Abstract

Aloe vera gel has attracted considerable attention as a natural edible coating material due to its polysaccharide-rich composition and environmentally friendly characteristics. However, its application is limited by poor physicochemical stability during storage, including changes in pH, viscosity, color, brightness, and transparency. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of additive type and concentration on the physicochemical stability of Aloe vera gel-based nano-edible coatings during storage. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with four additive treatments, namely citric acid, ascorbic acid, potassium sorbate, and mixed additives, each applied at concentrations of 0.15%, 0.30%, and 0.45%. The formulated gels were stored under refrigerated conditions, and changes in pH, viscosity, total color difference (?E), brightness (L*), and transparency were periodically evaluated. The results showed that the type and concentration of the additive significantly affected the stability of Aloe vera gel. Citric acid and ascorbic acid were more effective in maintaining pH stability, brightness, and colour retention, while potassium sorbate mainly contributed to microbial stability but had limited effects on optical properties. Mixed additive formulations, particularly at lower concentrations, demonstrated synergistic effects by improving overall physicochemical and visual stability during storage. These findings indicate that appropriate selection and optimization of additives are essential for developing stable Aloe vera gel-based nano-edible coatings suitable for postharvest and food preservation applications.

Abstract

This study addresses the challenge of maintaining provenance continuity in the cinnamon supply chain, where raw materials are aggregated from multiple sources and undergo various transactions and transformations. It proposes a conceptual multi-level traceability model that explicitly represents hierarchical provenance relationships, allowing for accurate tracking of raw material origins and compositions throughout the supply chain. By modeling product relationships, quantitative source contributions, and transaction histories, the approach ensures provenance and quantitative consistency even in complex scenarios involving aggregation, ownership transfers, and product changes. The model enhances supply chain transparency and quality auditability by enabling detailed reconstruction of raw material origins at each stage. Specifically tailored to the operational realities of Indonesia’s cinnamon industry, the model supports improved traceability and integrity across the spice agro-industry sector.  Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic GrowthSDG 9: Industry, Innovation and InfrastructureSDG 12: Responsible Consumption and ProductionSDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the driving factors of millennial farmers' entrepreneurial interest in the innovative processing of cow's milk into Ambon banana yoghurt in Boyolali Regency. The local dairy farming sector faces challenges in optimising the added value of derivative products due to millennial farmers' limited knowledge. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, the study was conducted in Boyolali Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia, from April to June 2025, with 33 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires, then analyzed using descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression (SPSS). The descriptive analysis showed that millennial farmers' interest was relatively high (83.83%). The regression analysis identified that simultaneously, age, education level, and experience had a very significant effect on entrepreneurial interest (R2=0.713; p<0.01). Partially, education level and experience were the main determinants, while age was not a significant factor. The effectiveness of extension services was considered very effective (81.13%). The study concludes that cognitive factors (education and experience) play a crucial role in fostering interest in innovation-based entrepreneurship among millennial farmers. The study's results recommend a structured extension program to accelerate the downstreaming of agribusiness products.

Abstract

The limited utilization of abundant iron sand in Indonesia highlights the need for efficient methods to produce value-added iron oxide materials. Among them, haematite (alpha-Fe2O3) has promising applications in energy, catalysis, and electronics, but its yield and quality depend strongly on process parameters, such as precipitation pH and calcination temperature. This study aims to optimize the synthesis of alpha-Fe2O3 from iron sand using the extraction–precipitation method by investigating the effects of precipitation pH and calcination temperature on the product yield. Iron sand was dissolved in hydrochloric acid, precipitated with potassium hydroxide at pH 5–9, and calcined at 400–800°C. Two-way ANOVA and response surface methodology (RSM) were applied to evaluate parameter effects and interactions. Results showed that both precipitation pH and calcination temperature significantly influenced yield, with optimum conditions at pH 7 and 600°C producing 18% alpha-Fe2O3. The quadratic RSM model accurately described the process and identified the optimum region. These findings demonstrate the potential of using local iron sand for the sustainable production of high-quality alpha-Fe2O3 for functional applications.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in sustaining the national economy through their contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), job creation, and the strengthening of local economies. However, amidst rapid technological advancements, many MSMEs still face significant operational challenges, particularly regarding financial management. Reliance on manual recording for sales and financial transactions increases the risk of data entry errors and operational inefficiencies. This study aims to design and develop an integrated web-based Point of Sales (POS) system to address these issues. The system was developed using the Waterfall Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model and implemented using the Laravel framework, supported by PHP, JavaScript, and MySQL. System evaluation was conducted through black-box testing to ensure functionality, alongside an analysis of the MSMEs' financial performance. The results demonstrate that the POS system substantially reduces transaction recording errors by automating sales calculations and centralizing data storage, thereby eliminating redundant data entry. This study provides a practical contribution to the digitalization of MSME transaction reporting, enhancing financial accuracy, operational transparency, and supporting effective strategic decision-making for business growth.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of washing methods (swim-up and centrifugation) in an isotonic medium on the quality of Crossbred Etawah (PE) goat sperm. The material used was fresh semen from healthy male PE goats aged 2-3 years. Sperm collection was carried out using an artificial vagina twice a week. Immediately after semen collection, the quality of fresh semen was examined macroscopically and microscopically. Based on the results of this examination, it was declared good and then processed for research. The research method used in this study was a laboratory experiment using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments and seven replicates. The semen was divided into three parts as treatments. P0 was the control without washing. The isotonic solution with andromed medium was treated with P1, which was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 15 minutes, and P2 (sperm swimming in isotonic solution with andromed medium). The variables observed were progressive motility, viability, intact plasma membrane (IPM), and spermatozoa abnormalities. The data were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's post hoc test in SPSS 16. The results showed that the best percentage of motility, viability, intact plasma membrane, and spermatozoa abnormalities in 7-hour storage at room temperature were in P0 at 54.00±8.21, 57.20±8.98, 52.00±7.58, and sperm abnormalities at P1 were slightly better at 5.00±3.31. The analysis between treatments P0 and P1 did not show a significant difference, but treatment P2 showed a significant difference.

Abstract

Biogas purification is essential to increase methane concentration and reduce impurities such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, which decrease calorific value and cause corrosion in energy systems. This study evaluates the effect of absorbent solution type on biogas purification efficiency and absorption durability using chemical absorption methods. Alkaline solutions including sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)?), and their binary mixtures were employed at a concentration of 20% (w/v). Biogas derived from molasses fermentation was passed through bubble column absorbers and analysed using an Orsat apparatus over 2–10 days of absorption. Results show that all absorbents significantly increased methane concentration while reducing CO? and H?S. The highest methane concentration of 86.75% was achieved using KOH on day four, exceeding the Indonesian biogas quality standard (SNI 8019:2014). Absorbent saturation occurred after approximately six days, indicated by declining purification performance. These findings confirm that chemical absorption using alkaline solutions is effective for biogas upgrading, with KOH demonstrating the best overall performance and durability.

Abstract

Strawberries are a high-value horticultural commodity with a short shelf life, which results in involvement of multiple actors along their supply chain and differences in value creation. This study aims to analyze the value added of strawberries at each main supply chain actor in Nagari Balingka, Agam Regency. The research was conducted from January to August 2025 using a survey method involving strawberry farmers, collectors, wholesalers, and retailers. Value-added analysis was carried out using the Hayami method to calculate value added, value-added ratio, profit, and profit rate for each actor. The results show that farmers generate the highest value added, ranging from Rp 22,852 to Rp 57,140 per kg with a value-added ratio of 46-88%, which is classified as high.  In contrast, collectors, wholesalers, and retailers produce lower value-added, with value-added ratios ranging from 7% to 26%, classified as low to moderate. Differences in value added and profits among actors are influenced by raw material prices, selling prices, and other input costs. Overall, the largest value creation in the strawberry supply chain occurs at the farmer level, while downstream actors mainly function as intermediaries with relatively limited margins.
