Abstract

Coffee is not only a regular consumption but can also be said to be part of today's lifestyle. However, despite the popularity of coffee products among the public, many people do not know the contents of coffee which are beneficial for the body. There are many antioxidant compounds in coffee, and antioxidants are an antidote to free radicals, inhibiting oxidation. The post-harvest process of coffee and the fermentation process during post-harvest coffee can affect the content and compounds contained in coffee. Fermentation generally uses bacteria, fungi, and yeast. The type of yeast used in research is Saccharomyces cerevisiae; its metabolic products can influence the antioxidant content of coffee beans. This research aims to determine the effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae concentration on antioxidant activity in coffee beans. This research treatment consisted of without the adding starter (A), fermentation with a concentration of 1.5% (B), fermentation with a concentration of 2% (C), fermentation with a concentration of 2.5% (D), fermentation with a concentration of 3% (E). The data obtained were analyzed statistically using ANOVA and continued with DNMRT at the 5% level. Chlorogenic acid and caffeine were tested using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to determine how much of these compounds are contained in the coffee beans. The results of this research show that differences in Saccharomyces cerevisiae concentrations significantly affect the 5% level of the degree of acidity (pH) and antioxidant activity. The best treatment was obtained in treatment E, with a pH value of 5.9 and antioxidant activity of 54.72%.

Abstract

This study employs a quantitative research method to examine the impact of the number of MSMEs and poverty rates on unemployment rates in Indonesia from 2011 to 2022, utilizing data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS Indonesia) and Bank Indonesia. The analysis reveals a significant relationship between the increase in MSMEs, poverty index fluctuations, and unemployment rate changes during this period. The findings demonstrate a strong correlation between the growth of MSMEs and a reduction in unemployment, whereas the relationship between poverty levels and unemployment rates is weak. This suggests that the expansion of MSMEs is an effective strategy for reducing unemployment and improving economic conditions. The study aims to enhance understanding of the factors influencing unemployment and the challenges policymakers face, providing valuable insights for efforts to combat unemployment. Additionally, the dataset used may benefit other studies addressing unemployment issues in Indonesia and similar regions. The results confirm the crucial role of MSME development in lowering unemployment rates, highlighting its potential as a viable policy approach for economic improvement.

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.
