Abstract

Sambal is often found in various menu variants served in the Indonesian food industry; this is a supporting factor for creating bottled chili sauce. In this research, fermented black garlic chili sauce was made with black garlic as raw material to provide added value in the form of antibacterial and antioxidant compounds, as well as giving a novelty value to the product as well as a differentiator in the elements of color, aroma, consistency, and taste of the product. The final product consumers receive is compared to "Cahyo" garlic chili sauce produced by PT. Deltasari Indah Restaurant. Sambal contains oil/fat, which is quickly rancid, thus affecting the element of consumer acceptance. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the shelf life of bottled chili products. This research aims to predict the shelf life of the black garlic chili sauce and “Cahyo” garlic chili sauce products in bottles produced by PT. Deltasari Indah Restaurant with the ASLT method, the Arrhenius model approach; Knowing the difference in the shelf life of bottled chili products stored at different temperature conditions; and determining the proper temperature and storage conditions to get the maximum shelf life for packaged chili products. This study uses the Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing method with the Arrhenius model. Based on the pH value parameter, the shelf life of black garlic chili sauce was 33 days, and “Cahyo” garlic chili sauce was 45 days. These two results are the results of the shelf life obtained from calculations at 20˚C and 25˚C then the average value is taken.

Abstract

The characteristics of indigenous bacterial isolates in cocoa farms differ based on the study's location and methodology. More research is required to comprehend these bacterial isolates' diversity and features completely. This study intends to assess the cellulose-degrading capacity of bacterial isolates from cocoa plantations in Meko Village, Central Sulawesi. The shape of the bacterial colony, the shape of the colony's edge, elevation, colony size, color, and texture are considered during macroscopic morphological identification and microscopic morphological identification after gram stain. Afterward, gram stains the bacteria to determine the type of cell wall. Hydrolysis capacity was then identified macroscopically by observing colony shape, colony periphery, colony color, colony appearance and height, and hydrolysis capacity on media in a petri dish (HC). Upon microscopic examination of cell shape and bacterial wall type (Gram-positive and gram-negative). Based on the research findings and identification of bacteria capable of degrading cellulose in cocoa soil, it can be inferred that among the 28 examined isolates, six isolates have the greatest HC index values in KL62 isolates. In contrast, GL66, KL23, and KL62x isolates have medium HC index values.

Abstract

Paneer is a nutritious, delectable acid-heat-coagulated indigenous dairy product, but it has a short shelf life due to its high moisture content. However, herbs are known for their qualities as antioxidants, preservatives, and flavor enhancers. Therefore, the current study examined the quality parameters such as (titratable acidity, lactose, moisture content, ash content, fat content, protein content, phenolic content, and sensory parameters) of herbal paneer produced by incorporating cardamom powder percentages in four different samples 0.15% with cow milk, 0.20% with cow milk, 0.15% with buffalo milk and 0.20% with buffalo milk and coded as (A, B, C, and D). The findings showed that the herbal paneer was superior in terms of organoleptic but had little to no impact on the paneer's proximate and physiochemical parameters. The herbal paneer samples slightly higher total phenolic content of buffalo milk paneer compared to the cow milk paneer. The 0.20% of cardamom with buffalo milk sample was effective overall. As a result, the study suggests that cardamom could be used to develop a novel functional dairy product with enhanced antioxidant properties and longer shelf life.

Abstract

Determining the level of caffeine in coffee grounds is very important so that people can consume coffee in a safe amount. Based on SNI 01-7152-2006 the permitted dose of caffeine is 50-150 mg/day. This study aims to describe the level of caffeine in local coffee powder originating from coffee powder SMEs in Pasaman Regency. Coffee powder samples were taken from the two largest coffee powder SMEs in Pasaman Regency, namely Matahari coffee powder SMEs and Gunpas coffee powder SMEs. The caffeine content obtained in this study will be compared with the standard caffeine content according to SNI 013542-2004 which is 0.45-2.00% and SNI 01-7152-2006 which is the maximum limit for caffeine consumption per day of 50-150 mg/day. The method used in this research is UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results of the analysis of caffeine levels in four samples per 1 gram of coffee powder are sample A 6.878 mg; sample B 6.855mg; sample C 6,674mg; sample D 7,688mg. In one cup of coffee, 4 grams of coffee powder is used, so that the caffeine content of coffee powder circulating in Pasaman Regency is still safe for consumption per day. In percentage units of caffeine content, based on the four samples analyzed, sample A is 0.687%; sample B 0.685%; sample C 0.667%; sample D 0.768%. The coffee caffeine content produced is following with the requirements of SNI 01-3542-2004.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to provide up-to-date information on inland fisheries landings in Basrah province, Iraq. During 2020-2021, the species composition, species and total landings, and trends at six landing locations in the research region were assessed. There were seven species of cyprinids, three species of cichlids, three species of mullet, and two species of sparids and silurids. The foreign species C. carpio, tilapias species, and C. auratus dominated landings, accounting for 44.2% of the entire catch. In contrast, the highly prized native species (M. sharpeyi, L. xanthopterus, C. luteus, and A. grypus) accounted for just 12.4%. In 2020 and 2021, the total landings reached 2,427.78 t and 2,365.15 t, respectively, greater than the previous years since 2009. This is attributable to the frequency of alien species and the rise in fishing effort, as measured by the number of fishermen and fishing vessels. Improving inland fisheries requires enhancing the stocks of native species, minimizing the dissemination and impacts of some exotic species, and activating national regulations governing fishing, exploitation, and conservation of aquatic life from the fisheries management perspective.

Abstract

The market outlook for chrysanthemum flowers is extremely optimistic, as domestic and international consumer demand has increased over the past five years. The development of chrysanthemum plants is anticipated to positively affect the region's employment opportunities, economic growth, and service sector growth. Along with the increasing intensity of chrysanthemum cultivation in various regions, more in-depth research on chrysanthemum flowers is required to improve quality and added value and utilize the potential of locally available resources that are simple for farmers to apply and have a significant impact on improvement. The majority of chrysanthemum cultivation business actors are small farmers. Chrysanthemum plant technology is distinct from other horticultural crops, requiring special maintenance such as Disbudding, adding artificial light, artificial Defoliation, and the erection of plant enforcement nets. The research method employs the Factorial Group Random Design. The first factor is artificial Defoliation including no defoliation, Defoliation at 30 dap (day after planting) , and Defoliation at 60 dap. The second factor is disbudding including no disbudding, disbudding at 60 dap, and disbudding at 90 dap. The results demonstrated that the interaction between artificial Defoliation and disbudding significantly affected flower stalk weight but did not affect other variables. The treatment of leaf defoliation had significant to very significant effects on all observed variables, except for the weight of flower stalks, which was unaffected. At the same time, the disbudding treatment significantly affects all observed variables. The interaction between leaf defoliation at 30 dap and disbudding at 60 dap resulted in the heaviest average flower stalk weight of 93.58 grams. Artificial Defoliation at 30 dap increased the yield of economically viable fresh flower weight by 8.09 percent compared to when Defoliation was not performed. The 60 dap Disbudding treatment increased the yield of fresh flower weight by 9.25% when compared to the control.
