Abstract

Siam oranges (Citrus nobilis) are abundant commodities, with the fruit flesh being commonly utilized, while the peel is often discarded as waste. The peel contains flavonoids, limonin, hesperidin, and pectin, which function as antioxidants and natural gelling agents. This study used both the peel and juice of Siam oranges, with the addition of sugar. The orange juice serves as a solvent for the mixture of ingredients, while sugar adds sweetness and helps maintain the consistency of the jam during cooking. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different proportions of orange peel and juice, with varying sugar concentrations, on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of Siam orange jam, and to determine the optimal formulation. The experiment was designed using a Randomized Complete Block Design in a factorial pattern with two replications. Factor 1 consisted of the proportion of orange peel to orange juice (10:90, 20:80, 30:70), and Factor 2 involved sugar concentration (60%, 65%, 70%) with two replications. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The results showed that the best treatment was the 30:70 ratio of Siam orange peel to juice with 65% sugar (A3G2), which produced jam with the following characteristics: moisture content of 36.99%; pH of 3.44; total dissolved solids (TDS) of 64.24°Brix; reducing sugar of 20.32%; vitamin C content of 16.48 mg/100g; antioxidant activity of 52.10%; spreadability of 7.12 cm; crude fiber of 0.71%; and hedonic test scores for texture (3.16, slightly like), taste (3.12, slightly like), color (4.16, like), aroma (3.40, slightly like), and overall (3.24, slightly like).

Abstract

Groundwater quality deterioration is common in densely populated areas and industrial zones due to elevated levels of Fe2+ and Mn2+, which alter water's physical properties and pose potential health risks. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of fly ash and corn cobs as alternative adsorbents for the reduction of Fe2+ and Mn2+ concentrations in groundwater via continuous adsorption processes, with variations in adsorbent bed height and sampling time utilizing 40% H3PO4 as an activator. The results demonstrated that both fly ash and corn cobs were effective, achieving optimum removal efficiencies of 99.7% for Fe²+ and 89.2% for Mn2+ using fly ash, and 99.2% for Fe2+ and 87.7% for Mn2+ using corn cobs. Increasing the height of the adsorbent bed and extending the sampling time improved the removal efficiency of Fe2+ and Mn2+. FTIR analysis confirmed the involvement of –OH, Si–O, C=O, and C–O functional groups in the adsorption process. The Thomas model indicated that Qo decreased while KT increased with increasing adsorbent height. Corn cob exhibited a higher adsorption capacity, whereas fly ash demonstrated faster kinetic rates, with R² values ranging from 0.8052 to 0.9807.

Abstract

Frozen chicken nuggets are processed ground chicken with binding agents and seasonings, coated with breadcrumbs, heated, packaged, and frozen to maintain quality. Increasingly fierce competition between brands requires manufacturers to produce products that meet consumer needs. This study aims to analyze consumer preferences for frozen chicken nugget product attributes using Conjoint Analysis and Multiple Linear Regression. The results show that the attributes most influential on consumer preferences are flavor variants (28.46%), followed by package size (27.92%), price (27.12%), and crumb texture (16.51%), with the highest preference for the original variant, price <Rp20,000, packaging 100–250 grams, and bread crumbs coating. Regression analysis shows that brand, testimonials, availability, packaging design, product image (USP), and advertising have a significant positive effect on purchasing decisions, whereas labels do not. Simultaneously, all variables had a significant effect with a model contribution of 54.4%. The implications of this study indicate that the marketing strategy for frozen chicken nuggets in Surabaya should focus on increasing product availability, strengthening the brand image, and leveraging advertising and testimonials as promotional media.

Abstract

The presence of heavy metals, such as copper (Cu²?), in industrial wastewater poses environmental problems due to their toxicity and resistance to natural degradation. One of the treatment methods used is adsorption with activated carbon, which has a high surface area and porosity. However, the adsorption capacity decreases after several cycles of use, necessitating regeneration via desorption. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Cu²? ion desorption from activated carbon using various concentrations of HCl solution and to analyze morphological changes in the adsorbent after desorption. The desorption experiments were carried out with HCl concentrations of 0.05 M, 0.1 M, 0.15 M, 0.2 M, and 0.25 M, and with contact times of 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. The Cu ion concentration was analyzed using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), and the surface morphology was characterized using a SEM. The outcomes showed that increasing the HCl concentration enhanced desorption efficiency, reaching a maximum of 49.9% at 0.25 M, with an optimum contact time of 90 minutes. SEM analysis revealed changes in the pore structure and surface morphology of the activated carbon after desorption, indicating the release of metal ions from the adsorbent surface.

Abstract

Coffee is the most popular and traded drink in the world. The cultivar, environmental conditions, and agricultural management determine the physical quality, coffee taste, and chemical composition of coffee beans. The purpose of this community service was to improve the knowledge and skill level of the Triguna Karya group in terms of the technique of green bean storage; therefore, the quality and safety of the green beans can be maintained. Moreover, to increase the marketing skill strategy using a number of social media. The method used was survey, observation, mentoring, knowledge transfer, practice, documentation, and evaluation. The result showed that the group of Triguna Karya stored green coffee beans poorly in the warehouse, even though they have known postharvest handling and processing of coffee well. The group did not use temperature and humidity control during storage of green beans; therefore, they can be damaged and decrease in quality and safety. In general, the participant have understood about Facebook but less in how to use the Instagram and TikTok applications.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesise liquid ammonium silicate fertiliser ((NH?)?SiO?) from rice husk ash and to determine the effects of varying ammonium hydroxide (NH?OH) concentration and reaction temperature on the resulting silica (Si) and nitrogen (N) content. Rice husk ash is used as a silica source because it contains high levels of SiO?, up to 82%. The research process includes three main stages: raw material preparation; silica extraction using 10% NaOH at 80°C for 120 minutes; and a synthesis reaction between the extracted silica and an NH?OH solution (5–25%) at 30–110°C for 60 minutes. Silica content analysis was carried out using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, while nitrogen content was analyzed using the Kjeldahl method. The results showed that increasing NH?OH concentration and reaction temperature significantly increased silica content, while increasing temperature tended to decrease nitrogen content due to ammonia volatility. The best conditions were obtained at a NH?OH concentration of 25%, a reaction temperature of 70°C, a silica content of 5.2701%, and a nitrogen content of 17.1637%. The results meet the SNI 02-6681-2002 standard for liquid macro compound fertilizers, which requires a minimum content of 4% for silica and nitrogen. Thus, rice husk ash has great potential as an alternative raw material for the manufacture of environmentally friendly ammonium silicate liquid fertilizers.
