Abstract

Arabica coffee is a coffee commodity that is widely found in Indonesia because it is considered superior in terms of taste. Arabica coffee contains various biochemical compounds, one of which is caffeine, which is known to overcome drowsiness and reduce physical fatigue. However, caffeine use can also lead to negative side effects, such as anxiety, increased blood pressure, and decreased fine motor skills. This study addresses the public demand for lower caffeine coffee to minimize these side effects. The research focuses on reducing caffeine levels by examining coffee bean size and solvent concentration during decaffeination. . The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial pattern with two factors and two replications. The first factor was coffee bean particle size (4 mesh, 6 mesh, and 8 mesh) and the second factor was maceration process with citric acid solution concentration (1%, 3%, and 5%). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Varience (ANOVA) and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The results showed that the treatment of 8 mesh coffee bean size with 5% citric acid solution concentration produced the best caffeine content (1.324 mg/g). In addition, the characteristic values of moisture content (3.436%), ash content (2.065%), and phenol content (29.472 mg GAE/g), were obtained. And organoleptic test results with attributes of fragrant-very fragrant aroma (3.55), blackish-brown-black color (3.65), and bitter-very bitter taste (3.5).

Abstract

Sensory evaluation is a crucial activity in food product development and affects consumer preference, particularly for flake products. Flakes are foods in the form of thin or flaky pieces, generally made from cereal grains. The raw materials used in this study are purple sweet potato flour, which is high in starch (74.57%), and edamame flour, which is high in protein (36.15%). Different formulations will affect the formation of sensory attributes and characteristics of flake products. The sensory evaluation method used in this study is the Just About Right (JAR) method, aimed at analyzing the sensory attributes of flake samples that influence overall liking assessment (p-value < 0.05; panelist response percentage > 20%; and high mean drops), in order to determine the most optimal product formulation. Sensory evaluation of the product was conducted by testing 13 attributes using JAR and hedonic scales (overall liking). The data obtained were processed using XLSTAT 2024 software. Based on the analysis results, the F2 flake product formulation (80% Purple Sweet Potato Flour: 20% Edamame Flour) is the most optimal product formulation, where the attributes that need optimization are taste (Earthy – Sweet, p-value = 0.027) and aftertaste (Earthy, p-value = 0.0003).

Abstract

Preserving students' engagement and drive in a digital setting poses a formidable obstacle for instructors, particularly amidst the pandemic. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers have been required to modify their instructional approaches and devise novel tactics to promote academic involvement. This study conducted action research to assess the efficacy of Interactive Educational Applications, such as Kahoot!, Quizizz, and Jamboard, in enhancing topic comprehension in Araling Panlipunan (AP) 9. It additionally investigated student contentment and the challenges faced during the integration of these technologies. The study utilized a mixed-method approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods. The sample consisted of 30 9th-grade students selected through convenience sampling. The results indicated a substantial statistical difference between the pre-test and post-test scores in AP 9 when Interactive Educational Applications were utilized. With 29 degrees of freedom and a significance level of 0.05, the computed t-value of +17.013 was higher than the critical value of +2.0457. Furthermore, the p-value of 0.0000 was below the significance level of 0.05, suggesting a substantial disparity between the two paired samples. The 95% confidence interval, which extends from -8.588 to -6.745, excludes zero. This provides more evidence that the utilization of Interactive Educational Applications greatly improved students' comprehension of Araling Panlipunan 9. An Interactive Educational Applications satisfaction assessment was undertaken through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to gauge student satisfaction. The majority of participants indicated that these applications had a good influence on their ability to master the topic in AP. Nevertheless, children encountered various obstacles throughout the intervention, including inadequate internet connectivity, distractions within their households, and subpar cell phones.

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.
