Abstract

In this study, jelly drink was produced using lamtoro gung seed juice as a plant-based protein source, proportioned with pineapple juice to enhance aroma and flavor, and kappa carrageenan as a hydrocolloid to form the gel texture of the jelly drink. This study was an experimental research aimed at determining the effects of the proportions of lamtoro gung juice and pineapple juice, as well as the addition of kappa carrageenan, on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of the jelly drink. The study employed a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors and two replications. Factor I was the proportion of lamtoro gung juice to pineapple juice (60:40, 50:50, and 40:60), while Factor II was the concentration of kappa carrageenan (0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.4%). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The best treatment was obtained from the proportion of lamtoro gung juice to pineapple juice of 40:60 with the addition of 0.4% carrageenan. This treatment exhibited favorable physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics, including moisture content (77.575%), total solids (22.675%), pH (4.69), total soluble solids (21 °Brix), protein content (0.935%), antioxidant activity (63.12%), vitamin C content (17.89%), syneresis (39.345%), viscosity (630), and hedonic scores for color 3.84 (neutral to slightly liked), aroma 3.36 (neutral to slightly liked), taste 3.84 (neutral to slightly liked), and texture 3.84 (neutral to slightly liked).

Abstract

Restructuring is the process of recombining crushed materials into new products with the help of binding agent. The use of sodium alginate as a binding agent and the addition of liquid smoke are expected to improve the character of catfish jerky during restructuring. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sodium alginate and liquid smoke addition to physical, chemical and organoleptic properties on the quality of restructuring catfish jerky. This study used a Complete Randomised Design factorial pattern with two factors: calcium alginate concentration (0,5%, 0,75%, 1%) and liquid smoke concentration (1%, 2%, 3%). The data obtained were then analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). If there were differences, the Duncan multiple range test (DMRT) was carried out. The research results indicate that there was an interaction between the concentrations of sodium alginate and liquid smoke, with each significantly affecting the yield, moisture content, ash content, protein content, and hardness of the restructured catfish jerky produced. Sensory evaluation showed significant effects on texture, taste, and colour parameters, but no significant effect on aroma.

Abstract

This research aims to develop an optimization model that systematically integrates key factors such as price, supplier capacity, Minimum order quantity (MOQ), and ordering costs into a single decision framework. The model was developed using the Capacitated Allocation Supplier Model (CASM) based on Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) with a 12-period horizon (January–December 2025). The objective is to determine the optimal combination of supplier selection and order quantity allocation that minimizes total procurement costs while ensuring supply continuity. The results indicate that the CASM–MILP model successfully reduces total procurement costs from IDR 1.671.889.794,10 to IDR 1.350.088.510, yielding IDR 321.801.284,10, or 19,25% savings. Although the percentage appears modest, the savings are significant since they are achieved without disrupting production schedules or packaging availability. Moreover, the proposed model enhances transparency and rationality in decision-making and lays the foundation for future data-driven procurement systems. Overall, this research demonstrates that the MILP-based optimization approach effectively improves cost efficiency in multi-item and multi-period procurement systems, offering practical contributions for industry management and theoretical insights for operations management studies.

Abstract

Almond crispy is a thin, round cookie characterized by a crunchy texture and a topping of almonds and grated cheese. This study aimed to analyze the sensory profile of almond crispy made from a combination of pedada fruit flour, mocaf flour, and anchovy flour using the Rate All That Apply (RATA) method to identify consumer preferences. Nine formulations were tested with varying ratios of pedada and mocaf flours (5%, 10%, 15%) and different levels of anchovy flour (5%, 10%, 15%). Sensory evaluation involved panellist questionnaires, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and sensory tests. Data were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), preference mapping, and Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn’s test at a 5% significance level. Results indicated that samples P0T0 and P1T1 were preferred, exhibiting milky and roasted aromas, milky and sweet tastes, crunchy textures, bright colours, and dry mouthfeels. These findings provide insights into optimizing almond-crispy formulations based on consumer sensory preferences.

Abstract

Fish bonggolan is a traditional fish-based snack from Sidayu District, Gresik Regency, produced by local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Variations in raw material composition and processing methods among producers lead to differences in sensory characteristics and consumer acceptance. This study aimed to identify the sensory attribute profiles of fish bonggolan from six different MSMEs in Sidayu District using the Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) method and to determine sensory attributes influencing consumer preferences. Sensory attributes were identified through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving 10 semi-trained panellists, yielding 17 attributes grouped into aroma, colour, taste, and texture parameters. Sensory evaluation was conducted by untrained panelists using the RATA method combined with a hedonic test. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s post hoc test, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and preference mapping. The results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in most sensory attributes among samples, except for leafy aroma and umami taste. PCA revealed distinct sensory profiles for each sample. Preference mapping indicated that sample P2 achieved the highest consumer liking score (80–100%), while sample P6 showed the lowest liking score (20–40%). These findings demonstrate that specific sensory attributes strongly influence consumer acceptance and may serve as a basis for product improvement and market standardization of fish bonggolan.

Abstract

Shrimp crackers are a traditional food that is quite popular among the public. The ingredients used in making shrimp crackers include tapioca flour, shrimp, eggs, sugar, salt, and garlic. The composition and proportion of the raw materials used in shrimp crackers can affect the sensory profile characteristics of the resulting shrimp crackers. This study aims to determine the sensory profile of shrimp crackers and consumer preferences for shrimp crackers from five producers with varying proportions of shrimp and tapioca flour. The sensory profile of shrimp crackers was determined using the Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) method, which produced 12 sensory attributes, namely seafood aroma, fatty aroma, white color, golden brown color, crunchy texture, dense texture, shrimp flavor, savory flavor, salty flavor, sweet flavor, gritty mouthfeel, and throat irritation mouthfeel. The best sample, based on consumer preference, was sample 964DM, with dominant sensory attributes including seafood aroma, shrimp flavour, savoury flavour, sweet flavour, salty flavour, and dense texture. In sample 964DM, the percentage of shrimp used was the highest among the other samples, at 25%. The panellists' preference results show that sample 964DM is preferred by 80-100% of the panellists.

Abstract

Wastewater from the Sludge Treatment Plant (IPLT) often contains hazardous contaminants that can pollute water bodies if discharged without prior treatment. Wastewater treatment from the IPLT, especially the Oxidation Ditch outlet, can be carried out using one of the Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), namely Fenton. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Fotofenton method in the Oxidation Ditch outlet unit of the Keputih IPLT, Surabaya, on total coliform, COD, and TSS parameters. The total coliform removal percentage was 98%, the COD parameters were 82%, and the TSS parameters were 60% at a dose of FeSO4: H2O2 molar ratio of 1:15, UV lamp power of 20 watts, and sampling time of 60 minutes. This study demonstrates that the Fotofenton method can be an environmentally friendly solution for wastewater treatment from IPLT and can be applied as an advanced treatment stage to meet applicable quality standards.

Abstract

Population growth in Indonesia poses sanitation challenges, where Sewage Sludge Treatment Plants (IPLT) provide a solution for sewage waste treatment. However, IPLTs themselves still face obstacles in optimally removing contaminants such as ammonia, Total coliform bacteria, and COD. This study evaluates the effectiveness of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) combining hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet light (H2O2-UV) in degrading these three pollutants. The wastewater used in this study came from the outlet of the Final Clarifier unit. The experiments were conducted in a continuous reactor with varying concentrations of H2O2 (0.1%-0.7%) and UV light contact time (15-45 minutes). The results showed that the highest degradation efficiency was achieved at a H?O? concentration of 0.7% for 45 minutes, with a removal percentage of 99.24% for Total Coliform bacteria and 88.32% for Ammonia. However, for COD, the highest degradation efficiency was achieved at a concentration of 0.5% for 45 minutes with a removal percentage of 79.55%. These results prove that the H2O2-UV process is effective in degrading IPLT wastewater pollutant mixtures through the production of non-selective hydroxyl radicals (•OH).

Abstract

Industrial batik wastewater contains dyes and organic compounds at high concentrations,posing a potential threat to aquatic environments. This study aims to evaluate theeffectiveness of electrocoagulation using series and parallel monopolar electrodeconfigurations in reducing the levels of methylene blue, methyl red, and chemical oxygendemand (COD) in batik wastewater. The process was carried out in batches, withvariations in electrode configuration, voltages of 6 and 9 volts, and contact times of 30–90 minutes, using aluminium and iron electrodes. Color concentration analysis wasperformed using UV–Vis spectrophotometry, while COD was analyzed using the closedreflux method. The results showed that increasing the voltage and contact time improvedthe removal efficiency of all parameters. The parallel monopolar configuration providedthe best performance, with reduction efficiencies of 95.23% for methylene blue, 90.02%for methyl red, and 71.21% for COD. This was influenced by a more even currentdistribution and more effective coagulant formation. Parallel monopolarelectrocoagulation has the potential to be applied as an alternative method for treatingbatik wastewater.Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 3: Good Health and Well-BeingSDG 6: Clean Water and SanitationSDG 11: Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesSDG 14: Life Below Water
