Abstract

The food industry has increased so the need for food packaging has also increased. One of the packaging that is often used is Styrofoam, where Styrofoam contains chemical substances namely styrene, butyl hydroxytoluene, and polytyrene which can migrate to food and is harmful to humans because it is carcinogenic. One of the alternatives to styrofoam is bio-foam. Biofoam is an alternative packaging to replace styrofoam because it is made from natural raw materials, namely a mixture of starch, fibers, and synthetic polymers that are easily biodegradable. The natural ingredients used in the study were tapioca flour as a source of starch and yellow soybean hull flour as a source of fiber. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the ratio of proportions in opioids and yellow soybean hulls with the addition of glycerol on the characteristics of the bio-foam produced. This study uses a completely random design method with 2 factors. Factor I is the ratio of tapioca flour and yellow soybean hull flour, which is 70:30, 50:50, and 30:70. Factor II is the addition of glycerol by 5%, 10%, and 15%. The observation data was analyzed using ANOVA, if there was a real interaction or influence on the two treatments, then a DMRT test was carried out with a confidence level of 5%. The best treatment results were obtained through the Zeleny method, namely the treatment of the proportion of tapioca flour as a basic ingredient: yellow soybean hulls flour (30:70) and the addition of glycerol of 15% with the results of the analysis of moisture content of 15.76%, starch content of 17.53%, density of 1.13 gr/cm3, water absorption of 14.67%, biodegradability of 8.14% (±8 weeks) and tensile strength of 11.03Mpa

Abstract

White bread is a food product generally derived from wheat flour that is consumed by the majority of people around the world. Innovations continue to be made to increase the nutritional value of bread. The use of pedada fruit (Sonneratia caseolaris) as a local food rich in fiber is an alternative to mixing with wheat flour. This study was conducted to determine the physical and organoleptic properties of wheat flour white bread with pedada flour. Organoleptic quality assessment was conducted with the participation of 25 panelists. Sensory attributes that are referenced by panelists include color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall. Data analysis used a T-test to determine the real difference between two treatments with a significant level (<0.05) including development volume, number of pores, texture, and organoleptic test. White Bread with a proportion of 80% wheat flour and 20% pedada produced a loaf volume (138.04%), porosity (11,722/cm2), and texture with texture analyzer (5,892 gf). The organoleptic test showed that the bread with 80% wheat flour and 20% pedada flour received positive ratings in terms of color and aroma, but received low ratings in terms of texture and taste.

Abstract

Arabica coffee is a coffee commodity that is widely found in Indonesia because it is considered superior in terms of taste. Arabica coffee contains various biochemical compounds, one of which is caffeine, which is known to overcome drowsiness and reduce physical fatigue. However, caffeine use can also lead to negative side effects, such as anxiety, increased blood pressure, and decreased fine motor skills. This study addresses the public demand for lower caffeine coffee to minimize these side effects. The research focuses on reducing caffeine levels by examining coffee bean size and solvent concentration during decaffeination. . The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial pattern with two factors and two replications. The first factor was coffee bean particle size (4 mesh, 6 mesh, and 8 mesh) and the second factor was maceration process with citric acid solution concentration (1%, 3%, and 5%). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Varience (ANOVA) and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The results showed that the treatment of 8 mesh coffee bean size with 5% citric acid solution concentration produced the best caffeine content (1.324 mg/g). In addition, the characteristic values of moisture content (3.436%), ash content (2.065%), and phenol content (29.472 mg GAE/g), were obtained. And organoleptic test results with attributes of fragrant-very fragrant aroma (3.55), blackish-brown-black color (3.65), and bitter-very bitter taste (3.5).

Abstract

Sensory evaluation is a crucial activity in food product development and affects consumer preference, particularly for flake products. Flakes are foods in the form of thin or flaky pieces, generally made from cereal grains. The raw materials used in this study are purple sweet potato flour, which is high in starch (74.57%), and edamame flour, which is high in protein (36.15%). Different formulations will affect the formation of sensory attributes and characteristics of flake products. The sensory evaluation method used in this study is the Just About Right (JAR) method, aimed at analyzing the sensory attributes of flake samples that influence overall liking assessment (p-value < 0.05; panelist response percentage > 20%; and high mean drops), in order to determine the most optimal product formulation. Sensory evaluation of the product was conducted by testing 13 attributes using JAR and hedonic scales (overall liking). The data obtained were processed using XLSTAT 2024 software. Based on the analysis results, the F2 flake product formulation (80% Purple Sweet Potato Flour: 20% Edamame Flour) is the most optimal product formulation, where the attributes that need optimization are taste (Earthy – Sweet, p-value = 0.027) and aftertaste (Earthy, p-value = 0.0003).

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the key factors influencing rice farmers' decisions to sell their production in East OKU Regency. Methodology: The research was conducted in three districts—East Buay Madang, Buay Madang, and Madang Suku I—selected purposively based on their large rice production areas. Using a case study approach, data were collected from 118 respondents through multi-stage random sampling. Logit regression analysis was employed to identify the factors affecting farmers' sales decisions. The results indicate that production volume, urgent financial needs, middlemen involvement, and milling costs significantly influence farmers' decisions to sell their rice in the form of grain. Meanwhile, labor availability does not have a significant impact. The findings highlight that most farmers prefer selling unprocessed grain due to immediate financial needs and dependency on middlemen, despite the lower prices compared to selling processed rice.: To enhance farmers' income and economic resilience, it is essential to stabilize grain prices, reduce milling costs, and provide better financial support and market access. Encouraging more farmers to process their grain into rice before selling could lead to greater profitability and reduced reliance on middlemen.
