Abstract

Formulation in making tea is necessary to produce quality products with a distinctive taste and optimal health benefits. Cascara is a dried tea product produced from coffee skin waste. It has been reported to have potential as a natural antioxidant because it contains secondary metabolite compounds such as polyphenols. Dayak onion bulbs are reported to contain flavonoids that are useful for preventing and alleviating complaints due to degenerative diseases such as hypertension and controlling blood sugar levels. Stevia is a plant known as sugar leaves or non-calorie natural sweeteners whose dried leaves have 30 times the sweetness of sucrose. The purpose of this study was to combine coffee fruit skin (cascara), Dayak onion, and stevia in herbal tea formulations to explore health potential and see the effect of differences in cascara, dayak onion, and stevia tea formulations on pH values, moisture content, and ash content according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). This study used a Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The results of this study indicate that the moisture content of herbal tea bags ranges from 9.05%-11.48%, with certain formulations (C, D, E, and F) meeting SNI standards. The ash content of herbal tea bags ranges from 3.58%-7.35%, reflecting the mineral content, with higher stevia concentrations correlating with increased ash content. The pH value of the brewed herbal tea ranges from 4.34-5.12, indicating that higher concentrations of Dayak onion produce higher pH values while increasing stevia concentrations lower pH.

Abstract

This study examines the preparation of bioactive extracts from celery leaves (Apium graveolens L.) and their transformation into nanoparticulate forms for potential application in antiaging formulations. The celery leaves were extracted using the maceration method with 96% ethanol. The phytochemicals of celery extract were examined using a unique reagent, which shows the celery extract contains flavonoids, alkaloid, and triterpenoid. These compounds are usually used as active agents in antiaging creams. We employed the ultrasonication probe-homogenizer to produce nanosized particles of celery extracts. The particle size analyzer data showed that the particle size significantly reduced from 6,757.2 nm (bulk) into nanoparticle when probe homogenization was employed, with average sizes of 583.8 nm (30 minutes homogenization), 219.9 nm (60 minutes homogenization), and 161.7 nm (90 minutes homogenization). These values indicate that within time, the bulk active compound in celery could be used to formulate an antiaging cream for the next applicationContribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

Abstract

Chrysanthemums are a vital commodity in Indonesia’s floriculture industry. Their cultivation, primarily managed by small-scale farmers with limited resources, often results in suboptimal quality. Increasing chrysanthemum production and quality requires adopting appropriate, locally sourced organic materials as soil amendments. This study evaluates the impact of different organic material combinations and their dosages on chrysanthemum growth and yield. A field experiment was conducted in a greenhouse using a Nested Experiment with a Randomized Factorial Design. The results indicate that combinations of organic materials significantly influence flower stalk length, weight, and fresh flower weight. The highest economic fresh flower weight (132.13 g) was achieved using a combination of chrysanthemum residue, hydroponic media, and leaf litter at a dose of 1.5 tons per hectare, showing a 10.87% yield increase over the lowest treatment. These findings highlight the potential of organic matter integration to enhance chrysanthemum quality and farmer profitability.

Abstract

Gelgel Village is one of the villages in Bali known for producing Balinese woven fabrics, namely songket and endek fabrics. Songket/endek fabric is one of the characteristics of Balinese cultural products. In order to preserve songket weaving, legal protection is necessary. Moving on from this matter, there are several problems experienced by participants in this program, namely: 1) Lack of interest of the younger generation in working as weavers, 2) Lack of compatibility of work results required by employers with weavers, and 3) Legal protection for workers and employers of songket/short cloth weaving in Gelgel Village, Klungkung. The activities carried out in this program were to provide counseling on the importance of preserving songket weaving as a cultural characteristic. These activities increased the younger generation's interest in weavers by counseling them on preserving songket weaving as a cultural characteristic. In addition, a good working relationship is needed in the songket/short woven fabric production process so that the weaving results are by the expectations of employers and consumers. Legal protection for weaving workers is to provide their rights as workers by applicable laws and regulations. Entrepreneurs are also encouraged to get legal protection by making Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in the form of Copyright.

Abstract

Chili peppers are one of the important vegetable commodities for the community both in terms of economic value and nutritional content. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of providing organic fertilizers from rabbit farm waste combined with organic fertilizers from cattle farm waste on the growth and yield of chili pepper plants. The study was conducted using an experimental method, with the experimental design used being a factorial Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. There were two factors studied, namely: the dose of Rabbit Farm Waste Fertilizer (R) consisting of 3 levels and the dose of Cattle farm waste fertilizer (C) consisting of 3 levels. Each type of fertilizer treatment consisted of 3 levels, namely: 0 ton/ha; 10 tons/ha; 20 tons/ha. The results of this study indicate that rabbit manure has a significant effect, especially on the oven dry weight of fruit, the number of fruits, and the fresh weight of harvested fruit, as well as the dry weight of the stove. Meanwhile, cow manure significantly affects plant height and fresh weight of the stover and has a very real effect on other variables. The highest oven dry weight of harvested fruit per plant was obtained in the rabbit manure treatment of 30 tons/ha, which was 26.68 g, which was 78.3% higher than the lowest in the treatment of 0 tons/ha, which was 14.98 g. Meanwhile, the highest oven-dry weight of fruit per plant was in the cow manure treatment at a dose of 30 tons/ha, which was 34.07 g, which increased by 151.1% with the lowest treatment of 0 tons/ha, which was 13.56 g.
