Abstract

Intermittent irrigation in cultivating rice plants can reduce and save water needs. The study aims to identify NPK nutrient uptake in various kinds of irrigation to select the suitability of local rice varieties in several types of irrigation. The research was conducted in the Experimental Land, Soil, and Plant Nutrition Laboratory and Production Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, for five months. The research method was conducted using a field experiment with a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) of 3 repetitions and a 3 by 4 strip plot layout. Factor I, namely irrigation, includes conventional irrigation (A1), ten days of inundation and five days of drying (A2), and seven days of inundation and three days of drying (A3). Factor II is the rice varieties, including Rojolele Genjah (V1), Pandan Wangi (V2), Mentik Wangi (V3), and Ciherang (V4). The results showed no interaction between the irrigation type and the variety of the observed parameters. Irrigation does not affect the absorption of N, P, and K, but it affects the weight of rice clump grain. Variety influences the uptake of P and K in rice plants. The Pandan Wangi variety has a higher P absorption than other varieties. Rojolele varieties have higher K absorption than Pandan Wangi and Ciherang varieties. The grain weight per rice clump of the Pandan Wangi variety is heavier than that of other varieties. Grain weight per rice clump with 10-day intermittent irrigation: 5-day drying is heavier than conventional irrigation. It is necessary to develop rice cultivation of the Pandan Wangi variety with intermittent irrigation because it does not reduce the absorption of N, P, and K, and the grain per clump is heavier Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 2: Zero HungerSDG 6: Clean Water and SanitationSDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

Abstract

One dried product that can enhance flavor in various food products is powdered broth. Glutamic acid is the main compound responsible for the umami taste in powdered broth products. This compound is naturally present in raw materials such as patin fish headss and mulberry fruit, which were used as the main components in this study. This research aimed to examine how different amounts of patin fish head extract and mulberry fruit liquid, along with varying levels of maltodextrin, affect the qualities of the powdered broth produced. The study employed a completely randomized design (CRD) with a two-factor factorial pattern. The first factor was the ratio of patin fish head extract to mulberry filtrate (1:2, 1:1, and 2:1), and the second factor was maltodextrin concentration (10%, 15%, and 20%). We analyzed the data using 5% ANOVA, and if we found significant differences, we proceeded with DMRT tests. The results indicated that the optimal treatment was the extract ratio of patin fishhead to mulberry (2:1) with a 10% maltodextrin addition. The resulting powdered broth had a moisture content of 14.80%, ash content of 1.88%, fat content of 6.08%, protein content of 12.06%, carbohydrate content of 66.41%, and yield of 12.56%.

Abstract

Pectin, a natural polysaccharide, is widely utilized in the food industry, particularly as a base material for edible coatings due to its film-forming ability. Pedada fruit (Sonneratia caseolaris), a mangrove species rich in pectin, remains an underutilized resource despite its potential. This study aims to explore the application of pectin extracted from pedada fruit as a component of edible coatings, with the addition of glycerol as a plasticizer to enhance flexibility and reduce brittleness commonly observed in pure pectin films. A completely randomized design (CRD) with a factorial pattern was employed, consisting of two factors: pectin concentration (1%, 2%, and 3%) and glycerol concentration (1%, 2%, and 3%), each replicated three times. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level, followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) for treatments showing significant differences. Results indicated that increasing concentrations of pectin and glycerol significantly affected the water vapor transmission rate, film thickness, and viscosity of the edible coating. The optimal formulation was achieved with 3% pectin and 2% glycerol, yielding a water vapor transmission rate of 4.083 g/m²/day, film thickness of 0.128 mm, and viscosity of 1022.23 mPa·s. These findings highlight the potential of pedada-based pectin as an eco-friendly alternative for sustainable food packaging solutions.

Abstract

Black noodle is an innovative food product formulated by incorporating natural pigment-rich ingredients to enhance visual appeal and nutritional value, setting it apart from conventional noodles. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of black soybean flour substitution and glycerol monostearate (GMS) addition on the physicochemical and organoleptic properties of black noodles, and to determine the optimal formulation. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a factorial pattern was employed, consisting of two factors: black soybean flour substitution (10%, 20%, and 30%) and GMS concentration (1%, 2%, and 3%), with three replications. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and significant differences were further examined using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The results indicated that both factors significantly influenced moisture content, protein content, antioxidant activity, elasticity, tensile strength, and sensory attributes. The best mixture was found by using 20% black soybean flour and adding 3% GMS, resulting in a moisture content of 57.23%, protein content of 15.97%, antioxidant activity (IC??) of 312.66 ppm, elasticity of 23.67%, and tensile strength of 0.63 N. Organoleptic evaluations showed favorable responses with scores of 4.28 for color (like), 3.72 for aroma (neutral to like), 3.2 for taste (neutral), and 3.96 for texture (neutral to like).

Abstract

Siwalan sap is highly perishable due to its elevated sugar content, which promotes spontaneous fermentation shortly after collection. Converting siwalan sap into a probiotic beverage offers a promising alternative for extending shelf life and diversifying its utilization. This study aimed to see how different fermentation times and amounts of starter affect the physical and taste qualities of probiotic siwalan sap and to find the best combination of these factors. A factorial completely randomized design (CRD) was applied, comprising two factors: starter concentration (3%, 6%, and 9%) and fermentation time (16, 20, and 24 hours), with three replications. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level, followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) for significant results. Both factors significantly influenced total lactic acid bacteria (LAB), total titratable acidity, pH, reducing sugar content, total soluble solids, and organoleptic attributes (taste, aroma, and color). The best formulation was achieved with a 3% starter concentration and 20 hours of fermentation, yielding an LAB count of 8.751 log CFU/mL, pH of 4.07, a titratable acidity of 0.750%, a reducing sugar of 1.39 mg/100 mL, and total soluble solids of 17.167°Brix. Sensory evaluation indicated moderate acceptance with scores of 3.2 (taste), 3.35 (aroma), and 3.6 (color) on a 5-point hedonic scale.

Abstract

Canna flour is a processed product derived from Canna edulis Kerr and can potentially be an alternative local carbohydrate source. It contains high starch content, ranging from 80–90%, with amylose levels around 20–30%. Modification of canna flour is carried out to address its limitations when used in sweet bread applications. Glycerol monostearate (GMS) aids in improving the volume expansion of sweet bread made with substitute flour. This research aimed to determine the effect of the proportion of wheat flour and modified canna flour on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of sweet bread. This research used a completely random setup with two factors: the mix of wheat flour and modified canna flour in ratios of 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30, and the amount of GMS added at 3%, 4%, and 5%. The results of the research indicate that the optimal treatment involves a proportion of 90% wheat flour and 10% modified canna flour, along with the addition of 5% GMS, namely moisture content 26.24%, ash content 2.40%, fat content 3.48%, protein content 4.88%, carbohydrate content 63%, and sensory value with color 3.60, aroma 2.44, taste 2.60, and texture 2.90.

Abstract

The use of tuber flours (potato flour, taro flour, yellow sweet potato flour), which contains high starch content as a filler, requires the addition of sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) as a binding agent to improve the characteristics of milkfish burger patties. STPP can reduce product shrinkage, increase water binding capacity, and improve texture. This study aimed to determine the optimal combination of tuber flour type and STPP addition to produce mackerel fish burger patties with the best chemical characteristics. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a factorial pattern consisting of two factors and two replications. Factor 1 was tuber flour (potato flour, taro flour, and yellow sweet potato flour), and Factor 2 was the addition of STPP (0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.4%). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and DMRT post-hoc tests at the 5% level. The best treatment was the use of potato flour and a 0.4% addition of STPP, which produced burger patties made from mackerel fish with a moisture content of 61.66%, an ash content of 2.52%, a protein content of 20.25%, a fat content of 1.58%, and a starch content of 11.05%.
