Abstract

The high cost of manual irrigation in dry land vegetable farming is a serious problem in dry land farming which is always faced by farming households every year. Therefore, innovation in drip irrigation technology with an automatic gravity control system using plastic waste is very necessary for irrigation of dray land vegetables farms. This research aims to analyze and find the level of savings in irrigation water use, cost efficiency and profitability of drip irrigation technology. It was a the short to medium-term Action research method starting at the beginning of the dry season. The research approach applied is participatory action research, namely action research by applying a rural community participatory approach. The results showed that innovative drip irrigation technology was able to save water and casual labors. Drip irrigation technology is very profitable, financially and economically feasible to develop in dry land vegetable farming. However, there is concern that there is a tendency for this technology to be difficult to implement in rural areas of Rural Salut because of the relatively expensive materials and equipment for drip irrigation. Therefore, irrigation equipment can be adjusted or adapted to overcome the high cost by replacing some components with cheaper and more readily available materials. The water requirement for chili cultivation in one growing season is around 22,000 liters per 500 m2 at the cost of IDR 150,000. Meanwhile, by manual method (surface flow), namely by draining water from drilled wells to the planting area of ​​75,000 liters per 500 m2 with a monastery of IDR 400,000. It proves that the drip irrigation technology can save water and energy consumption. The chili farming calculations show that the financial turnover obtained from chili cultivation using drip irrigation technology was IDR 5,525,000 per 500 M2, while that obtained by local farmers was IDR 3,365,000.00 per 500 M2.

Abstract

The food industry has increased so the need for food packaging has also increased. One of the packaging that is often used is Styrofoam, where Styrofoam contains chemical substances namely styrene, butyl hydroxytoluene, and polytyrene which can migrate to food and is harmful to humans because it is carcinogenic. One of the alternatives to styrofoam is bio-foam. Biofoam is an alternative packaging to replace styrofoam because it is made from natural raw materials, namely a mixture of starch, fibers, and synthetic polymers that are easily biodegradable. The natural ingredients used in the study were tapioca flour as a source of starch and yellow soybean hull flour as a source of fiber. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the ratio of proportions in opioids and yellow soybean hulls with the addition of glycerol on the characteristics of the bio-foam produced. This study uses a completely random design method with 2 factors. Factor I is the ratio of tapioca flour and yellow soybean hull flour, which is 70:30, 50:50, and 30:70. Factor II is the addition of glycerol by 5%, 10%, and 15%. The observation data was analyzed using ANOVA, if there was a real interaction or influence on the two treatments, then a DMRT test was carried out with a confidence level of 5%. The best treatment results were obtained through the Zeleny method, namely the treatment of the proportion of tapioca flour as a basic ingredient: yellow soybean hulls flour (30:70) and the addition of glycerol of 15% with the results of the analysis of moisture content of 15.76%, starch content of 17.53%, density of 1.13 gr/cm3, water absorption of 14.67%, biodegradability of 8.14% (±8 weeks) and tensile strength of 11.03Mpa

Abstract

White bread is a food product generally derived from wheat flour that is consumed by the majority of people around the world. Innovations continue to be made to increase the nutritional value of bread. The use of pedada fruit (Sonneratia caseolaris) as a local food rich in fiber is an alternative to mixing with wheat flour. This study was conducted to determine the physical and organoleptic properties of wheat flour white bread with pedada flour. Organoleptic quality assessment was conducted with the participation of 25 panelists. Sensory attributes that are referenced by panelists include color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall. Data analysis used a T-test to determine the real difference between two treatments with a significant level (<0.05) including development volume, number of pores, texture, and organoleptic test. White Bread with a proportion of 80% wheat flour and 20% pedada produced a loaf volume (138.04%), porosity (11,722/cm2), and texture with texture analyzer (5,892 gf). The organoleptic test showed that the bread with 80% wheat flour and 20% pedada flour received positive ratings in terms of color and aroma, but received low ratings in terms of texture and taste.
