Abstract

Mellorine is a frozen dessert with characteristics similar to ice cream but containing a lower fat content. The incorporation of pomegranate is intended to enhance its nutritional value. Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is recognized as a potential functional food due to its high content of bioactive compounds and health benefits, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities. Inulin is a soluble dietary fiber that benefits the host by stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. This study aimed to determine the effects of pomegranate juice concentration and the addition of inulin on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of prebiotic pomegranate mellorine, and to identify the best treatment to produce optimal product characteristics and consumer acceptability as a functional mellorine. Variations in pomegranate juice concentration and inulin addition were applied. The physicochemical parameters included crude fiber, vitamin C, viscosity, overrun, total soluble solids, and melting time, while sensory attributes included color, aroma, taste, and texture. The results showed that pomegranate juice concentration and inulin addition significantly affected several characteristics of prebiotic pomegranate mellorine. The best treatment, consisting of 75% pomegranate juice and 6% inulin, produced mellorine with 0.34% crude fiber, 15.97% vitamin C, 218.25 mPa·s viscosity, 39.01% overrun, 27.75 °Brix total soluble solids, and a melting time of 20.04 minutes, with favorable sensory acceptance. Further analysis showed 3.16% dietary fiber, 2.95 × 10? CFU/mL prebiotic activity, 4.71% fat, and 23.12 mg/100 g anthocyanin.Top of FormBottom of Form Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 2: Zero HungeSDG 3: Good Health and Well-beingSDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and InfrastructureSDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

Abstract

Fermented fishery products are traditional foods widely produced across various regions and undergo complex biochemical changes during processing. One of the main changes determining product quality in proteolysis, the process of protein degradation into peptides, free amino acids, and other nitrogenous compounds that contribute to the development of flavor, aroma, texture, and food safety. Until now, the evaluation of protein changes in fermented fishery products has been dominated by conventional approaches such as total protein analysis, amino acid profiling, and soluble nitrogen parameters, which only capture the final outcome of proteolytic processing. This review aims to examine the potential of proteomic approaches in understanding protein transformation during the fermentation of fishery products. The findings indicate that liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) base proteomic approaches are capable of comprehensively identifying and quantifying proteins and peptides, including changes in their abundance during fermentation. The integration of proteomic data with bioinformatics analysis has the potential to elucidate the relationships among microbial activity, protein transformation, and the development of product quality characteristics. Therefore, proteomics has the potential to become an important approach for advancing research on fishery fermentation at the molecular level.

Abstract

Seaweeds are valuable marine bioresources containing natural hydrocolloids widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biomaterial industries. This study investigated the extraction and physical characteristics of carrageenan from Eucheuma cottonii and alginate from Turbinaria ornata. Carrageenan was extracted using hot alkaline extraction, while alginate was obtained through acid treatment, alkaline conversion, and precipitation. The evaluated parameters included extraction yield, total soluble solids (TSS), and viscosity. Carrageenan showed a higher extraction yield (24.53%) than alginate (21.12%), whereas alginate exhibited higher TSS (12.00 °Brix) and viscosity (114.25 cP) than carrageenan (8.25 °Brix and 76.75 cP). The higher carrageenan yield was attributed to its simpler alkaline extraction process, while the greater TSS and viscosity of alginate were associated with soluble sodium alginate, residual minerals, and carboxyl groups that enhance water-binding capacity. These findings demonstrate the distinct physical properties of carrageenan and alginate, highlighting their different functional potentials as natural hydrocolloids.

Abstract

This review paper examines the critical role of language as a repository for indigenous agricultural knowledge, with specific focus on the traditional Minangkabau agricultural lexicon of West Sumatra, Indonesia. Drawing upon interdisciplinary perspectives from ethnolinguistics, ethnobotany, and cultural anthropology, this study synthesizes existing literature to demonstrate how agricultural terminology encodes generations of ecological wisdom, sustainable farming practices, and cultural values. The Minangkabau people, renowned for their matrilineal social system and strong cultural traditions, have developed a rich vocabulary related to rice cultivation, agroforestry, and land management that represents an invaluable repository of traditional ecological knowledge. This review identifies the structural characteristics of the agricultural lexicon, examines its role in transmitting indigenous knowledge across generations, and discusses the threats posed by modernization and language shift. The findings underscore the urgent need for documentation and revitalization efforts to preserve this linguistic heritage as a foundation for sustainable agricultural development and biocultural diversity conservation.

Abstract

The high level of corn production in Lampung Province has the potential to generate a large amount of corncob agricultural waste. Corncobs are lignocellulosic residues with a high cellulose content, making them a promising raw material for the production of biodegradable bioplastics. This study aimed to produce and characterize corncob cellulose–based bioplastics combined with chitosan as active packaging to extend the shelf life of food products, particularly pempek. Cellulose was extracted through acid hydrolysis, delignification, alkalization, and bleaching processes, and subsequently formulated into bioplastic films using the solution casting method with varying cellulose concentrations. The bioplastics were characterized in terms of thickness, tensile strength, elongation, biodegradability, and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR). The results showed that increasing cellulose content led to an increase in bioplastic thickness and tensile strength, while elongation and biodegradability decreased. Bioplastic thickness increased from 0.18 mm to 0.25 mm, and tensile strength increased from 0.96 MPa to 7.55 MPa with higher cellulose content. Meanwhile, elongation decreased from 98.6% to 45.21%, and biodegradability declined from 38.91% to 23.61%. In addition, the WVTR decreased to 0.021 g/m²·h at the highest cellulose concentration, indicating improved water vapor barrier properties. These findings suggest that corncob cellulose–based bioplastics with chitosan have strong potential to be developed as environmentally friendly active packaging for food products requiring mechanical protection and moisture control.

Abstract

Indonesia's dependence on imported wheat flour has encouraged the development of food products based on local raw materials. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the proportion of kepok banana flour (Musa acuminata × balbisiana) and lima bean flour (Phaseolus lunatus L.) on the chemical, physical, and organoleptic characteristics of lidah kucing cookies and to determine the best formulation. The study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of five treatments with three replications. Treatments were based on different proportions of wheat flour, kepok banana flour, and lima bean flour. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at a 5% significance level. The results showed that flour proportion significantly affected (p < 0.05) moisture content, ash content, protein content, fat content, carbohydrate content, crude fiber content, hardness, and color of lidah kucing cookies. However, it did not significantly affect panelists' preference levels for aroma, taste, and texture. The best formulation was treatment E, consisting of 50% wheat flour, 20% kepok banana flour, and 30% lima bean flour, which produced cookies with 3.62% moisture content, 2.05% ash content, 9.49% protein, 22.95% fat, 61.88% carbohydrates, 2.10% crude fiber, and a hardness value of 137.20 N/cm². The panelists’ preference scores for color, aroma, taste, and texture were 3.84, 3.88, 4.16, and 4.20, respectively. These findings indicate that the use of kepok banana flour and lima bean flour as partial substitutes for wheat flour can enhance the protein and fiber content of lidah kucing cookies while maintaining consumer acceptability Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and InfrastructureSDG 11: Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesSDG 12: Responsible Consumption and ProductionSDG 13: Climate Action

Abstract

Lump is one of the processed rubber materials derived from latex of rubber trees and clusters of latex obtained from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree. Generally, lumps can be utilized as the basic material for component manufacturing. In the production of component products, additives such as filling materials, vulcanization agents, plasticizers, activators, antioxidants, and accelerators are required. This research utilizes EFB charcoal as a filling material in the production of rubber components to substitute carbon black, which will be used as a motorcycle footrest pad. The objective of this study is to analyze the characteristics of rubber components for motorcycle footrest pads with EFB filler as a filling material, and to obtain the best formulation in rubber component manufacturing that meets the hardness test parameters according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The method used is a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with one factor, namely the rubber component formula. This study consists of 5 treatments repeated 4 times, resulting in 20 experimental units. The results of the study showed that the physical and mechanical properties of each substitution treatment had the same characteristics with a reduction or decrease in test results for each test parameter carried out. However, based on the test results for each test parameter carried out, there were only 4 treatments that were still included in the SNI standard for hardness tests for step motors, namely F1 (0:60), F2(10:50), F3(20:40) and F4(30:30).. While the F5(40:20)treatment was still below the SNI standard. The best treatment was still obtained in the F2(10:50) treatment with a hardness value of 69.05 Shore A.

Abstract

This study investigates the enhancement of seawater NaCl concentration using a combination of ion exchange pretreatment and spray-assisted heating as an alternative method for a more efficient and sustainable salt concentration process. The novelty of this study lies in the utilization of Dowex cation and anion exchange resin pretreatment prior to the spray heating process to reduce impurity ions that may affect the NaCl concentration process. This study aims to analyze the effect of nozzle-to-heating plate distance variations (16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 cm) and spraying flow rates (25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 60, and 70 L/h) on the increase of seawater %Brix values. Before the concentration process, seawater was pretreated using Dowex cation and anion exchange resins for 25 minutes to reduce impurity ion content. The results showed that the optimum operating condition was achieved at a nozzle distance of 16 cm and a spraying flow rate of 45 L/h for 5 hours, resulting in a maximum concentration of 15 %Brix. The concentration enhancement was also indicated by the darker color of the solution due to the increase in dissolved solids content. Scientifically, this study demonstrates that ion exchange pretreatment followed by spray heating can improve the effectiveness of seawater concentration. Furthermore, this method has the potential to be applied in the salt industry as a more energy-efficient alternative technology, supporting the improvement of national salt raw material quality and contributing to the development of more sustainable salt production processes.

Abstract

Plectranthus scutellarioides (L.) R.Br., commonly known as Coleus scutellarioides, has been traditionally recognized for its medicinal properties, yet the synergy between its antioxidant capacity and its antibacterial efficacy against clinical pathogens, using modern extraction techniques remains limited and underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity and antibacterial efficacy of the ethanol extract of P. scutellarioides leaves against Staphylococcus aureus. The extract was obtained by ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) using 96% ethanol as the solvent. Antioxidant activity was assessed through DPPH radical scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The antibacterial potential was determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) using the dilution method. The ethanolic extract of P. scutellarioides exhibited antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 154.54 ppm for DPPH and 146.47 ppm for FRAP assays, compared to vitamin C controls with IC50 values of 3.54 ppm and 3.57 ppm, respectively. Furthermore, the extract showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus with MIC and MBC values of 1.95 mg/mL and 3.90 mg/mL, respectively. These findings demonstrate that the ethanol extract of P. scutellarioides leaves possesses moderate antioxidant and significant antibacterial activities, highlighting its potential as a natural source for therapeutic agents.

Abstract

Cow manure waste at Subak Mertasari, Jembrana, Bali, was largely unprocessed and applied raw to agricultural fields, causing slow nutrient release and environmental contamination. This community service program responded to that problem by introducing a nutrient-enrichment method for cow manure-based organic compost, using biochar, effective microorganisms (EM4), molasses, agricultural lime (dolomite), and NPK fertilizer as enrichment agents. Twenty subak members took part across five implementation stages: socialization, technical training, compost production, quality monitoring, and business sustainability. Biomass waste was first converted to porous biochar through pyrolysis, then co-composted with inoculated cow manure over roughly 30 days. The resulting fertilizer met SNI 19-7030-2004 criteria: dark brown to black, crumbly, moisture below 20%, and free of offensive odor. Biochar addition raised soil pH and cation exchange capacity (CEC) while locking carbon in a stable form that limits greenhouse gas release. On the socio-economic side, farmers gained the skills to produce fertilizer independently, and a cooperative-based business unit was established for commercial distribution. These results show that integrated compost enrichment is a practical and scalable approach to sustainable agriculture in Bali.
