Abstract

This study assessed the stability indices and micronutrient composition of African oil bean (Pentaclethra macrophylla) seed oil blended with refined palm olein (RPO). Edible oil was extracted from African oil bean seeds and blended with refined palm olein in varying proportions. The blended oils were subjected to stability studies for 12 days using an accelerated method (Schaal’s oven test), and the progression of oxidation was evaluated by determining the stability indices and micro-component content of the oil samples. The data generated were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, and mean separation was performed using Duncan’s multiple range test at a 95% confidence level. The results revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) across all measured parameters among the different oil samples. Oil yield determination showed that African oil bean seeds have a high oil content of 43.21%.  The stability indices were affected during storage. The findings indicated that blended oils with a higher proportion of refined palm olein exhibited lower increases in peroxide value, free fatty acid value, and thiobarbituric acid value compared to pure African oil bean seed oil and blends with a higher proportion of African oil bean seed oil. The iodine values (IVs) of the oils decreased during storage, indicating depletion of double bonds. Specifically, AB100 decreased from 118.48 to 87.41 g I₂/100 g, RPO100 from 88.04 to 78.32 g I₂/100 g, RPO15:AB85 from 114.16 to 92.74 g I₂/100 g, RPO30:AB70 from 110.57 to 95.21 g I₂/100 g, and RPO50:AB50 from 102.20 to 94.14 g I₂/100 g.  Vitamin E and beta-carotene contents decreased with accelerated storage; however, increasing the proportion of refined palm olein improved their retention. In conclusion, blending African oil bean seed oil with refined palm olein enhances its oxidative stability, with the highest stability observed in the 50:50 oil blend.

Abstract

Edible films are thin layers used to coat food products and can be consumed along with the product itself. Previous studies have utilized purple yam starch as a base material for edible films; however, these films exhibit limitations in terms of mechanical and barrier properties. This study aims to utilize purple yam mucilage to improve the mechanical and barrier properties of purple yam starch-based edible films.  The experimental design employed a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five ratios of water to purple yam mucilage (1:0.5, 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, and 1:2.5). The results showed that increasing the proportion of purple yam mucilage improved the mechanical and barrier properties of the edible films, while reducing their solubility in water to as low as 33.23%.  The best film characteristics were achieved at a ratio of 1:2.5, with a thickness of 0.14 mm, a compressive strength of 3.73 × 10⁻⁴ MPa, a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of 21.94 g/m²·day, a transparency value of 8.33 %T/mm, and a solubility of 33.23%.

Abstract

This study aimed to optimize fermentation time and Ghalkoff microbial concentration on the chemical and microbiological characteristics of organic Robusta coffee as an alternative to civet coffee. The method used was Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a two-factor Central Composite Design (CCD), consisting of fermentation time (24, 48, 72 hours) and Ghalkoff microbial concentration (20%, 25%, 30% w/v). Parameters analyzed included caffeine content, chlorogenic acid content, total microbial count, and sensory evaluation (cupping test). The results showed that optimal conditions were achieved at a fermentation time of 72 hours and a microbial concentration of 30% (w/v), yielding the lowest caffeine content of 1.55%, the highest chlorogenic acid content of 6.81%, and a cupping score of 84, closely approaching that of commercial civet coffee (85). The caffeine content obtained meets the SNI 01-3542-2004 requirements for ground coffee quality grades I and II. Fermentation using Ghalkoff microbes was proven effective in improving the chemical and sensory characteristics of organic Robusta coffee and has potential as a more ethical and sustainable alternative to civet coffee production.

Abstract

Mosaccha tempeh is a fermented soybean product produced using Rhizopus oligosporus as a starter culture with the addition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and it has strong development potential. This study conducted financial and sensitivity analyses to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a Mosaccha tempeh agroindustry and its responsiveness to changes in key variables affecting business viability. The research aimed to assess the impact of various scenarios on business feasibility. The methods employed included surveys, observations, and interviews using a purposive sampling technique. Premium tempeh producers in Bandar Lampung were selected as prototypes, with UMKM Tempeh Cap Mobil serving as a reference to align the data with current conditions. Data were processed using Microsoft Excel and analyzed under several scenarios: increases in raw material prices (10%, 20%, and 30%), decreases in selling prices (10%, 20%, and 30%), and combinations of both factors at the same percentage levels. Under normal assumptions, the establishment of a Mosaccha tempeh agroindustry in Bandar Lampung is considered feasible, with an NPV of Rp 2,450,599,432.50, an IRR of 76%, a B/C ratio of 1.49, and a payback period of 1.67 years. Sensitivity analysis results indicate that increases in raw material costs of up to 30%, decreases in selling prices of up to 20%, and a combined 10% increase in raw material costs with a 10% decrease in selling prices do not significantly affect feasibility. However, simultaneous increases in raw material prices and decreases in selling prices are the most sensitive factors influencing the financial viability of the Mosaccha tempeh agroindustry in Bandar Lampung.

Abstract

Okara, a by-product of soybean milk production, remains underutilized despite its high protein and fiber content and potential contribution to sustainable food development. This study evaluated the use of okara as a raw material in  non-flaky  crackers by examining sensory acceptance and nutritional characteristics across five wheat flour–okara ratios: 50:50, 40:60, 30:70, 20:80, and 10:90. Organoleptic assessment included color, aroma, taste, and texture, while chemical analysis measured moisture, ash, protein, fat, crude fiber, carbohydrate content, and caloric value. The formulation containing 30:70 wheat flour to okara ratio showed the most acceptable sensory quality, particularly in taste and texture. Nutritional analysis of the selected product indicated 18.23% protein, 2.40% crude fiber, 33.54% fat, 40.86% carbohydrate, 4.95% ash, 2.41% moisture, and 551.18 cal/100 g. These results demonstrate that okara can be valorized as a functional ingredient in  non-flaky crackers, improving nutritional value while supporting food waste reduction and sustainable product development for small- and medium-scale enterprises.
