Abstract

Cookies are a type of biscuit made from soft dough and have a crispy texture when broken. Non-gluten cookies made from mocaf flour and edamame flour have the potential to be an alternative snack for celiac sufferers, while the addition of margarine plays a role in improving the quality and texture of the product.  The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the proportion of mocaf flour and edamame flour as well as the addition of margarine on the physical, chemical, and organoleptic characteristics of non-gluten cookies, and to determine the best treatment. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) factorial pattern with 2 factors and 2 replications. The first factor is the proportion of mocaf flour and edamame which (50%:50%, 60%:40%, 70%:30%). The second factor is the addition of margarine (45%, 55%, 65%). The data was analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and continued with the Duncan test at the 5% level. The results showed that there was a real interaction between the treatment of the proportions of mocaf flour and edamame flour and the addition of margarine to the chemical and physical characteristics of non-gluten cookies. The best treatment was obtained in the proportion of mocaf flour and edamame flour (60%:40%) with the addition of margarine 55% recommended with the criteria of moisture content 4.6%, ash content 1.58%, protein content 10.57%, fat content 27.69%, carbohydrate content 55.56%, fracture strength 845 gf and organoleptic test color 4.2; aroma 3.8; taste 4.16 and texture 4.00 Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 2: Zero Hunger SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

Abstract

This study analyzed the drying characteristics of Wasabi leaves in rack dryers with gas heating at various temperatures to obtain the most suitable thin-layer drying model while evaluating the color change and mass transfer parameters. Drying was carried out for 7.5 hours at temperatures of 60, 80, 100, and 120°C with the main variables of moisture content, moisture ratio, energy consumption, effective diffusivity, and CIE Lab* and ?E color parameters. The drying curve data were analyzed using three thin layer models (Newton, Henderson and Pabis, and Page) and evaluated with coefficients of determination (R²), chi-square (X²), and root mean square error (RMSE). The results showed that the increase in drying temperature increased specific energy consumption (9.07 × 10³ – 1.91 × 10? kJ kg?¹ water) and effective diffusivity (2.49 × 10?? – 4.11 × 10?? m² s?¹), and accelerated the reduction of moisture content to 2.27–10% at 80–120°C.   The moisture ratio is in the range of 0.02–0.98 and indicates a phase of high initial drying rate, followed by a period of decreasing rate until the weight is nearly constant around 240 minutes. The discoloration during drying was characterized by a decrease in L (13.91–42.69), an increase in a (?6.4 to 0.31), a decrease in b (11.93–24.78), and an increase in ?E (2.12–16.44), indicating a degradation of green pigment and a tendency to brown at high temperatures. Based on the R², X², and RMSE criteria, the Newton model at 60°C provides the best fit between the predictions and the experimental data, so it was chosen as the most representative model for describing the drying kinetics of Wasabi leaves in a gas rack dryer. These findings provide a quantitative database of energy, diffusivity, and colour change that can be used to optimise wasabi leaf drying operations for use as a raw material for natural dyes, thereby improving energy efficiency.

Abstract

Background: Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are key metabolites produced by microbial fibre fermentation and act as an epigenetic link between diet and gene expression. SCFA production is highly dependent on dietary fiber diversity to support a healthy microbial ecosystem. Through the gut-brain axis, SCFAs influence cognitive function by altering the brain's response to food signals and reducing systemic inflammation. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of short-chain fatty acids on the gastrointestinal mucosa and their relationships with diet, fibre, and the gut-brain axis. Methods: This study used a systematic review guided by PRISMA 2020 (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The literature was searched across three databases: PubMed, EBSCO, and Scopus. The study selection process followed predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the results of included studies were systematically analyzed. Results: A total of 20 studies were analyzed. Most studies show that SCFAs can protect the gastrointestinal mucosa through a healthy microbiota balance and a proper diet, including a high-fiber diet.  Conclusion: A high-fibre diet can produce SCFAs that regulate metabolic/inflammatory genes, improve intestinal mucosal function, enhance glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion, improve glycemic/appetite control, and reduce the brain's response to high-calorie foods. It also lowers high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP))))), improving stress, anxiety, and mental health.

Abstract

Cellulose is a versatile biopolymer for high-value applications. This study investigates the use of eco-friendly Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) to efficiently isolate cellulose from sago bark (Metroxylon spp.) under varying microwave irradiation times using a DES system. The isolation process using a DES solvent mixture of choline chloride and urea in a 1:2 molar ratio was irradiated with microwaves for 1, 2, and 3 minutes. The results showed that microwave irradiation time significantly affected the yield, purity, and ash content of the cellulose. The highest cellulose yield of 15.87% was obtained at 2 minutes, but decreased to 14.87% at 3 minutes due to cellulose component degradation over a longer period. Conversely, the highest cellulose purity achieved was 94.87% after 3 minutes of irradiation. The ash content of the obtained lignin ranged from 6.30% to 6.67%. FT-IR functional group analysis confirmed the successful cellulose purification, evidenced by the loss of most non-cellulose components (lignin and hemicellulose) and the appearance of characteristic cellulose peaks at wavelengths of 3302 cm?¹ (O-H elongation) and 1032 cm?¹ (C-O elongation). Overall, the combination of DES and microwaves proved effective in producing high-purity cellulose from sago bark waste.

Abstract

Employee performance is a pivotal factor in organizational success, as it directly influences the achievement of strategic goals. This study aims to analyze the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between transformational leadership and work discipline on employee performance at the Raja Ampat Regency Education Office. Utilizing a saturated sampling technique, the study involved a population of 47 employees. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics via Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings indicate that both transformational leadership and work discipline exert a positive, significant direct effect on employee performance. While work discipline significantly influences job satisfaction, transformational leadership was found to have a positive but insignificant impact on it. Furthermore, job satisfaction significantly enhances employee performance. Mediation analysis reveals that job satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and employee performance. In contrast, job satisfaction partially mediates the influence of work discipline on employee performance. These results suggest that while leadership and discipline are critical, the impact of discipline on performance is further strengthened when employees experience higher job satisfaction.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize Sodium Lignosulfonate (NLS) from teak wood lignin through an indirect sulfonation method. The effect of pH and sulfonation time on the characteristics of the synthesized product was investigated. The sulfonation process was carried out using a sulfonating agent under controlled conditions with variations in pH and reaction time. The obtained product was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to identify functional groups and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy to evaluate absorbance behavior. The FTIR results indicated the presence of sulfonate groups (-SO?), confirming the successful formation of sodium lignosulfonate. Meanwhile, UV-Vis analysis showed variations in absorbance corresponding to changes in pH and sulfonation time, indicating differences in the degree of sulfonation. The results were compared with previous studies and showed consistent characteristics of sodium lignosulfonate. This study demonstrates that pH and sulfonation time significantly influence the properties of the synthesized product.

Abstract

The growth of industrial estates in the Mojokerto region contributes positively to the economy but has negative impacts on the road network, degrading its performance. Factory operational activities, particularly during shift changes, result in sudden traffic loading (shock loading) and significant mixed traffic on access roads. This study aims to evaluate the traffic impact of factory development on the performance of surrounding roads. Data collection was conducted through primary surveys (traffic volume, side friction, and road geometry) and secondary data. Road performance analysis follows the 2023 Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual (PKJI) to determine Capacity (C) and Degree of Saturation (DS), followed by an ANOVA statistical test and spatial mapping in QGIS. The ANOVA results (p-value < 0.05) confirmed a significant difference among the five factory locations in terms of volume, side friction, and degree of saturation. Spatial mapping of the Level of Service (LoS) revealed significant polarization in existing conditions. The most critical conditions are concentrated in the northern area (PT Mertex Indonesia, PT Mago Pasifik Abadi, and PT Ajinomoto Indonesia), with DS values exceeding 1.0. The southern area (PT Sunrise Steel) is in a transitional phase approaching saturation (DS 0.76), characterized by very high side friction due to frequent employee crossings, logistics vehicle activity, and on-street parking.Conversely, the city roads around PT Intidragon Suryatama are the only areas with stable and smooth traffic performance, with a DS value below 0.50. The resulting thematic map provides a comprehensive visual representation of the current congestion point distribution as a foundation for mitigating industrial traffic impacts Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and InfrastructureSDG 11: Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesSDG 13: Climate Action
