Abstract

The group members of the Jempiring Women Farmers Group in Bresela Village have limited knowledge and skills in processing traditional snack products that are hygienic, varied, and suitable for sale for “upakara” (religious ritual) purposes. Most of the “upakara” snacks are purchased from outside the village, which has an impact on the community's low local income and lack of economic independence. The method of implementing the activity includes several stages, namely: socialization and counseling regarding the importance of sanitation and hygiene in food processing, practical training in making various types of traditional snacks, such as “jaja uli” and “jaja begina”, which are suitable for “upakara”, and assistance in terms of packaging, pricing, and product marketing. The results of this activity are very significant: the members of the Jempiring group are now not only able to produce traditional snacks independently but have also formed a local marketing network. This success not only increases the group's income but also preserves the traditional Balinese culinary heritage and strengthens the village's economic independence.

Abstract

Industrial processes that discharge heavy metals into the environment are a growing environmental crisis because of the dangers they pose to aquatic life and human health. Nickel (Ni) is one of the most dangerous metals due to its extreme toxicity and its ability to bioaccumulate in food chains. Severe health complications may develop from chronic exposure to nickel. Chemical precipitation, ion exchange, and reverse osmosis are traditional methods used to remove Ni(II) ions from wastewater. Nonetheless, these approaches have drawbacks, such as elevated operational costs, excessive chemical consumption, and inefficiency in treating low-concentration wastewater. The effectiveness of solvothermally synthesised chitosan as an adsorbent for the removal of Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions was examined in this work. Acidity, adsorbent concentration, and contact duration were all carefully measured and analyzed. Optimal adsorption occurred at pH 6, yielding a maximum removal effectiveness of 75% after 75 minutes of contact. An adsorption efficiency of 54.69% was achieved with the optimal adsorbent dose of 0.4 g. Kinetic analysis indicated that the adsorption process followed the Pseudo-Second-Order (PSO) model, with a correlation coefficient (R²) of 0.999, suggesting that chemisorption prevailed via interactions between Ni(II) ions and the –NH? and –OH functional groups on the chitosan surface. The solvothermal modification improved the adsorption capability of the chitosan by increasing its surface area, porosity, and number of active sites.

Abstract

Citrus fruits often experience overproduction, resulting in low prices, and even unmarketable fruit is frequently wasted. This innovation offers a sustainable solution through a zero-waste concept, where all parts of the citrus fruit, from the flesh and peel to the pulp, are optimally utilized. The program focuses on intensive training in producing high-quality orange wine, introducing proper fermentation techniques to create a high-value product. The orange peel and pulp, which are by-products of the winemaking process, are further processed into products such as jam, orange peel candy, or compost, so nothing is wasted. Community service not only provides farmers with new skills in creating innovative products but also teaches the principles of an environmentally friendly circular economy. The expected positive impacts include increased farmer incomes, new business opportunities, and more effective agricultural waste management, making Pengejaran Village a self-sustaining centre for processed citrus production.

Abstract

Food diplomacy has increasingly attracted scholarly attention as a potent form of soft power used to shape national images and influence foreign publics. However, while much of the existing literature celebrates food diplomacy as an effective and benign instrument of cultural exchange, fewer studies critically interrogate its limitations, power dynamics, and long-term implications. This critical literature review evaluates key academic contributions by examining dominant theoretical perspectives, assessing empirical case studies, and identifying significant conceptual gaps. Moving beyond the standard narrative of "winning hearts and minds" , this paper argues that food diplomacy functions as a site of political contestation where authenticity is constructed and regulated for state interests. The review identifies critical tensions, including the commodification of culinary heritage, the marginalization of local producers in favor of elite actors, and the conflict between export-oriented diplomacy and domestic food security. Furthermore, it highlights the lack of robust empirical evidence linking gastrodiplomacy to measurable diplomatic outcomes and questions the superficial use of sustainability narratives. The paper concludes by proposing a future research agenda that integrates political economy, ethics, and rigorous impact evaluation to provide a more holistic understanding of food’s role in international relations.

Abstract

This study aimed to produce gelatin from chicken bones using different acid solvents and soaking times, and to evaluate the quality of the resulting gelatin according to SNI standards. Chicken bones were soaked in 6% HCl, 4% CH?COOH, 7% H?PO?, 0.3 M citric acid, and lime extract for 24 and 48 hours, and then extracted using a water bath at 75°C for 6 hours. The resulting gelatin was analysed for yield, moisture content, ash content, pH, protein content, organoleptic tests (colour and aroma), and FTIR spectrum. The results showed that all types of solvents could produce gelatin that met several quality parameters as specified in SNI 06-3735-1995. FTIR results for the H?PO? sample showed the presence of characteristic gelatin functional groups, namely 3184.32 cm?¹ (Amide A), 1646.58 cm?¹ (Amide I), 1456.74 cm?¹ (Amide II), 1173.34 cm?¹ (Amide III), indicating the successful conversion of collagen into gelatin. The optimal condition was obtained at In the treatment using lime extract with a soaking time of 48 hours, it produced a yield of 3.31%, moisture content of 2.49%, ash content of 1.12%, pH of 4.00, protein content of 79.94%, and the best organoleptic values with scores of 3.20 for color, 1.9 for aroma, and 1.23 for texture. This study indicates that lime can be an effective, environmentally friendly alternative solvent for gelatin production from chicken bone waste.

Abstract

Organic rice farming is one of the crucial strategies to ensure food security in West Sumatra. However, the development of organic rice farming in West Sumatra has not progressed significantly. Only a few farmer groups apply for organic re-certification from the Organic Certification Institute. This study aims to analyze the institutional structure of farmer groups that have successfully maintained organic rice farming systems by examining farmer characteristics, group norms and rules, and social and cultural factors that influence the sustainability of organic rice farming systems. The study was conducted in Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra. Three farmer groups were selected based on their current status of organic rice certification. This study used a multidimensional approach encompassing social, cultural, and economic aspects to assess the sustainability of organic rice farming. Data collection was carried out through a focus group discussion. The result showed that, though farmers' groups are certified, only a few members are implementing an organic rice farming system. However, they are still involved in making compost, natural pesticides, weeding and harvesting. This finding indicates that the main strength of these groups lies in bottom-up institutionalization and internal belief in organic values.

Abstract

This research aimed to examine the physicochemical characteristics of chili powder from three varieties, namely curly chili (Capsicum annuum), bird’s eye chili (Capsicum frutescens), and ghost pepper (Capsicum chinense), which were dried using a food dehydrator at 65 °C for 10 hours. Analyses included physical parameters (length, width, weight, and colour), chemical composition (moisture, ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrate content), and antioxidant activity measured by the DPPH method. The results showed significant differences in morphology and nutritional composition among the varieties. Curly chili exhibited the highest protein content (12.35%) and carbohydrate content (65.68%), while ghost pepper had the highest ash content (6.50%) and fat content (10.17%). In contrast, bird’s eye chili generally fell within the intermediate range for most parameters. The antioxidant activity of all varieties showed high inhibition values (>80%), ranging from 81.33% to 86.46%, although the differences were not statistically significant. Thus, all chili powder varieties met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) quality requirements and have the potential to be developed as functional food products with longer shelf life.

Abstract

The Central Laboratory of Universitas Andalas is equipped with Shimadzu 9050 Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (QTOF) LC-MS/MS instrument, which has strong potential to support scientific research at international standards. However, the utilization of this instrument remains limited due to the lack of optimized standard methods for both qualitative and quantitative analyses. This study aims to develop an LC-MS/MS analytical method that can be used as a standard method for research services in the laboratory. The research stages included sample preparation of red flower (BM) and white flower (BP) by extraction of sample using methanol pH 3 as the solvent, separation of sample using a rotary evaporator, method optimization including selection of mobile phase composition (isocratic and binary gradient), selection of analysis time (5, 10, and 15 minutes), and optimization of collision energy in the range of 5–40. Quantitative analysis of flower samples was then conducted using the optimized method. The optimisation results showed that a binary gradient mobile-phase method with an analysis time of 15 minutes and a collision energy of 25 could be used as the analytical method. Furthermore, quantitative analysis of both flower samples revealed that cyanidin in the red flower sample was 24.92 ppm, while cyanidin in the white flower sample was 71.69 ppm.

Abstract

The present study aims to analyse the effect of variations in the amount of Mocaf starch and glycerol concentration on the physical and mechanical characteristics of the bioplastics produced. The method employed in this study was casting. The experimental design employed in this study was a completely randomised two-factor design, namely the amount of starch (4, 5, 6 and 7 g) and glycerol concentration (20, 30, and 40% w/w based on starch). The data were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of 5%; when significant differences were identified, Duncan's test was used to follow up. The findings indicated that the quantity of mocaf starch and glycerol concentration exerted a substantial influence on the physical and mechanical properties of bioplastics. An increase in the amount of starch led to an increase in density, thickness, and, most significantly, tensile strength. Conversely, an increase in glycerol concentration did not affect the density, but increased the thickness and elongation, while decreased the tensile strength. The interaction of these two factors also had a significant effect on thickness, tensile strength, and elongation.

Abstract

The critical review aimed to assess the enhancement of curcumin bioavailability through nanoformulation-based delivery systems, summarize comparative pharmacokinetic and in vivo safety data, and identify significant obstacles to the clinical translation of curcumin. This study identified articles from Scopus, Elsevier (via ScienceDirect), and PubMed that were published between 2015 and 2025. We used keyword combinations such as curcumin, nanoformulation, nanoparticles, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, toxicity/safety, and clinical translation to identify them. Furthermore, a comparison was made between peer-reviewed studies that were eligible based on the type of nanoformulation, the reported fold-increase in bioavailability, tolerability in vivo, and the limitations of translation. Nanoparticles (e.g., PLGA, chitosan), solid lipid nanoparticles, micelles, nanoemulsions, nanogels, cyclodextrin complexes, phytosomes, dendrimers, metallic nanoparticles, niosomes, and exosomes exhibit mechanisms that enhance solubility, provide protection against degradation, improve permeability, and facilitate sustained or targeted delivery. The data demonstrate that various nanoformulations can enhance systemic exposure from moderate to substantial levels, depending on the formulation and study design, with lipid-polymer-based systems often exhibiting significant enhancements. Studies generally report acceptable safety at therapeutic doses; however, dose dependence, formulation-specific effects, limited long-term human data, manufacturing scalability, and evolving regulatory requirements continue to constrain clinical adoption. Enhance curcumin's bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy; however, standardized manufacturing, thorough safety assessment, and robust clinical trials are necessary to facilitate its integration into standard practice.Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 3: Good Health and Well BeingSDG 9: Industry, Innovation and InfrastructureSDG 12: Responsible Consumption and ProductionSDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
