Abstract

Sulfate (SO?²?) is a major inorganic pollutant in distillation washwater with concentrations of 4,000–6,000 mg/L and the potential to form H?S during anaerobic processes. This study investigated sulfate removal using biochar derived from biogas digestate. The biochar was produced by carbonization at 600 °C for 1.5 h and applied as an adsorbent with masses of 1–3 g and contact times of 20–100 min. BET, SEM-EDX, and FTIR analyses showed that the biochar had a mesoporous structure with a surface area of 140 m²/g, pore volume of 0.155 cm³/g, pore diameter of 4.43 nm, mineral content of Ca, K, and Mg, and active functional groups. Adsorption efficiency increased until reaching an optimum at 2 g adsorbent and 60 min contact time with an efficiency of 88.7605%, then decreased due to adsorption equilibrium and ion competition. Isotherm analysis indicated that the adsorption process followed the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 232.558 mg SO?²?/g, indicating monolayer adsorption on a homogeneous surface.

Abstract

The increasing demand for natural flavor enhancers has encouraged the development of alternatives to synthetic monosodium glutamate (MSG). This study evaluated the physicochemical properties and sensory acceptance of a bromelain-hydrolyzed seasoning powder formulated from oyster (Crassostrea sp.), oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) with the addition of spices. A completely randomized factorial design was applied using two factors: the proportion of oyster, oyster mushroom, and tomato, and spice concentration. The evaluated parameters included protein content, moisture content, ash content, water solubility index (WSI), yield, sensory acceptance, zinc content, and glutamic acid content. The results showed that raw material proportion significantly affected all physicochemical characteristics, while spice concentration significantly influenced protein content and WSI. Significant interactions between both factors were observed for moisture content, ash content, and yield. Sensory evaluation indicated significant differences in taste and overall acceptance among treatments. The optimum formulation consisted of oyster, oyster mushroom, and tomato in a 40:40:20 proportion, with a 3% spice concentration, producing a seasoning powder containing 15.30% protein, 3.98% moisture, 6.75% ash, 20.75% yield, 166.7 mg/kg zinc, and 18,307.70 ppm glutamic acid. These findings demonstrate the potential of bromelain hydrolysis to produce a natural seasoning powder rich in zinc and glutamic acid, with desirable physicochemical and sensory characteristics; the appetite-supporting potential suggested by these compounds remains hypothetical and requires confirmation through future biological or clinical studies.

Abstract

Mellorine is a frozen dessert with characteristics similar to ice cream but containing a lower fat content. The incorporation of pomegranate is intended to enhance its nutritional value. Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is recognized as a potential functional food due to its high content of bioactive compounds and health benefits, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities. Inulin is a soluble dietary fiber that benefits the host by stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. This study aimed to determine the effects of pomegranate juice concentration and the addition of inulin on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of prebiotic pomegranate mellorine, and to identify the best treatment to produce optimal product characteristics and consumer acceptability as a functional mellorine. Variations in pomegranate juice concentration and inulin addition were applied. The physicochemical parameters included crude fiber, vitamin C, viscosity, overrun, total soluble solids, and melting time, while sensory attributes included color, aroma, taste, and texture. The results showed that pomegranate juice concentration and inulin addition significantly affected several characteristics of prebiotic pomegranate mellorine. The best treatment, consisting of 75% pomegranate juice and 6% inulin, produced mellorine with 0.34% crude fiber, 15.97% vitamin C, 218.25 mPa·s viscosity, 39.01% overrun, 27.75 °Brix total soluble solids, and a melting time of 20.04 minutes, with favorable sensory acceptance. Further analysis showed 3.16% dietary fiber, 2.95 × 10? CFU/mL prebiotic activity, 4.71% fat, and 23.12 mg/100 g anthocyanin.Top of FormBottom of Form Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 2: Zero HungeSDG 3: Good Health and Well-beingSDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and InfrastructureSDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

Abstract

Fermented fishery products are traditional foods widely produced across various regions and undergo complex biochemical changes during processing. One of the main changes determining product quality in proteolysis, the process of protein degradation into peptides, free amino acids, and other nitrogenous compounds that contribute to the development of flavor, aroma, texture, and food safety. Until now, the evaluation of protein changes in fermented fishery products has been dominated by conventional approaches such as total protein analysis, amino acid profiling, and soluble nitrogen parameters, which only capture the final outcome of proteolytic processing. This review aims to examine the potential of proteomic approaches in understanding protein transformation during the fermentation of fishery products. The findings indicate that liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) base proteomic approaches are capable of comprehensively identifying and quantifying proteins and peptides, including changes in their abundance during fermentation. The integration of proteomic data with bioinformatics analysis has the potential to elucidate the relationships among microbial activity, protein transformation, and the development of product quality characteristics. Therefore, proteomics has the potential to become an important approach for advancing research on fishery fermentation at the molecular level.

Abstract

The high level of corn production in Lampung Province has the potential to generate a large amount of corncob agricultural waste. Corncobs are lignocellulosic residues with a high cellulose content, making them a promising raw material for the production of biodegradable bioplastics. This study aimed to produce and characterize corncob cellulose–based bioplastics combined with chitosan as active packaging to extend the shelf life of food products, particularly pempek. Cellulose was extracted through acid hydrolysis, delignification, alkalization, and bleaching processes, and subsequently formulated into bioplastic films using the solution casting method with varying cellulose concentrations. The bioplastics were characterized in terms of thickness, tensile strength, elongation, biodegradability, and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR). The results showed that increasing cellulose content led to an increase in bioplastic thickness and tensile strength, while elongation and biodegradability decreased. Bioplastic thickness increased from 0.18 mm to 0.25 mm, and tensile strength increased from 0.96 MPa to 7.55 MPa with higher cellulose content. Meanwhile, elongation decreased from 98.6% to 45.21%, and biodegradability declined from 38.91% to 23.61%. In addition, the WVTR decreased to 0.021 g/m²·h at the highest cellulose concentration, indicating improved water vapor barrier properties. These findings suggest that corncob cellulose–based bioplastics with chitosan have strong potential to be developed as environmentally friendly active packaging for food products requiring mechanical protection and moisture control.

Abstract

Lump is one of the processed rubber materials derived from latex of rubber trees and clusters of latex obtained from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree. Generally, lumps can be utilized as the basic material for component manufacturing. In the production of component products, additives such as filling materials, vulcanization agents, plasticizers, activators, antioxidants, and accelerators are required. This research utilizes EFB charcoal as a filling material in the production of rubber components to substitute carbon black, which will be used as a motorcycle footrest pad. The objective of this study is to analyze the characteristics of rubber components for motorcycle footrest pads with EFB filler as a filling material, and to obtain the best formulation in rubber component manufacturing that meets the hardness test parameters according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The method used is a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with one factor, namely the rubber component formula. This study consists of 5 treatments repeated 4 times, resulting in 20 experimental units. The results of the study showed that the physical and mechanical properties of each substitution treatment had the same characteristics with a reduction or decrease in test results for each test parameter carried out. However, based on the test results for each test parameter carried out, there were only 4 treatments that were still included in the SNI standard for hardness tests for step motors, namely F1 (0:60), F2(10:50), F3(20:40) and F4(30:30).. While the F5(40:20)treatment was still below the SNI standard. The best treatment was still obtained in the F2(10:50) treatment with a hardness value of 69.05 Shore A.

Abstract

This study investigates the enhancement of seawater NaCl concentration using a combination of ion exchange pretreatment and spray-assisted heating as an alternative method for a more efficient and sustainable salt concentration process. The novelty of this study lies in the utilization of Dowex cation and anion exchange resin pretreatment prior to the spray heating process to reduce impurity ions that may affect the NaCl concentration process. This study aims to analyze the effect of nozzle-to-heating plate distance variations (16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 cm) and spraying flow rates (25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 60, and 70 L/h) on the increase of seawater %Brix values. Before the concentration process, seawater was pretreated using Dowex cation and anion exchange resins for 25 minutes to reduce impurity ion content. The results showed that the optimum operating condition was achieved at a nozzle distance of 16 cm and a spraying flow rate of 45 L/h for 5 hours, resulting in a maximum concentration of 15 %Brix. The concentration enhancement was also indicated by the darker color of the solution due to the increase in dissolved solids content. Scientifically, this study demonstrates that ion exchange pretreatment followed by spray heating can improve the effectiveness of seawater concentration. Furthermore, this method has the potential to be applied in the salt industry as a more energy-efficient alternative technology, supporting the improvement of national salt raw material quality and contributing to the development of more sustainable salt production processes.

Abstract

Plectranthus scutellarioides (L.) R.Br., commonly known as Coleus scutellarioides, has been traditionally recognized for its medicinal properties, yet the synergy between its antioxidant capacity and its antibacterial efficacy against clinical pathogens, using modern extraction techniques remains limited and underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity and antibacterial efficacy of the ethanol extract of P. scutellarioides leaves against Staphylococcus aureus. The extract was obtained by ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) using 96% ethanol as the solvent. Antioxidant activity was assessed through DPPH radical scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The antibacterial potential was determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) using the dilution method. The ethanolic extract of P. scutellarioides exhibited antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 154.54 ppm for DPPH and 146.47 ppm for FRAP assays, compared to vitamin C controls with IC50 values of 3.54 ppm and 3.57 ppm, respectively. Furthermore, the extract showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus with MIC and MBC values of 1.95 mg/mL and 3.90 mg/mL, respectively. These findings demonstrate that the ethanol extract of P. scutellarioides leaves possesses moderate antioxidant and significant antibacterial activities, highlighting its potential as a natural source for therapeutic agents.

Abstract

Cow manure waste at Subak Mertasari, Jembrana, Bali, was largely unprocessed and applied raw to agricultural fields, causing slow nutrient release and environmental contamination. This community service program responded to that problem by introducing a nutrient-enrichment method for cow manure-based organic compost, using biochar, effective microorganisms (EM4), molasses, agricultural lime (dolomite), and NPK fertilizer as enrichment agents. Twenty subak members took part across five implementation stages: socialization, technical training, compost production, quality monitoring, and business sustainability. Biomass waste was first converted to porous biochar through pyrolysis, then co-composted with inoculated cow manure over roughly 30 days. The resulting fertilizer met SNI 19-7030-2004 criteria: dark brown to black, crumbly, moisture below 20%, and free of offensive odor. Biochar addition raised soil pH and cation exchange capacity (CEC) while locking carbon in a stable form that limits greenhouse gas release. On the socio-economic side, farmers gained the skills to produce fertilizer independently, and a cooperative-based business unit was established for commercial distribution. These results show that integrated compost enrichment is a practical and scalable approach to sustainable agriculture in Bali.

Abstract

Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) oil is Indonesia's flagship essential oil export commodity, yet its extraction faces persistent challenges of low yield, substandard quality, and high energy consumption. This study optimized patchouli oil extraction using Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) through a completely randomized factorial design examining two particle sizes (fine: <5 mm; coarse: 20–50 mm) and two extraction power levels (700 W and 800 W), each replicated three times. Particle size significantly affected oil yield (p = 0.006) and working capacity (p = 0.006), while extraction power showed no significant effect. The coarse particle–800 W combination yielded the highest average yield (4.88%) and the lowest production cost (IDR 8,716.53/ml), while fine particle–800 W achieved the highest patchouli alcohol (PA) content (39.14%). All treatments exceeded the SNI 06-2385-2006 minimum PA requirement of 30%. A regression model was derived: y = 4.657 + 0.040x=0.001x2 (R² = 0.5983). The coarse particle–800 W treatment is identified as the technically and economically optimal condition for MAE-based patchouli extraction.
