Abstract

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a climacteric fruit that continues to ripen after harvest, leading to rapid spoilage and a short shelf life. This study investigated the use of cocoa pod husk pectin (Theobroma cacao L.) extracted via acid hydrolysis as a base material for edible coating, characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Various formulations were developed by combining cocoa pectin with sungkai leaf extract (Peronema canescens Jack) and compared to standard pectin (K, PC1–PC6). Physicochemical properties of tomatoes were analyzed over 15 days of storage (days 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15), focusing on weight loss, decay rate, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, total antioxidant content, and total phenolic content. FTIR confirmed similar functional groups between cocoa pectin and standard pectin. Among the formulations, PC2 (pectin + aqueous sungkai extract) showed the best performance with 8.10% weight loss, 8.89% decay rate, 2.50° Brix, 0.36% titratable acidity, 0.65 mg AA/g FW antioxidant content, and 4.90 mg GAE/g FW phenolic content after 15 days at room temperature. Overall, cocoa pectin combined with sungkai leaf extract effectively maintained tomato quality and extended shelf life.

Abstract

Analogue rice is an artificial rice made from carbohydrate sources, both in form and nutritional composition that are almost similar to rice. This study utilised flour (mocaf, pedada fruit, soybean) as raw materials due to their limited availability. The addition of GMS functions as a stabiliser and emulsifier during extrusion, making the extrudate non-sticky, improving physical properties and texture, reducing the occurrence of excessive extrudate development, and improving the shape of the final product of analogue rice after the hydration process. This study aims to analyse the effect of composite flour proportions (mocaf, pedada fruit, soybean) and GMS (Glyserol Monostearate) addition on the characteristics of analogue rice, and to obtain the best treatment of analogue rice with product characteristics preferred by panellists. The study was arranged by using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors and two replications. Factor I, namely the flour proportions (mocaf, pedada fruit, soybeans) consisting of (75:5:20; 70:10:20; 65:15:20), while factor II was the addition of GMS (1%, 2%, 3%). The best treatment results were obtained at the proportions of flour (mocaf, pedada fruit, soybean) (75:5:20) with the addition of 1% GMS resulting in a water content of 4.96%, ash content of 1.55%, fat content of 3.08%, protein content of 8.45%, carbohydrate content of 81.96%, starch content of 66.34%, amylose content of 20.24%, rehydration power of 124.02%, and expansion volume of 145.80%.

Abstract

Anemia and stunting are significant public health issues that require immediate attention to prevent adverse impacts on maternal and child health, as well as the overall quality of human resources. One of the leading causes of maternal mortality is iron deficiency anemia, often compounded by inadequate antenatal care (ANC). In addition, poor maternal nutritional status negatively affects pregnancy outcomes, such as low birth weight, and hinders optimal growth and development in infants—factors that contribute to the risk of stunting. In both Indonesia and Vietnam, the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women remains high, ranging between 30–40%. Similarly, the prevalence of stunting in both countries is also elevated, estimated at 20–30%. Given this situation, early intervention through nutrition education for pregnant women is crucial to improve dietary patterns that meet balanced nutritional needs. Moreover, monitoring antenatal care practices is necessary to assess the level of compliance and ensure proper pregnancy management. This community engagement activity involves collaboration with health workers from the sub-health centers (Puskesmas Pembantu) in Medan, Indonesia, and Hanoi, Vietnam, as local partners. It is expected that by empowering pregnant women through nutrition education, maternal nutritional status can be improved, thereby contributing to the fulfillment of the First 1,000 Days of Life (HPK) nutrition framework and ultimately supporting efforts to prevent stunting.

Abstract

This observation analyzes Minyakita sales forecasting at PT Java Agri Sukses Makmur using the POM-QM application. Accurate sales forecasting is important for stock planning and management. Sales data were collected through interviews conducted over three months (March-May 2025). Three forecasting methods were employed, namely linear trend analysis, Single Exponential Smoothing, and Simple Moving Average. The results of Trend Analysis Linear show a sales pattern that tends to increase. The regression equation is Demand(y) = 11,267.68 + 881.664xTime. Although the Bias value (0.001) is close to zero, error values such as MAD (4,663,778), MSE (28,397,000), and Standard Error (5,837.5) show a fairly high error rate. However, the MAPE value (30.745%) is considered feasible for medium-term forecasting. The correlation coefficient of 0.496 and R² of 0.246 indicate a moderate relationship, with the variation in sales explained by time accounting for only 24.6%. Single Exponential Smoothing (\alpha=0.1) resulted in a Bias of 1,684.15 (tends to underestimate) and MAPE of 32.77%, with a forecast of 17,307.56 units for the next period. Simple Moving Average shows a MAPE of 27.191% (feasible), with a forecast of 19,616.25 cartons. Overall, the linear trend model is suitable for identifying long-term patterns, but less responsive to short-term fluctuations. These forecasting results are expected to support PT Java Agri Sukses Makmur in production and marketing strategies.

Abstract

Indonesia is expected to compete with other countries in the industrial sector, which plays a crucial role in the economic growth of a nation for its development. In several industries in Indonesia, NaOH plays a critical role in the production process, serving both as a primary component and as a supporting component. In the chemical industry, the chlor-alkali process is a crucial electrolytic technique utilized. The products generated from this process include Cl2, H2, and NaOH. This research utilizes traditional salt as a raw material for the production of NaOH, considering that traditional salt has a high NaCl content and also contains H2O, which is expected to yield NaOH with optimal concentration. This study aims to produce technical-grade NaOH that complies with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) by examining the effects of electrical voltage and electrolysis time on the NaOH produced through the electrolysis process. The stages of this research include the preparation of a salt solution, the electrolysis process, and product analysis. The study was conducted with an NaCl concentration of 86.72% at electrical voltages of 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15 volts during the electrolysis process. Additionally, the electrolysis durations used were 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 minutes. The weight of NaOH produced at an electrical voltage of 12.5 volts and a time of 100 minutes was 1.081 grams of NaOH.

Abstract

Batu City is recognised as one of Indonesia's primary apple production centres, boasting significant potential for the development of fruit-based processed products. This study aims to analyze the mass balance and yield at each stage of the apple juice production process to obtain optimal production efficiency. The production process involves washing, crushing, filtering, mixing, cooking, and packaging. The mass balance was analyzed based on the principle of mass balance, while the yield was calculated from the ratio of output to input at each process stage. The results showed that the filtering process produced the lowest yield of 91.6% due to the waste of apple pulp, while the crushing and mixing process showed a yield of 100%. The mass balance calculation showed a match between the input and output masses at each process stage. This study emphasizes the importance of applying process engineering principles in food processing to increase efficiency, reduce material waste, and ensure production sustainability.
