Abstract

his study aims to analyze the influence of capital structure, financial performance, and macroeconomic conditions on firm value (Tobin's Q) in companies included in the Kompas 100 index (100 companies with good liquidity and large market capitalization) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2018 and 2022. A total of 50 companies with historical data for 5 years were analyzed amounting to 250 observational data. The data analysis method used is panel data regression analysis processed using Eviews software version 10. The results show that financial performance has a significant positive effect on firm value, and capital structure has a negative but not significant effect on firm value. Among the macroeconomic variables, inflation has a negative influence while interest rates have a positive influence, both of which are significant on firm value. However, GDP growth shows an influence that is not significant towards changes in firm value. The determinants of firm value are very complex thus each company needs to identify the key factors influencing them. It is recommended for further research to include corporate governance and firm growth variables.

Abstract

Tortillas are a corn-based snack, yellow, and have a thin shape and crunchy texture. The addition of fish bone meal can increase calcium levels but also decrease the texture of the tortilla. The addition of sodium bicarbonate aims to improve the texture by increasing the swelling power and crispness of the product. This research aims to determine the effect of the substitution of milkfish bone meal with the addition of sodium bicarbonate on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of tortilla chips. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors and two replications, factor I was the concentration of milkfish bone meal (10%, 15%, and 20%) and factor II was the concentration of sodium bicarbonate (0.25%, 0.50 %, and 0.75%). The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and continued with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The results of the research show that there is a real interaction with ash content, protein content, fat content, and calcium content. The research results of the best treatment based on physicochemical parameters were tortilla chips with the addition of fish bone meal 10% and a sodium bicarbonate concentration of 0.75%. This is the best-treated tortilla chip product with a water content value of 5.080%; ash content 2.995%; protein content 5.87%; fat content 5.380%; carbohydrates 82.521%, calcium 3.396%, expansion volume 19.912%; breaking power 278,350 gf; amylose 37.750%; and starch content 62.516%;

Abstract

Tepache is a traditional Mexican beverage crafted from pineapple peels, celebrated for its potent antioxidant properties. This research seeks to evaluate the influence of incorporating gelatin and sucrose on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of jelly candies, while also determining the ideal combination of gelatin and sucrose augmentations that result in a jelly candy preferred by consumers. The experimental design utilized a fully randomized factorial arrangement with two distinct factors. Factor I focused on varying gelatin concentrations of 15%, 25%, and 35%, whereas Factor II involved different stages of sucrose augmentation at 40%, 50%, and 60%. Data analysis was carried out through analysis of variance, followed by the DMRT test in instances of notable variations. The research revealed that the most optimal treatment entailed incorporating 25% gelatin and 60% sucrose, outcoming in jelly candy with a moisture content of 18.55%, ash content of 0.67%, pH of 4.75, vitamin C content of 42.31 mg/100g, the antioxidant activity of 58.55%, omitting sugar content of 13.92%, pattern of 9.25N, and an average liking score, encompassing color (3.36 - neutral), aroma (3.32 - neutral), taste (3.72 - neutral), and pattern (3.76 - neutral).

Abstract

This study analyses the effects of free cash flow, investment opportunities, managerial ownership, and opportunistic managerial behaviour on firm value with firm size as a control variable. The research sample comprises 35 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2018-2022. Data were analysed using panel data regression with a random effects model. The results show that free cash flow has no significant effect on firm value, while investment opportunities have a positive and significant impact. Managerial ownership negatively and significantly affects firm value, indicating potential agency conflicts. Opportunistic managerial behaviour also negatively and substantially affects firm value, reflecting management actions prioritising personal interests. Firm size has no significant effect on firm value. This study provides insights into the optimal management of factors such as investment opportunities, ownership structure, and managerial conduct, which are crucial to enhancing firm value and shareholder interests.

Abstract

Catfish nuggets are a type of processed restructured fish meat, namely catfish meat (Clarias sp) which is ground and seasoned, steamed then covered with flour adhesive, breadcrumb coating (breading), and fried. In this research, the manufacture of catfish nuggets with the addition of tomato paste was studied. Tomato paste is used to improve color, texture, fiber addition, and the addition of antioxidant compounds in catfish nuggets. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the addition of tomato paste on the quality and organoleptic properties of catfish nuggets, and to estimate the shelf life of catfish nuggets products with the addition of tomato paste in the best treatment. This study used a single-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Where the factor is the concentration of tomato paste added consisting of six levels (0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% w/b). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and BNT further test at 5% level and organoleptic test using scoring test with 25 trained panelists. The treatment of adding 30% concentration of tomato paste is the best treatment that produces tomato paste catfish nuggets with moisture content of 59.974% ± 0.495, ash content of 1.991% ± 0.120, protein content of 7.840% ± 0.092, fat content of 1.583% ± 0.271, carbohydrate content 28.612% ± 0.742, crude fiber content 0.413% ± 0.025, vitamin C content 4.713 mg/100g ± 0.042, and organoleptic test color 4.36 (slightly yellow), texture 4.44 (slightly chewy), aroma 3.84 (slightly pleasant) and taste 3.92 (slightly savory). The best catfish nuggets with 30% paste addition had a shelf life of 12 days at 25°C, a shelf life of 94 days at 3°C, and a shelf life of 474 days at -12°C.
