Abstract

The rising demand for Siam Kintamani oranges is driven by heightened public health awareness. Its bioactive components benefit human health, but their quality is swiftly deteriorating. Oranges must be preserved using the Nanocoating-konjac application procedure. Nanocoating-konjac is an immersion-applied natural preservative solution derived from konjac. Efforts to develop the autonomy and welfare of a community are made through village community empowerment. The Woman’s Farmer Group (KWT) Mekar-Sari (partners) is a group of women cultivators in the village of Pengejaran, Kintamani District, Bali Province, Indonesia, who require assistance to increase the shelf life of Siamese oranges. Using Nanocoating-konjac as a natural preservative for Siamese oranges can support community service objectives, such as enhancing (both soft and hard) skills and forming/developing economically and socially independent communities. By engaging in community service, partners gain the knowledge and abilities to manage natural resources and an entrepreneurial spirit, expanding their business and marketing opportunities. Community service activities are conducted through training using lecture methods, discussions, demonstrations, queries and answers, while an evaluation is carried out after handling the program. Seventy percent of the twenty group members who participated in community service had never preserved Siamese oranges, while thirty percent had done so. After participating in these activities, all members understand the materials and procedures, and they continue to apply nanocoating to citrus fruits based on what is marketed. Coating citrus fruits with nano-konjac adds value and becomes a community income source.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a fast and low-cost detection method to determine the difference between hard shell capsule on supplement products containing pork or non-pork gelatin by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Partial Component Analysis (PCA). Twelve samples of hardshell capsules were used, among which Eight samples were pure made from pork and some of them adulterated with cow. The samples were detected before using real-time PCR to determine the identity of the samples. All the gelatin samples were measured with the FTIR spectrophotometer in the re?ection mode. Spectra were collected in the wavenumber range from 4000-650 cm-1. The results show that the PCA model with the data were pre-processed before PCA was performed. The absorbance data from FTIR were pre-processed using Savitsky-Golay smoothing technique and continued with normalization by peak normalize before subjected to PCA. This newly developed method is fast, involves simple sample preparation and is low cost.

Abstract

Coffee skin is one of the wastes generated from coffee bean processing which is still potentially used as animal feed through the fermentation process, especially for goats as ruminants. Coffee skin fermentation using local micro-organisms (LMO) produces the best quality, and the provision of 10% substitution has a significant effect on the growth of pigs. The purpose of this study was to be able to determine the response to the appearance of prospective parent goats given fermented coffee husk waste as additional feed to their growth before the reproductive phase. The method used in achieving these objectives is the experimental design method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments, namely: without additional coffee husk (Ko), giving coffee skin 5% (K1), 10% (K2), and 15% (K3) and each treatment was repeated 3 times. The basic feed given is in the form of forage mixed with grass and legumes, and coffee skin is given before being given forage. The results showed that giving fermented coffee skins additional feed had a significant effect (P<0.05) on body weight gain. The higher the level of fermented coffee peels the higher the average added weight until the level of 15% (K3) showed the best results with an additional body weight of 211g/day, but not significantly different (P> 0.05) with K1, and K2. From this study, it can be concluded that the provision of fermented coffee skin waste as additional feed has a significant effect on the additional body weight of goats up to a level of 15%.

Abstract

Belantih Village, located in the Kintamani District of the Bangli Regency, is recognized for its substantial citrus fruit potential. The majority of the local population in this region engage in citrus farming as their primary means of income. The lack of knowledge among citrus growers in Belantih Village about the processing of citrus fruits into long-lasting processed products is evident. The primary objective of the community service activities is to enhance knowledge and expertise in the processing of citrus fruits into value-added products, hence extending their shelf life and augmenting their economic worth. The implementation of counseling and mentorship programs, technological transfer initiatives, and training sessions focused on the processing of oranges into jam. The individuals included in this study were members of the women farmer group known as "Widya Pertiwi". The service activity consists of several steps, including the provision of materials and demonstrations on citrus processing, followed by a final evaluation in the form of a post-test administered through the distribution of questionnaires. The outcomes of counseling and training revealed that participants, utilizing the experiential learning approach and training, expressed their ability to comprehend and effectively execute the processing of citrus fruits into various culinary derivatives. This skill acquisition was particularly beneficial during periods of abundant fruit harvest, as it allowed for the generation of increased value and income. The findings of the study indicated a significant improvement in general knowledge. Specifically, 93.33% of participants reported a clear understanding, while the remaining 6.67% expressed comprehension regarding the processing of citrus fruits into value-added products following the completion of the service activities. Notably, no respondents reported a lack of understanding or confusion. The findings indicate that all participants belonging to the Women Farmers group have a keen interest in enhancing their competencies and implementing citrus fruit processing techniques to produce jam products. This approach aims to mitigate fruit rotting during periods of ample fruit availability.

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.
