental parameters include temperature, salinity, pH, substrate type, and organic matter. The results showed that the highest abundance was found in the Lower subzone at station I, with an average abundance of 8.66 ind/m2, and at station II, with an average abundance of 4.33 ind/m2. In comparison, the lowest abundance is found in the upper subzone at station I with an average value of 3 ind/m2, and the lowest abundance at station II with an average of 1 ind/m2. The size distribution of M. meretrix at station 1 obtained seven classes, with the highest number of individuals in the 3rd class (2.33 - 2.92 cm), while at station 2, there were six classes where the highest number of individuals was in the 3rd class (1.47 - 1.81 cm). The distribution pattern of M. meretrix found is random and uniform. The analysis results of M. meretrix abundance between stations and M. meretrix abundance between intertidal subzones differed significantly.
