Abstract

This study investigates the effects of organic fertilizer and NPK fertilizer enriched with sulfur (S) and zinc (Zn) on the growth and yield of white eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). A factorial experiment was conducted to evaluate vegetative and generative responses under varying fertilizer dosages. Results demonstrated that both fertilizers independently exerted significant effects on vegetative growth, particularly plant height and leaf number. The optimal treatments—30 tons/ha of organic fertilizer (O3) and 600 kg/ha of NPK fertilizer (Z3)—produced the tallest plants (62.95 cm) and the highest leaf count (14.78 leaves), indicating enhanced photosynthetic capacity and plant vigor. Generative development also improved with increased fertilizer dosages. Treatment O3 yielded 23.00 flowers and 14.67 fruits per plant, a 13.83% increase over the lowest dose. Treatment Z3 resulted in 24.00 flowers and 56.07 fruits per plant, an 8.47% increase compared to Z1, highlighting the critical role of Zn and S in reproductive organ formation. Furthermore, fresh fruit weight significantly increased under both treatments, with O3 producing 1,710.00 g and Z3 yielding 1,768.78 g per plant—representing 13.85% and 19.63% improvements, respectively. These findings confirm that precise fertilizer combinations can substantially enhance the productivity and quality of white eggplant harvests

Abstract

One of Indonesia's greatest waste crops, rice husk, has not yet been fully exploited. Rice husk has a high lignocellulose content, increasing its potential as a renewable energy source, particularly in the form of biopellets. The procedure of creating biopellets is the focus of this study. biopellets made from rice husk and evaluate their quality using proximal, ultimate, value, density, and heat criteria. The study's stages include drying the raw material, milling it to a uniform size, using a pellet mill for pelletisation, and testing the biopellets for quality in compliance with SNI 8951:2020. The study's findings revealed that rice husk biopellets have sufficient calories and low water content after undergoing optimal drying. However, the high relative ash content is the main problem in using it as a feedstock for co-firing, necessitating quality enhancement through chemical treatment or blending with other biomass. Overall, biopellets derived from rice husks have the potential to serve as an environmentally acceptable and cost-effective alternative energy source for household and industrial use.

Abstract

Pempek is a fish-based food product that is highly susceptible to spoilage due to its elevated water and protein content, which fosters microbial growth. The reliance on conventional plastic packaging, such as polypropylene, raises environmental concerns, underscoring the need for alternative, more eco-friendly packaging solutions that enhance product safety. This study aimed to utilize bioplastics derived from corn cob cellulose and chitosan as active packaging to mitigate the deterioration of pempek during storage. The research involved extracting corn cob cellulose via the organosolv method, fabricating bioplastics via solution casting, packaging the pempek, and assessing Total Plate Count (TPC) and pH levels over 4 days of storage at room temperature. The findings revealed that the active bioplastic significantly inhibited microbial growth. The TPC of pempek packaged in bioplastic was 1–2 logs lower than that of the control on days 2-4. Additionally, the pH of the bioplastic-preserved pempek declined from 6.75 to 5.46, whereas the control increased from 7.77 to 8.17, indicating microbial spoilage. These results suggest that bioplastic incorporating corn cob cellulose and chitosan effectively slows deterioration, enhances microbiological safety, and presents a viable, environmentally friendly packaging alternative for food products.

Abstract

Indonesians still depend heavily on wheat flour for cookies, while the use of local foods such as breadfruit and plantain is not yet optimal. Breadfruit is a source of carbohydrates that is high in fiber and low in glycemic index. On the other hand, plantains at a certain level of ripeness contain natural sugars that can act as sweeteners while also affecting the glycemic index. Therefore, the combination of these two ingredients has the potential to produce healthier functional cookies that are suitable for diabetics. This study aims to evaluate the effect of using breadfruit flour and plantain flour with different levels of ripeness on the physicochemical characteristics and glycemic index of cookies. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments based on the ripeness level of the plantain (green, greenish yellow, yellow, and yellow with black spots) and 3 replicates. The parameters observed included physical and chemical analysis. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the ripeness level of plantain in cookie formulations significantly affected the moisture content, fat content, protein content, carbohydrate content, dietary fiber content, starch content, total sugar content, glycemic index test, hardness test, colour test, and organoleptic test (colour, aroma, texture, and taste). But does not significantly affect the ash content in the cookie products. The best treatment was obtained in treatment D, which was bananas with a yellow ripeness level and black spots. Thus, it can be concluded that the ripeness level of plantain has a significant effect on the quality of the cookies produced, except for the ash content of the cookies. Cookies made with plantain with the highest ripeness level have the best balance of colour, taste, aroma, and texture, making them the most preferred by the panelists.

Abstract

This study focuses on the synthesis and performance evaluation of silica membranes supported on ?-–alumina flat disks for bio–CNG (CO2/CH4) purification. The membranes were fabricated via a sol–gel method using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the silica precursor and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the templating agent. CTAB concentrations were varied from 0.01 to 0.09 M, while drying temperatures ranged from 80 to 120 °C. Characterisation through SEM–EDX, XRD, and gas permeation tests revealed that an increase in CTAB concentration produced a more uniform pore structure and enhanced CH4 flux. However, excessive CTAB led to over–templating, resulting in microcracks. The optimal membrane was obtained at 0.05 M CTAB and a drying temperature of 105 °C, yielding a separation factor (?- = 2.14) with stable structural integrity. Gas transport was dominated by Knudsen diffusion, favouring CH4 over CO2, with an experimental CH2/CO4 selectivity (?- = 3.21) exceeding the theoretical Knudsen value (1.66). This indicates that, in addition to Knudsen flow, microstructural factors such as pore interconnectivity and partial defects contributed to CH4 transport through the silica membrane. These findings indicate that silica membranes synthesised under optimised sol–gel conditions exhibit strong potential for efficient bio–CNG upgrading, supporting renewable, low–carbon energy applications.

Abstract

Farmer-Livestock Group Satwa Winangun in Tangkas Village, Klungkung Regency, faces challenges in improving agricultural productivity and soil health due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers. This Community Service Program (CSP) aimed to introduce and implement the utilization of sulfur and zinc fertilizers combined with locally produced compost as environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives. The program was conducted through training sessions, field demonstrations, and intensive mentoring for farmers. The results indicated significant improvements in soil fertility, plant growth, and production cost efficiency. Sulfur and zinc fertilizers enhanced soil structure and nutrient absorption, while local compost derived from village organic waste contributed to waste reduction and improved soil quality. Farmers began to adopt these methods independently and demonstrated strong enthusiasm toward sustainable agriculture practices. Overall, this program successfully empowered the farmer group through appropriate technology and the use of local resources. Beyond increasing agricultural yields, the activities also strengthened environmental awareness and encouraged farmer self-reliance in managing land productively and sustainably.

Abstract

The group members of the Jempiring Women Farmers Group in Bresela Village have limited knowledge and skills in processing traditional snack products that are hygienic, varied, and suitable for sale for “upakara” (religious ritual) purposes. Most of the “upakara” snacks are purchased from outside the village, which has an impact on the community's low local income and lack of economic independence. The method of implementing the activity includes several stages, namely: socialization and counseling regarding the importance of sanitation and hygiene in food processing, practical training in making various types of traditional snacks, such as “jaja uli” and “jaja begina”, which are suitable for “upakara”, and assistance in terms of packaging, pricing, and product marketing. The results of this activity are very significant: the members of the Jempiring group are now not only able to produce traditional snacks independently but have also formed a local marketing network. This success not only increases the group's income but also preserves the traditional Balinese culinary heritage and strengthens the village's economic independence.

Abstract

Industrial processes that discharge heavy metals into the environment are a growing environmental crisis because of the dangers they pose to aquatic life and human health. Nickel (Ni) is one of the most dangerous metals due to its extreme toxicity and its ability to bioaccumulate in food chains. Severe health complications may develop from chronic exposure to nickel. Chemical precipitation, ion exchange, and reverse osmosis are traditional methods used to remove Ni(II) ions from wastewater. Nonetheless, these approaches have drawbacks, such as elevated operational costs, excessive chemical consumption, and inefficiency in treating low-concentration wastewater. The effectiveness of solvothermally synthesised chitosan as an adsorbent for the removal of Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions was examined in this work. Acidity, adsorbent concentration, and contact duration were all carefully measured and analyzed. Optimal adsorption occurred at pH 6, yielding a maximum removal effectiveness of 75% after 75 minutes of contact. An adsorption efficiency of 54.69% was achieved with the optimal adsorbent dose of 0.4 g. Kinetic analysis indicated that the adsorption process followed the Pseudo-Second-Order (PSO) model, with a correlation coefficient (R²) of 0.999, suggesting that chemisorption prevailed via interactions between Ni(II) ions and the –NH? and –OH functional groups on the chitosan surface. The solvothermal modification improved the adsorption capability of the chitosan by increasing its surface area, porosity, and number of active sites.

Abstract

Citrus fruits often experience overproduction, resulting in low prices, and even unmarketable fruit is frequently wasted. This innovation offers a sustainable solution through a zero-waste concept, where all parts of the citrus fruit, from the flesh and peel to the pulp, are optimally utilized. The program focuses on intensive training in producing high-quality orange wine, introducing proper fermentation techniques to create a high-value product. The orange peel and pulp, which are by-products of the winemaking process, are further processed into products such as jam, orange peel candy, or compost, so nothing is wasted. Community service not only provides farmers with new skills in creating innovative products but also teaches the principles of an environmentally friendly circular economy. The expected positive impacts include increased farmer incomes, new business opportunities, and more effective agricultural waste management, making Pengejaran Village a self-sustaining centre for processed citrus production.
