Abstract

A nugget is a type of processed meat restructuring, namely meat that is ground and seasoned, then enveloped by flour adhesive and breadcrumb coating (breading). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different proportions of catfish and duck meat, as well as the addition of sodium alginate, on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of nuggets. This study used a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors and two replications. Factor I is the treatment of the proportion of catfish and duck meat. Factor II is the addition of sodium alginate binder (0.5%; 0.75%, or 1%). The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a significance level of 5%. If there were differences between treatments, then DMRT 5% further test was conducted. The best results came from using a mix of 70% catfish and 30% duck meat with 1% sodium alginate, which created nuggets with 59.32% moisture, 1.28% ash, 8.75% fat, 16.86% protein, a texture value of 563.470 gf, and a water binding capacity of 81.74%. In the taste test, the average scores were 4.12 for color (slightly like), 4.01 for aroma (slightly like), 3.88 for taste (like), and 3.72 for texture (like).

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the financial feasibility of the melon cultivation of the Sweet Hami variety with the DRFT (Dynamic Root Floating Technique) hydroponic system at Indogarden Greenhouse, Tuban. The research method employed is a descriptive quantitative approach, utilising primary data collected through interviews and secondary data sourced from the Indogarden Greenhouse Farm's business bookkeeping records for the period 2023–2025. The business feasibility analysis used the criteria of Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit-Cost Ratio (B/C), and Payback Period (PP). The results of the analysis showed that the premium melon cultivation business at Indogarden Greenhouse is feasible to develop. This is indicated by the NPV value of Rp72,869,633.98 (positive) at an interest rate of 6.5%, IRR of 29%, which is greater than the interest rate of 6.5%, B/C ratio of 1.7 (more than 1), and a payback period of 4 harvests. These financial indicators consistently show that investment in this premium melon farming business can provide significant profits and return on capital in a relatively short time, so it has high potential for sustainability.

Abstract

Colorants are commonly added to food products to enhance their visual appeal and increase consumer interest. Among the various types of natural pigments, anthocyanins—derived from fruits, vegetables, flowers, and tuberous plants—have garnered significant scientific interest due to their vivid coloration and associated health-promoting properties. Nevertheless, anthocyanins exhibit considerable sensitivity to environmental variables, including temperature, pH, oxygen exposure, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and interactions with other molecular constituents. A range of environmental stressors can accelerate the deterioration of anthocyanin pigments during processing and storage, leading to a decrease in colour intensity. To counteract these destabilizing influences, various encapsulation strategies have been developed to protect anthocyanins from degradation. Among these, spray drying is widely recognized for its efficacy in maintaining both the physicochemical integrity and biofunctional performance of anthocyanin molecules. This review discusses the strategic importance of encapsulation in enhancing anthocyanin stability and examines the primary degradation mechanisms relevant to their application in food systems.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the quality of Boer goat spermatozoa when stored at 5°C in a duck egg yolk-tris diluent supplemented with propolis extract. The material used was fresh semen collected from ±2-year-old Boer goats using an artificial vagina. This research employed a laboratory experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consisting of four propolis extract treatments: 0% (T0), 0.25% (T1), 0.5% (T2), and 1% (T3), with five replications. Observed variables included motility, viability, and abnormality. Observations were conducted every day at the same time. Data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and subsequently tested with Duncan's multiple range test. The research results indicate that the best average sperm motility was found in T1, at 54.40±11.14%, followed by T0 at 41.00±12.36%, T2 at 40.40±11.76%, and T3 at 39.60±2.88%. The highest sperm viability was observed in T1, 58.40±6.06%, followed by T3, 49.20±4.65%, T2, 45.60±9.04%, and T0, 44.00±6.85%. The lowest sperm abnormality was found in T1, 4.60±1.87%, followed by T2, 6.00±1.87%, T3, 5.80±4.81%, and T0, 5.00±2.44%. In conclusion, among the four different diluents, the addition of 0.25% propolis extract in Tris-diluted egg yolk diluent showed the highest ability to maintain the quality of Boer goat spermatozoa for three days at a storage temperature of 5°C. Further studies are needed on the effects of different concentrations of propolis extract, various egg yolks, and different temperatures Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)SDG 2 (Zero Hunger)SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production)
