Abstract

This study aims to analyze and develop a business strategy of the lumindai palm sugar industry in Sawahlunto City, Indonesia by combining BMC and SWOT approaches. To identify the industry, a BMC mapping is initially performed. The results from the BMC serve as inputs for categorizing business development elements. These elements are then divided into four SWOT categories: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Each factor within these categories is evaluated and assigned a value, followed by an analysis using IFE and EFE. The IFE analysis yields a score of 3.045, indicating strong internal capital for industry development. Conversely, the EFE score of 2.636 suggests that the industry's external conditions are moderate. The IFE and EFE results then serve as a basis for formulating relevant strategies using the IE matrix. According to the IE matrix, the industry falls into cell IV, placing it in the Grow and Build position. This position is used to develop detailed strategic specifications in the SWOT matrix, which provides actionable insights for industry growth.

Abstract

Candied tomato dates are processed candies made from tomatoes that are dried until they are shaped like dates. Sensory profiles are needed to obtain candied date tomatoes with the most optimal betel lime solution concentration treatment and blanching time based on penalty analysis methods (JAR and hedonic scales). This study used the just about right method combined with the hedonic scale (overall liking) in the treatment of candied date tomatoes with a concentration of betel lime solution (2%, 3% and 4% (b/b)) and blanching time (5 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 minutes). There are 17 sensory attributes that will be tested through the assessment of the JAR scale and the hedonic scale (overall liking). The data obtained was then processed using XLSTAT 2024 software. Based on the results of the penalty analysis, it was shown that the most optimal candied date tomatoes were candied date tomatoes with a concentration treatment of 3% betel lime solution and a blanching time of 15 minutes where there were 14 insignificant test attributes or p-value?0.05. Meanwhile, there are only 3 sensory attributes that need to be optimized or p-value?0.05, namely juicy texture (p-value = 0.002), sweet taste (p-value = <0.0001) and fruity taste (p-value = 0.017).
