Abstract

To enhance the intensity of chrysanthemum cultivation across different regions, further investigation is required regarding implementing suitable technology. This technology should be developed using local resources specific to chrysanthemum flowers to enhance their quality and value. Additionally, it should leverage readily applicable resources that align with farmers' capabilities, ultimately leading to a substantial increase in income. This study aims to acquire diverse organic materials suitable for chrysanthemum production in specific locations to examine the impact of different dosages on enhancing quality outcomes. The research methodology employed in this study is a Nested Experiments approach with a Random Design of Factorial Groups. Three types of organic sources are commonly utilized, namely: 1. organic matter derived from rasamala leaf litter (S), and 2. Chrysanthemum harvest residue (P). The study focuses on the effects of Chrysanthemums (P) and hydroponic media residue (H) on different types of organic matter with varying doses. The doses are nested within the different sources of organic matter. The findings indicated that the application of different sources of organic matter did not have statistically significant effects on the investigated variables, except the blossom diameter (cm), which exhibited a significant impact. The impact of different doses on the organic matter of various types of leaf litter had a notable influence on all observed variables. Specifically, a dose of 15 tons ha-1 resulted in the highest yield of economic flowers, with a fresh weight of 89.93 g. This represented a 17.01% increase compared to the lowest yield observed at a dose of 5 tons ha-1, which yielded 74.63 g. The relationship between different doses of organic matter remaining from chrysanthemum harvest and various observed variables was statistically significant. Specifically, a dose of 6 tons ha-1 resulted in the highest fresh weight yield of economically valuable flowers, measuring 94.89 g. This yield was 19.89% higher than the lowest yield observed with a dose of 2 tons ha-1, which measured 76.02 g. The impact of different doses on various types of organic matter in hydroponic media does not substantially influence all observable variables except for blossom diameter, which demonstrates a notable effect.

Abstract

Packaging has become very important. Packaging no longer functions as a container for wrapping food or beverage products to protect them from dirt, dust, air, impact, and sunlight. It is also a promotional tool to attract buyers' interest. In general, processed livestock products are used for traditional ceremonies. As a tourism area, many domestic and foreign tourists also like Bali's processed livestock products, so the quality of these processed products needs to be improved along with developments in science and technology. Increasing income from the marketing process of processed livestock products will encourage groups of women farmers, who are a source of good fortune, to produce processed traditional food products in greater quantities. Consumers will choose products with attractive packaging compared to plain, simple, and unattractive packaging. The Sumber Rejeki Women's Farmers Group produces traditional food preparations, including Benyah Lab-Lab, Pork Sausage, Chicken Sausage, and Tum. The marketing management process for traditional processed food products produced by partners is very constrained, especially in product packaging, where packaging is crucial in product marketing. The main problem that will be the focus of problem-solving is how to make good packaging that can attract consumers to buy the product.The methods used are presentations and demonstration plots, as well as direct practice in making traditional processed products and packaging processed products produced by partners. It is hoped that the results of this activity will increase the knowledge of the group of women farmers as sources of good fortune and be able to market their products so that the group's income increases. Increasing group income will achieve group prosperity.

Abstract

Gummy candy is a soft confectionery crafted from fruit juice, sugar, and gelling agents, known for its chewy texture. The utilization of dragon fruit juice enhances its nutritional value due to its antioxidant properties, phenolic compounds, and vitamin C content. Additionally, it aims to diversify products derived from dragon fruit. Meanwhile, the utilization of collagen from apple snails seeks to boost the economic value of these snails and provide an alternative source of collagen raw material. In this study, the gummy candy uses carrageenan as a hydrocolloid material to establish the chewy texture. This study's primary objective is to determine the optimal combination involving the proportion of dragon fruit juice, apple snail collagen extract, and carrageenan concentration for producing high-quality gummy candy. The research employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a two-factor factorial pattern and two replications. The first factor was the proportion of dragon fruit juice to apple snail collagen (70:30, 75:25, and 80:20), while the second factor was the carrageenan concentration (3%, 5%, and 7% w/w). Observational data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and if interactions were observed, they were further assessed with Tukey's test at a significance level of 5%. The treatment combination of a 75:25 proportion of dragon fruit juice to apple snail collagen and a 7% carrageenan concentration proved to be the most effective, yielding gummy candy with a moisture content of 13.21%, ash content of 0.95%, and organoleptic evaluation scores for aroma, taste, color, and texture of 3.25, 3.4, 3.4, and 3.7.

Abstract

The world is actively pursuing renewable energy resources to combat environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Solar energy is the most abundant, continuously available form of renewable energy, and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are being explored as an alternative to traditional silicon-based solar cells due to their low cost of materials, ease of production, and efficiency. The photoanode is a crucial component in DSSCs, and the main challenges faced by these solar cells are charge recombination and low light harvesting ability. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of natural dyes as the sensitizer for the fabrication of DSSCs. Natural pigments were extracted from Inthanin leaves using the solvent extraction technique. The concentration and composition of the pigment were analyzed through pigment analysis utilizing UV a spectrophotometer. Inthanin has a higher chlorophyll a to b ratio. A higher chlorophyll a to b ratio has been shown to be associated with improved light harvesting and electron transport efficiency. This is because chlorophyll a is more efficient at transferring electrons to the electron transport chain than chlorophyll b. The higher chlorophyll a to b ratio could lead to improved electron transfer to the photoanode. The photoelectric parameters of the DSSC were evaluated using I-V characterization. DSSCs coated with Inthanin dye extract produced a short circuit current density (Jsc) of 0.02 mA/cm2, open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.07 V, fill factor (FF) of 33% and an efficiency (????) of 0.1%.
