Abstract

Fruit leather is a delectable treat crafted from pureed and dehydrated fruit. Carica fruit (Carica pubescens) contains fiber and pectin, which are requirements for making fruit leather. Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) was added as an acid in the gel formation. The addition of carrageenan is expected to improve the plasticity of fruit leather. One of the qualities of fruit leather is determined by its shelf life. This study seeks to assess the physicochemical and organoleptic attributes of carica and lime fruit leather, as well as to analyze the estimation of shelf life resulting from the optimal treatment. Factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors was utilized in the study. Factor I involved the ratio of carica puree to lime juice (95:5, 90:10, 85:15), while factor II consisted of different carrageenan concentrations (0,3%, 0,6%, 0,9%) with two replications. The results were documented in English. The data was subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at a significance level of 5%. The most effective treatment was found to be a blend of 95% carica puree to 5% lime juice, combined with 0.9% carrageenan. The test results revealed a moisture content of 15,33%, crude fiber content of 2,55%, pH level of 4.65, tensile strength of 4,45 N, vitamin C concentration of 12,20 mg/100g, antioxidant activity of 25,23%, color intensity of 3,24 (neutral), aroma profile of 3,04 (neutral), taste rating of 4,00 (like), texture score of 3,12 (neutral), total dietary fiber content of 4,45%, and an estimated shelf life of 70 days at 10⁰C (under refrigeration), 10 days at 30⁰C (at room temperature), and 3 days at 50⁰C.

Abstract

The income level will influence household spending patterns. In conditions of limited income, low-income or poor households will prioritise allocating their income to buying food. This income will be used to spend on food for survival so it will affect the quantity and quality of household food consumption. Good quality food consumption indicates that nutritional adequacy levels are met. This research analyses the factors influencing household food consumption patterns in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency. This research used a survey method and was carried out in three sub-districts in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency, namely Kemala Raja, Sekar Jaya and Tanjung Baru Villages. The method for determining respondents is random sampling using the Parell et all (1973) formula with the statement if the variance of the total population is unknown, so the best way to determine the sample is to use a percentage of the entire population, namely 2%, 5%, 10%, 20% or 50% of the population. The population is 2126 families, obtained by 2%, namely 42.52 and determined to be 43 families. This research used multiple linear regression models to determine the factors influencing food consumption patterns using multiple linear analyses. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the factors that influence household food consumption patterns in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency, are income (X1), number of family members (X2), age (X3), and education level (X4). The variable that has the most influence on household food consumption patterns in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency, is the income level variable (X1). Simultaneously or together, the income variable (X1), number of family members (X2), age (X3), and education level (X4) has a significant influence. R2 showed this with a value of 97.9%.

Abstract

East OKU Regency, located in South Sumatra, is one of the largest catfish producers through pond cultivation. Recently, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries designated East OKU Regency as a center for catfish farming, a status formally recognized by officials from South Sumatra and East OKU Regency. The catfish cultivation village spans 1,200 hectares and produces 30 tons annually. To ensure sustainable and environmentally friendly aquaculture practices, and to enhance fish farmers' incomes, effective development strategies are necessary. This research explores strategies for developing aquaculture villages in East OKU Regency. The study employs a case study method, focusing on Belitang District as a representative example of an aquaculture village in South Sumatra Province. A simple random sampling method was used to select 90 farmer groups from a population of 900 fish farmers. The research data were processed and analyzed using SWOT analysis to identify strategies for advancing fish farming villages in East OKU Regency. The findings suggest that the optimal development strategy (SO Strategy) involves providing training and skills related to technology and production systems to boost catfish output. Additionally, strengthening cultivator group institutions is crucial for facilitating the adoption of product quality standards and improving production quality to meet market demands.

Abstract

Vermicelli, a form of food diversification from rice, was investigated in this study using modified rice flour and white corn flour (Zea mays L). The modification of white corn flour, employing the BIMO-CF starter containing various lactic acid bacteria, aimed to increase amylose levels. Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) was added to improve the vermicelli's physical properties, including stickiness, color, hardness, and chewiness. A 2-factor Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with two replicates was utilized. Data were analyzed using ANOVA at a 5% significance level, followed by a DMRT 5% post-hoc test if significant effects were observed. Results demonstrated significant interactions between the proportions of rice flour, modified white corn flour, and STPP on vermicelli’s water content, ash content, protein content, starch content, amylose content, elasticity, and rehydration power. The optimal treatment was a combination of rice flour and modified white corn flour in a 50:50 ratio with 0.3% STPP, resulting in vermicelli with 8.65% water content, 0.72% ash content, 5.60% protein content, 52.5% elasticity, 127.5% rehydration power, and average sensory scores of 4.04 for color, 4.20 for aroma, 3.88 for taste, and 4.16 for texture, indicating favorable consumer acceptance.

Abstract

Intermittent irrigation is one of the rice cultivation technologies developed in Indonesia and the world. This study aims to determine the interaction between superior rice varieties with a watering system and rhizobacteria population dynamics, root development, and rice yield. This research was conducted for four months. The study used experimental methods on land compiled with a Factorial 3x4 Strip-Plot experiment design with a Completely Randomized Block Design (RCBD). Factor I is a watering system consisting of 3 treatments i.e. conventional irrigation, intermittent irrigation ten days of dry 5-day watering, and intermittent irrigation seven days of dry 3-day watering. Factor II is rice varieties consisting of 4 i.e. Cempo Merah, Inpari 23, Sintanur, and Inpari 42. The results showed no interaction between the irrigation system and rice varieties to rhizobacteria populations, rooting, and rice yields. The 7-day drying watering system has a relatively larger population of Rhizobacteria in week 16 and increases the length of the roots than other watering treatments. Intermittent irrigation provides grain weight per clump, which is no different from conventional irrigation. Inpari 23 rice varieties have a population of Rhizobacteria week 16 more and weigh 1000 seeds higher than the varieties Inpari 42. The yield of superior rice varieties Inpari 23, Sintanur, and Inpari 42 is higher than Local Cempo Merah rice varieties. Inpari 23, Sintanur, and Inpari 42 varieties can be cultivated by intermittent irrigation.

Abstract

Mackerel (Rastelliger Sp.) is a small pelagic fish commonly consumed as a source of animal protein. Due to its high susceptibility to spoilage, effective storage and the use of natural preservatives are essential to extend its shelf life. Japanese papaya leaf powder, which contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, has potential as a natural preservative due to its antimicrobial properties. This study aims to evaluate the optimal combination of Japanese papaya leaf powder concentration and storage duration on the quality of mackerel stored at low temperatures. A completely randomized factorial design was employed, with two factors: the concentration of Japanese papaya leaf powder (0%, 6%, 8%, and 10%) and storage duration (0, 2, 4, and 6 days). Data were analyzed using ANOVA at a 5% significance level, followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the same significance level. The results indicated that the best treatment combination was 10% Japanese papaya leaf powder and 4 days of storage. This combination yielded a moisture content of 64.51%, a total microbial count of 6.6 cfu/g, a total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) level of 23.28 mg/100g, a pH of 5.34, a trimethylamine (TMA) level of 6.15 mg/100g, and a water holding capacity (WHC) of 53.11%. The organoleptic assessment showed that the mackerel maintained acceptable color and aroma, indicating effective preservation.
