Abstract

Bondowoso Robusta Coffee is a type of Robusta coffee that has a distinctive taste and high quality. The distinctive taste and high quality are obtained from the results of harvest management and post-harvest processing in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). This research will be carried out by testing the characteristics of Robusta ground coffee with a mixture of palm sugar and vanilla flavoring to improve the quality of Robusta ground coffee. This was done by knowing the physicochemical and organoleptic properties of the mixed Robusta ground coffee. The aim of this research is to determine the interaction between roasting level and the composition of palm sugar and vanilla powder on the physiochemical and organoleptic properties of 3 in 1 Robusta Coffee. This research uses an experimental plan arranged factorially with the basic pattern of a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 replications. This design has two factors, the first factor is the roasting level and the second is the mixture composition. The results of this research show (1) The interaction of Roasting Level and Mixture (palm sugar and vanilla powder) has no significant effect on all observed variables such as water content, Brix content, pH value, and powder bulk density. (2) The effect of the main level of roasting has a very significant effect on the observed variables of rainfall density and an insignificant effect on the variables of air content, Brix content and pH value. (3) The effect of the main mixture has a very significant effect on the observed variables of air content, Brix content and powder bulk density and has no significant effect on the variable pH value.

Abstract

Boba is a drink originating from Taiwan that has become popular in the Indonesian beverage industry in recent years. This drink consists of a mixture of tea with fruit or milk flavors, with the addition of tapioca-based black chewy textured balls called bubble pearls/boba. Bubble pearls made from tapioca are known to have low nutrition and fiber, so it is necessary to improve their functional characteristics by utilizing local commodities, one of which is porang. Porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus Prain) as one of the local commodities has the potential to improve the characteristics of bubble pearls. Glucomannan flour from porang tubers has high glucomannan content, quite high fiber content, and can form a gel. This study aims to determine the characteristics of bubble pearl products with the addition of glucomannan flour and to determine the optimum percentage of glucomannan flour and tapioca. The formulation of bubble pearls was carried out using the Simplex Lattice Design method and their physical, chemical, and hedonic characteristics were analyzed. The optimization parameters included water absorption capacity, gumminess level, and dietary fiber content. The optimum formula produced by the Simplex Lattice Design method is in formula 2, bubble pearls with the addition of 25% glucomannan flour which has the highest desirability value of 0.862. Formula 2 consists of a water absorption capacity of 37.08%, a gumminess level of 45.72 gf, and a dietary fiber content of 5.65%. The hedonic values are 5.73 for color (slightly like), 5.7 for aroma (slightly like), 4.8 for hardness (neutral), 4.73 for chewiness (neutral), 5.23 for taste (slightly like), and 5.4 overall (slightly like). Additionally, the water content is 59.97% and the ash content is 1.41%.

Abstract

The growing animal welfare concerns regarding poultry production have led to the rearing of slow-growing meat type chickens also known as free-range chickens. In Zimbabwe these slow-growing chickens are gaining popularity as an alternative to the commercial broiler chickens owing to their preferred sensory attributes comparatively. Little is known regarding the quality of the meat versus that of the conventional broilers. We evaluated the physical characteristics and nutritional composition of meat from dual purpose slow-growing hybrids, Sasso C431 and TR51 in comparison with the commercial broiler breed Ross 308, under intensive feeding conditions. Birds were fed the standard commercial chicken feed produced by Hamara, a local chicken and chicken feed producing company. Birds were slaughtered on days 42, 56 and 70 of life where carcass and breast yield were measured. The pH, drip loss and cooking losses were determined for all carcasses. Proximate composition (dry matter, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate) and mineral composition (iron, zinc and phosphorus) were determined for all the meat samples. The fast-growing broiler breed had a higher breast yield; than the slower-growing breeds, Sasso C431 and TR51 breeds (P<0.05). The highest cooking and drip loss were observed in the faster growing breed Ross 308 and the lowest ones for Sasso C431 and TR51 breeds (P<0.05). Shear texture values were higher in the Sasso C431 and TR51 than the Ross 308 breed (P<0.05). The Sasso C431 and TR51 breeds can produce more meat with a lower fat and a higher protein compared to the Ross breeds.

Abstract

Malaria, anemia, and malnutrition are global health challenges with significant morbidity and mortality, and higher rates among children particularly in Africa. This study evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of malaria infection, anemia, and malnutrition among school-going children of Charsadda (a city of Khyber, Pakistan). A total of 400 children of aged 5-10 years were included in the study in 2023. Malaria infection was confirmed by rapid diagnostic tests. Hematocrit level was obtained using a centrifuge microhematocrit and converted to hemoglobin using standard conversion. Nutritional status was determined by the anthropometric measurements, and demographic characteristics were obtained by questionnaire. Anemia and malnutrition were defined according to the World Health Organization standards. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine association between the predictor variables and primary outcomes. In current research work 400 children were selected for the assessment of malaria and nutritional status, malaria infection was found more frequent among the students 120(12%). In addition, high prevalence of anemia 105(10.5%), malnutrition 90(9%), and stunting 70(7%) was observed, while wasting 2(0.2%) and underweight 20(2%0 had very low frequency. Malaria infection, anemia, and malnutrition were observed in12%, 10.5% and 9% of the children population, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study showing the current health problems among the school-going children of district Charsadda the prevalence of malaria, anemia and malnutrition and their co-existence in children 5-10 years.

Abstract

Propolis contains natural polyphenolic compounds with various biological activities, however, its application is limited due to low water solubility, instability in an aqueous medium, and low absorption rate in the body. The solution to overcome these drawbacks is to create nanoparticles of propolis extract. In this study, we encapsulated propolis extract in nanoparticles (propolis extract-loaded nanoparticles, PE-NP) using low/medium molecular weights of chitosan (LMW/MMW) and cross-linker sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) by ionic/ionotropic gelation method as wall materials. We examined the physical characteristics (pH, turbidity, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential) and antioxidative properties of PE-NP prepared with the different molecular weights of chitosan, various concentrations of chitosan, and different volumes of propolis extracts. The resulting PE-NP revealed low encapsulation efficiency (23.937 - 41.192%) and pH in the range of 3.9 - 4.8. PE-NP also presented antioxidant capacity that was contributed by polyphenolic compounds in propolis extract. The suspension of PE-NP had a particle size of 350.000 - 488.280 nm with PDI values higher than 0.3 (heterogeneous dispersion), and positive zeta potential (39.340 - 48.200 mV), resulting in stable nanoparticles. The PE-NP produced can be used as functional ingredients in the food industry due to their antioxidative property.[This article has been officially retracted upon the request of the author]

Abstract

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a dual purpose, early matured low land pulse crop. Information on the genetic divergent, path coefficient and principal component analysis plays a vital role for further breeding activity in common bean. Therefore, this study was initiated with the objective of identifying superior lines for hybridization program, identify the traits that have direct and indirect effect on seed yield and to determine genetic similarity among genotypes using multivariate analysis on 64 genotypes using 8x8 simple lattice design at Aybra main research site during 2023 under rain fed conditions. Analysis of variance was performed using SAS software and the genetic divergent and principal component analysis were done using R software. The ANOVA revealed highly significant variations among genotypes for all the traits considered in the study and it suggest the possibility of estimating genetic divergent, path coefficient and principal component analysis. Branches per plant, above ground biomass and harvest index had significant positive direct effects on seed yield at the genotypic and phenotypic levels while days to maturity had a significant negative indirect effect with seed yield at the genotypic. The maximum inter cluster distance was found between clusters VII and VIII (D2 =351.39), followed by clusters V and VIII (D2 =331.23). The first five principal component axes accounted for 74.3% of the total variation, with eigenvalues greater than unity. The number of days to maturity, plant height, number of pods per plant, number seeds per pod, seed yield, and harvest index were the traits that contributed most of the variation in the first PCs. Therefore, selection based on direct and indirect effect of the traits and hybridization based on cluster distance could be possible for the improvement of common bean in the study area.

Abstract

Coffee is one of the leading plantation commodities in Indonesia. High-quality coffee has a higher price than low-quality coffee. The quality of coffee is determined by the method of selecting planting materials, handling during harvest, and processing. Coffee that is processed naturally, will be dried in the form of fruit/cherry so that coffee will decrease in quality. The quality of coffee beans can be improved if the roasting process is carried out using the right roasting temperature and time. With a variety of treatments in post-harvest processing methods and roasting levels will produce different coffee quality so that appropriate treatment is needed to determine the final result of coffee with the best quality. This study used the Complete Randomized Design (CRD) method with 2 factors, namely differences in coffee types (robusta coffee and arabica coffee) and roasting levels (light roast, medium roast, and dark roast). The research variables observed were seed weight, camba density, water content, and caffeine content. The data obtained will be analyzed using analysis of variance. If there is a significant difference between treatments, then further tests will be carried out using the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% failure level.

Abstract

Traditional cereal technologies have long been applied in Africa since the dawn of time. Cereal technology is the processing of cereal grain into starch and other nutrients for consumption by humans or animals. The technology involves all processes that the grain is taken through from the farm till it reaches the table for consumption. Examples of traditional cereal technologies employed are sun drying, parboiling, roasting, malting and fermentation. Poor livelihoods and inadequate nutritious foods for some African communities may be alleviated through use of the indigenous cereal technologies. The objective of this review is to discuss various traditional cereal technologies and explain their influence on the life of communities. This review is based on traditional cereal technologies that have been employed over the years and their importance to the livelihood of communities in Africa. Technologies employed by various communities and how they have paved way for the development of current technologies were explored. Information in the review was extracted from various journals and papers on cereal technologies. Some of the information was obtained from different rural communities thereby giving details of technologies  being employed todate. The techniques used are an effective way of improving nutritional quality, reducing anti-nutritive compounds and improving the functionality of cereals. Traditional cereal technologies improve sensory properties and shelf life of foods. The technologies are also important in reducing post-harvest food losses and increasing food availability. As reviewed, these technologies bring variety to diets and increase the bioavailability of some nutrients, serve as a source of income and encourage unity in communities. By creating employment opportunities in rural areas, use of traditional cereal technologies contribute to reduction of rural-urban migration.  Cereal processing technologies are an important part of community livelihoods, food and nutrition security especially in rural areas.  However, there is need to continuously improve some of these techniques to ensure sustainability of livelihoods and food security.

Abstract

Among bean legumes, there are recently developed varieties known as nutritionally enhanced beans such as NUA 35 and NUA 45 sugar beans. The objective of the research was to assess the performance of NUA 45 foundation, certified and commodity seeds grown under farmer management at Rupike Irrigation Scheme in Masvingo. Concentrations of zinc (2.75-4.45mg/kg) and iron (70.85-104.5 mg/kg) in the soils were below expected levels of 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg respectively.  The NUA 45 sugar bean missed the target potential yield (2400 kg/ha for Highveld) by between 54% and 62%. The 100 seed mass of second generation seeds ranged from 62.13 to 78.47 g. Protein concentration of the seeds which range from 19.79 to 22.86% increased from first generation (F1) to second generation (F2) for each of Foundation, Certified and Commodity seeds. The concentration of fibre with minimum and maximum levels of 5.76% and 8.43 % respectively increased from first generation to second generation for Foundation and Certified seeds. The 95% confidence interval for Zinc concentration at F1 (planted) is 10.84 ≤ µZn≤11.18 mg/kg and also the 95% confidence interval for Zinc concentration at F2 (harvested) is 11.79 ≤ µZn≤12.12 mg/kg and lower than CBI claim of 38.00 mg/Kg. The 95% confidence intervals for iron concentration ranged from 28.50 ≤ µFe≤30.57 mg/kg with the highest being 30.59 ≤ µFe≤32.34 mg/kg are below the CBI claim of 93.00 mg/kg. The nutrients levels increased from the first generation to the second generation of seeds for each of foundation, certified and commodity seeds.

Abstract

— Curahpoh Village, Bondowoso Regency, has the potential to become a center for producing Robusta coffee. The uniqueness is found in several Robusta coffee outliers which produce yellow fruit resembling yellow cattura and yellow bourbon which are only found in Arabica species. A new clone of “yellow robusta coffee” found in Curahpoh Village needs to be characterized and identified for its kinship with existing robusta coffees on the market. It is hoped that the results of this study will become the basis for claims for the first superior new yellow coffee clone in Robusta coffee. This study used several morphological, physiological parameters to characterize these superior clones and identification of kinship with several other Robusta clones using RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA). Other robusta clones as a comparison were imported from several community plantations or state-owned enterprises in Bondowoso district and its surroundings. The interim results in this study were that Robusta coffee in Curahpoh village was morphologically identical to BP 44, BP 42, BP 534 and BP358. This hypothesis is supported by the appearance of the leaves which are known to have waves that are quite strong compared to other coffee varieties collected in the trial greenhouse. Morphologically, Robusta coffee in Curahpoh village has similarities/identical with BP 44, BP 42, BP 534 and BP358 on the parameters of leaf number, leaf shape, leaf morphology and fruit color on the plant. Clones BP409, BP42, Sinasense, BP358, BP939, and Propelegitu are coffee clones that are molecularly highly related.
