Abstract

This study aims to analyze the value added, financial feasibility, and quality of bengkuang (jicama) chips produced by the Jelly Snack'O enterprise in Padang City. The Hayami Method was used for the value-added analysis, while Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Benefit Cost (B/C) Ratio were used for the financial feasibility analysis, alongside a quality evaluation based on Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 01-4305-1996. The results show that processing bengkuang into chips generated a value added of IDR 185,496.44 per kg of bengkuang raw material, with a value-added ratio of 91.29% (high category), and IDR 76,317.50 per kg of wheat flour raw material, with a ratio of 75.12% (high category). The financial feasibility analysis indicates that the business is feasible, with an NPV of IDR 5,528,400, an IRR of 64.90%, a B/C Ratio of 1.10, and a payback period of approximately 17 months. The quality evaluation shows that the bengkuang chips met all parameters of SNI 01-4305-1996, with a final product moisture content of 1.72% (maximum requirement 6.0%). The SWOT analysis identified business development strategies through improved packaging, product certification (PIRT – Indonesia's home-industry food production permit – and Halal certification), flavor diversification, and expanded digital marketing. This study recommends synergy between business operators and local government in developing the bengkuang chip agroindustry as one of Padang City's flagship products.

Abstract

Coffee husk is a by-product of coffee processing that contains carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and bioactive compounds; however, its utilization remains limited and is generally associated with low-value applications. Therefore, developing coffee husk into fruit leather is expected to provide an alternative strategy to increase the added value of this by-product while producing a value-added food product. This study aimed to determine the effect of pineapple addition and carrageenan concentration on the physicochemical, antioxidant, and organoleptic characteristics of coffee husk leather and to determine the best formulation. The study used a completely randomized design with a two-factor factorial arrangement and two replications. The first factor was pineapple addition at 20%, 30%, and 40% of the total formulation, while the second factor was carrageenan concentration at 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1.0%. The results showed that pineapple addition and carrageenan concentration significantly affected coffee husk leather characteristics. The best treatment was obtained from the formulation containing 40% pineapple and 1.0% carrageenan, which had a moisture content of 9.18%, reducing sugar content of 64.51%, vitamin C content of 53.15 mg/100 g, antioxidant activity of 71.13% inhibition based on the DPPH assay, crude fiber content of 21.95%, and tensile strength of 0.01554 N/mm². The organoleptic scores were 3.88 for color, 3.52 for taste, 3.56 for aroma, and 3.48 for texture, which were categorized as neutral. These findings indicate that the formulation of 40% pineapple and 1.0% carrageenan can be applied to improve the physicochemical and antioxidant characteristics of coffee husk leather, while supporting the valorization of coffee husk into a value-added food product.

Abstract

Layer poultry productivity depends on flock health, biosecurity, feed utilization, and data-driven decision-making. Berkah Tigan Farm in Boyolali, Indonesia, struggled with inconsistent biosecurity and fragmented production records. This study evaluated an integrated intervention that combined participatory biosecurity improvements (sanitation, disinfection, PPE, access control) with a digital monitoring system among 20 farmers. The digital system automated Hen-Day Production (HD%) and Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) tracking while estimating next-day feed requirements using a 45-day historical sequence. A proof-of-concept forecasting trial predicted 179.4 kg/day versus an actual 180.0 kg/day (0.33% error). Overall, combining preventive biosecurity with digital monitoring provides a practical, systematic framework for data-driven layer poultry management..

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Wanagiri Village, Bali, hold significant potential to strengthen the local economy through diverse processed food products. However, limited digital marketing adoption and uneven managerial capacities constrain their market reach and competitiveness. This study evaluates the impact of digital marketing and effective business management on market expansion among processed food MSMEs in Wanagiri. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were gathered from 20 actively participating MSMEs via structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The empirical results indicate that both digital marketing (p < 0.05) and effective management (p < 0.05) positively and significantly affect market expansion. While digital platforms broaden promotional reach and customer engagement, effective management ensures operational stability, quality control, and order fulfilment. The findings underscore that digital marketing achieves optimal results when paired with robust business governance, providing key strategic insights for rural MSME development.

Abstract

Unsignalized intersections are vulnerable to performance degradation as traffic volume increases, particularly at the Wadung Asri–Brebek–Gedong Masjid Intersection in Sidoarjo Regency. This study aims to analyze the intersection performance based on the 2023 Indonesian Highway Capacity Guidelines (PKJI 2023) and compare the effectiveness of a roundabout and a signalized intersection (APILL) as alternative treatments under projected traffic growth. The research method involved manual traffic surveys conducted over four days during peak hours, including traffic volume and intersection geometric data. The results show that the existing condition has a degree of saturation (DS) of 0.88 with an average delay of 15.16 s/SMP. Based on the traffic projection for the design year of 2030, the DS increases to 1.11, with an average delay of 26.08 s/SMP, indicating that the intersection does not meet the PKJI 2023 standard (DS < 0.85). The first treatment involved geometric widening of each intersection approach and designing a roundabout, resulting in a DS of 1.07 and an average delay of 52.00 s/SMP. The second treatment involved geometric widening of each intersection approach and the design of a four-phase signalized intersection, resulting in a DS of 0.79 and an average delay of 51.80 s/SMP. Therefore, geometric widening combined with a four-phase signalized intersection is recommended as the preferred treatment alternative because it achieves a DS that meets the PKJI 2023 standard, with a relatively comparable delay to the roundabout alternative.

Abstract

Fly ash is a solid waste generated from coal combustion in power plants. This study presents an optimized method for extracting high-purity silica from coal fly ash using Sequential Acid-Alkaline Leaching (SAAL) with HCl concentration variations (1–3 M), followed by magnesiothermic reduction and ultrasonic bath sonication (90–150 minutes) to produce nanosilicon. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis showed that 1 M HCl produced the highest silica purity (97.86%). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) characterization revealed that 150 minutes of sonication significantly reduced average silicon particle size to 6.26 nm through acoustic cavitation mechanisms. Electrical testing showed a resistance value of 3.93 M?. These findings demonstrate an effective approach for converting coal waste into high-value nanosilicon, supporting sustainable industrial practices and circular economy principles.

Abstract

Hybrid rose plants are not only valuable as floriculture commodities, but also have the potential to be a source of bioactive compounds. In cultivation activities, leaves and stems from pruning are often not fully utilized, so a scientific basis is needed to select the most promising biomass and to develop a simple extraction process. This study analyzed total flavonoids, total phenolics, and antioxidant capacity in red, pink, white, and purple flowers, stems, and leaves of Rosa × hybrida Schleich. We extracted fresh samples by infusion in distilled water at 90 °C for 15 minutes. Total flavonoids were determined by AlCl3 complexation and expressed as mg QE/g FW; total phenolics were determined with Folin–Ciocalteu as mg GAE/g FW; while antioxidant capacity was measured by DPPH and the Modified Phenanthroline Method (MPM) as mg AAE/g FW. The highest flavonoids were found in purple stems (37.046 ± 17.557 mg QE/g FW), the highest phenolics in pink flowers (20.286 ± 1.704 mg GAE/g FW), the highest DPPH in purple leaves (10.928 ± 1.227 mg AAE/g FW), and the highest MPM in purple stems (7.762 ± 3.111 mg AAE/g FW). DPPH and MPM were highly correlated in flowers, stems, and leaves (r = 0.997–0.999). These findings suggest that vegetative biomass, especially purple rose stems and leaves, should be prioritized for the development of aqueous extracts and the valorization of pruning biomass. This study is a laboratory proof of concept; economic impact, community adoption, safety, and product performance still require further pilot testing.

Abstract

Syrup drinks sold around elementary schools need to be monitored for safety because they may contain artificial sweeteners that must be used in accordance with applicable regulations. This study aimed to identify the use of saccharin and cyclamate and to analyze the association between seller characteristics and qualitative cyclamate detection in syrup drinks sold around elementary schools in Mojokerto City. This cross-sectional observational study used qualitative laboratory analysis and involved 15 syrup beverage sellers selected through saturated sampling. Saccharin and cyclamate were qualitatively identified, while the association between seller characteristics and cyclamate detection was analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation. All respondents were female (100%), most aged 41–50 years (66.7%), with junior high school education (46.7%) and 6–10 years of selling experience (40.0%). Syrup drinks ranged from IDR 3,500 to IDR 5,000 per glass. The analytical method did not qualitatively detect saccharin in any samples, whereas it qualitatively detected cyclamate in 5 samples (33.3%). No statistically significant associations were found between cyclamate detection and education level (p = 0.489), knowledge of artificial sweeteners (p = 0.140), or length of selling experience (p = 0.376). Because qualitative analytical methods were used, the concentrations of cyclamate in the positive samples could not be determined, and therefore compliance with the applicable maximum permitted level could not be assessed. Quantitative analysis is required to determine cyclamate concentrations and assess regulatory compliance.

Abstract

Coastal development projects can influence marine ecosystems by modifying sediment dynamics, water quality, and habitat characteristics. This study evaluated the ecological condition of coastal waters in Nusa Dua and Tanjung Benoa during the Bali Beach Conservation Project by assessing plankton and benthic communities as biological indicators. Community composition, abundance, and ecological indices were analyzed to characterize spatial variations in ecosystem conditions. Phytoplankton analysis identified 11 taxa, dominated by Bacillariophyceae, with higher abundance recorded in Nusa Dua (694.65 cells L?¹) compared with Tanjung Benoa (14.85 cells L?¹). Benthic assessment identified 22 taxa belonging to Gastropoda, Bivalvia, and Polychaeta. Ecological analysis showed that Tanjung Benoa exhibited a higher Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H? = 2.30) and evenness (E = 0.95) than Nusa Dua (H? = 1.95; E = 0.68), indicating a more balanced distribution of benthic individuals despite lower species richness. These variations suggest that plankton and benthic assemblages reflect spatial changes in environmental conditions associated with coastal activities. This study highlights the value of biological monitoring as a complementary approach to conventional water quality assessments and provides scientific support for sustainable coastal management and infrastructure development.

Abstract

Strawberries are non-climacteric fruits that are highly perishable and have a short shelf life. Preserving fruit with edible coatings has garnered significant attention because of their low cost and ease of preparation. This study determined the optimal formulation of an edible coating made from cassava starch and moringa leaf extract based on its effects on strawberry physicochemical properties, and then examined the characteristics of the optimal edible coating. Strawberries coated with different edible coating formulations were stored at 28°C for nine days, and physicochemical properties including weight loss, decay rate, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and antioxidant activity were evaluated. The results showed that strawberries coated with the edible coating performed better than uncoated strawberries on day 9. Strawberries treated with T5 comprising 2% cassava starch, 0.5% CMC, 1% glycerol, 1.5% moringa leaf extract, and 95% distilled water exhibited the best results, with a weight loss of 27.52%, spoilage of 4.44%, total dissolved solids of 8.07%, total titratable acidity of 1.31%, and total antioxidant activity of 24.39 mg AAE/gFW. We characterised the T5 edible coating using FTIR, viscosity, and spreadability tests, compared with the treatment without moringa leaf extract (T2). FTIR revealed chemical interactions between cassava starch and moringa leaf extract in T5 and T2. The viscosity of T5 1628.67 cP is lower than that of T2 1817.33 cP. The spreading power of T5 2.13 g·cm/s is greater than that of T2 1.96 g·cm/s.
