Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of various citrus fruit juices on the qualities of sliced sapodilla jam. Completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and four replications. A (2% citric acid) served as the control, B (26% lime juice), C (26% lemon juice), and D (26% kaffir lime juice) were the treatments. The data were statistically examined using ANOVA and Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at the 5% significance level. The addition of citrus fruit juice had a substantial influence on the jam's folding test, total titrated acid, pH value, water content, ash content, total dissolved solids, total sugar, crude fiber, and vitamin C did not affect its water activity. According to the chemical features, the addition of lime juice as a source of citric acid resembles the characteristics of sheet jam made with pure citric acid more closely.

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 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

This study examines the impact of biochar and poschar fertilisers derived from livestock manure on red chilli yields and soil organic matter variations. The results demonstrated that the interaction between biochar and poschar substantially affected the fresh chilli pod weight per plant and organic matter content. Applying biochar and poschar organic fertilisers derived from animal manure substantially influenced plant height, fresh fruit weight per plant, and soil organic matter. The interaction between cow manure and poschar from poultry manure produced the highest yield of chilli fruit weight per plant, or an increase of 323.88% compared to the absence of biochar and poschar. The organic matter content of the soil underwent a significant change, with the highest organic matter content resulting from the interaction between chicken biochar and chicken poschar, which increased by 143,00% compared to the control group.

Abstract

Coffee skin waste, which is abundant in Bali's coffee-producing regions, has not been utilized and has become a public health hazard. Therefore, it is necessary to make an effort to utilize it as a beneficial raw material for animal feed, while simultaneously enhancing its quality through fermentation. Using various types of probiotics, the research conducted seeks to improve the quality of the fermentation of coffee skin waste. The study employed a completely randomized design with four kinds of probiotics: EM-4 (P1), Bio Bali Tani (P2), MOL from coffee husk (P3), and Aspergillus niger (P4), with each treatment being administered three times. In weeks 1, 2, and 3, the grade of the fermented product was evaluated in the laboratory. The results demonstrated that fermentation of coffee skin residue improved the quality of coffee skin by reducing the crude fiber content from 27.17–29.46% to 19.18–19.44% and increasing the crude protein content from 9.53–10.23% to 11.56–17.67%. The optimal fermentation period was 2 weeks, with a protein concentration of 14.67%, which was significantly different (P 0.05) from 1 week and 3 weeks. It was statistically significant (P 0.05) that LMO probiotics were 16.67% higher than EM-4 probiotics, Bio-Bali Tani, and Aspergillus niger probiotics. It can be concluded that the fermentation of coffee skin waste as animal feed can enhance the crude protein (CP) content, with local microorganisms (LMO) and a fermentation time of two weeks being optimal.

Abstract

Catur Kintamani Village is one of the village areas in Kintamani-Bangli District, besides its cool climate as an Arabica coffee producing area and has received a Geographical Indication Certificate (GIS). Several coffee processing companies have developed, one of which is UPP. Catur Paramita is a business unit of Subak Abian Kenjung Sari. The problem is that coffee skin waste has not been utilized which can disrupt the environment. One alternative solution to the problem is processing coffee husk waste through fermentation using local microorganism (LMO) probiotics from coffee husks for animal feed. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the appearance response of sows given fermented coffee husk waste as a substitute for commercial feed can affect the appearance of sows in the growth phase. The method used to achieve this goal is the experimental design method and the design used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments, namely: Po (without coffee husk waste), P1 (5% substitution of coffee husk waste), and P2 (substitution of 10% coffee husk waste). Each treatment was repeated 3 times. The results showed a significant effect (P<0.05) substitution of fermented coffee husk waste in commercial feed on the growth of pigs aged 1-3 months. The greater the number of substitutions for coffee skin waste up to 10% (P2) had a significant effect (P<0.05) with an increase in body weight of 12.76 kg compared to without substitution (Po) only 7.89 kg and substitution of coffee skin waste 5% (P1) of 10.98 kg. Still, between P1 and Po the difference was not significantly (P>0.05). It can be concluded that substituting commercial feed with fermented coffee husk waste using local microorganisms (LMO) coffee skin as much as 10% significantly improves body weight gain at 1-3 months.

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.
