Abstract

Kisar sweet orange is an endemic fruit and primary commodity from Kisar Island, Southwest Maluku Regency - Maluku Province. Currently, Kisar sweet orangeswere only consumed as fresh fruit during this time, partially processed into juice and the peels were discarded as wastes. Kisar sweet orange peels can be processed into essential oil to increase their economic value. The essential oil made from orange peels is highly preferable, especially for the middle to upper-class consumers, for health and air-freshening purposes. This essential oil has a higher selling value. This research aims at isolating and identifying the chemical components and quality of essential oil made from Kisar sweet orange peels. This essential oil was isolated using a steam distillation method, and its chemical components were identified using GC-MS instruments.. The research results showed that the essential oil made from Kisar sweet orange peels dried with a cabinet dryer for two days utilizing the steam distillation method provides a yield of 0.53%, with its properties of specific gravity of 0.8457, refractive index of 1.4651 (20°C), acid number of 1.92, ester number of 8.05, and solubility in alcohol of 1:9. The main chemical component of the essential oil made from Kisar sweet orange peels detected by GC-MS is limonene (70.80%).

Abstract

One type of beans that can be used as a source of protein is the black bean (Phaseolus vulgaris. L); because it has a sufficiently high protein content of 16.6%, it has the potential to be developed into protein concentrate. This study aimed to characterize the physicochemical characteristics of black bean protein concentrate based on heating time. An experiment was carried out and arranged in a Completely Randomized Design, with four levels of treatments, i.e. heating time of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes. The observed variables were yield, bulk density, water absorption, protein content, moisture content, and ash content. The results showed that the yield value was 7.66 - 12.11%, bulk density 0.78 - 0.81 g/mL, water absorption 1.84 - 1.97%, protein content 71.39 - 76.00%, moisture content 11.85 - 12.94% and ash content 3.30 - 3.57%.

Abstract

The avifauna of tropical peat swamp forests in East Kalimantan has not been well documented because of the smallest peat area compared to central Kalimantan. The surveys were conducted using various methods in the Muara Siran peat swamp forests and surrounding areas of Lake Siran (heath forest and riparian) in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. These findings were recorded on a list of 80 bird species as well as in numerous noteworthy records. Wetlands are an essential habitat for many threatened and near-threatened bird species. We also discovered Gallinula tenebrosa in Siran Lake, a species that has not been seen in over a century. However, it has a wide distribution globally, including in Australia and the United States. In the peat swamp forest, we recorded Cymbirrhinchus macrurus and Ichtyophaga humilis, rare and widely distributed. We also found Dicrurus hottentotus and Dicrurus remifer, some species of Ferruginous Babbler, Trichastoma bicolor, and the White-necked Babbler, Stachyris leucotis. The Hook-billed bulbul Setornis criniger and the Sooty capped Babbler Malacopteron affinae are found in riparian forests. There are six species of woodpecker. Dryocopus javensis, Great Slaty Woodpecker, Mulleripicus pulverulentus, Meyglyptes tukki, Picus puniceus, and Sasia abnormis. Cuckoo-shrike Coracina striata and Pitta sordia were also discovered. Wetlands (peat swamp forest, heath forest, and riparian areas) should be better protected due to their importance to many species, particularly from destruction and loss of habitat caused by forest fires.

Abstract

On the island of Nusalaut, an orange crested white cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis) was found. The interviews with several community leaders from the island of Nusalaut, including Raja Negeri Sila, reveal that there have been no Cacatua moluccensis birds in recent years worldwide Nusalaut. it is predicted that the Cacatua moluccensis bird has moved to Saparua island as the closest island. This bird is no longer found because of changes in the forest's structure and composition into agricultural land for cloves (Eugenia aromatica) because it does not need shade trees. The mangrove community along the coast of the island of Saparua for the last few years has experienced various pressures of development dynamics that have disrupted their lives. Therefore, at the same time, they impact the activities of wildlife that use them as habitat. This research was conducted by applying direct and indirect survey methods to determine the types and distribution of the mangrove community's wildlife inhabitants, both permanently and temporally. Seven species of mammals use the mangrove communities in Saparua Bay, Haria Bay and Tuhaha Bay, nine reptile species, and 18 species of birds.

Abstract

This study focused on farmers’ crop management practices in selected rural riverine islands (Char lands) of Sariakandi Upazila, Bogura district, Bangladesh. Disproportionate stratified sampling was adopted to select the respondents. The data were elicited using an interview schedule and analyzed via Statistics 10 software. Results revealed that, on average, there was moderate knowledge on crop management practices, and the attitude towards the practices was favorable. But, in deviance from what is habitually obtained on mainland Bangladesh where rice cultivation dominates, jute (35.84%) and chili (28.4%) covered the majority in Char Ghagua and Char Shaluka, respectively. In Char Tengrakura, rice and chili covered a little above half (52.7%) of the crops cultivated by the respondents. In terms of the management practices, the lion’s share (81.7%, 74.7%, and 77.0%) of soil management practices was covered by chemical fertilizers in all the Char lands. Similarly, the use of chemicals dominated when handling pests and diseases. Triple cropping was foremost across the Char lands and had high mean coverage in Char Tengrakura (63.6%). The mean coverage of irrigation water management practices was virtually shallow tube well in the Char lands. Generally, there was moderate knowledge and a positive attitude towards crop management practices. That crop management practices (use synthetic materials and underground water) employed in the Char lands are unsustainable, tending to induce degradation of land and water resources.

Abstract

The use of very dangerous chemicals for food reservations is still happening in Indonesia. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to have public awareness of the importance of food safety and health, causing the use of synthetic preservatives to be avoided and switching to natural preservatives, one of which is ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc. Var Rubrum). Ginger contains gingerols which have activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic, and antitumor. The content of secondary metabolites contained in ginger rhizome plants is an antimicrobial group of phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, and essential oils contained in the ginger extract and is a group of bioactive compounds that can inhibit microbial growth. The purpose of the study was to determine the antibacterial effectiveness of ginger juice (Zingiber officinale Rosc. Var Rubrum) against food pathogenic bacteria. The results obtained were that at a concentration of 25% it could not inhibit Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, while at concentrations of 50%, 75%, and 100% it could inhibit Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria with inhibition zone criteria from moderate to very strong. The greater the concentration of ginger juice given, the greater the inhibition zone obtained.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the resulting discoloration through a combination of immersion times and different drying methods. The design used in this study was a completely randomized design arranged in a factorial experiment with four replications. The first factor was immersion time, i.e., no immersion; immersed for 24 hours; immersed for 48 hours; while the second factor was drying methods, including without drying; drying in direct sunlight; drying by smoking, and drying by roasting in the sand. The research data were processed using the SPSS program using one-way ANOVA analysis by design. The Tukey test on treatments that were significantly different at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that: 1). Canarium nut without drying (fresh) produces a color (L) with a higher brightness level compared to the color of canarium nut from drying, smoking, and roasting; 2). Immersion for up to 48 hours did not result in significant changes to the color component; and 3) the change in color components was relatively small among the three different drying methods, namely drying in direct sunlight, smoking, and roasting.

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to analyse the physical properties and quality assessment of Gypsum Kalsiboard in the Ambon city market so that the physical properties of the boards and their quality are analysed and controlled. The material used was composite board in the form of gypsum-kalsiboard panels with length of 244.0 cm, width of 122.0 cm and thickness of 3.5 mm. This experimental model used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and assessment the quality by control chart evaluated using 3-sigma control limits through the Upper Control Limit (UCL) and lower control limit (LCL). The result showed that the average of overall density was about of 1.41 g/cm3, moisture content of 9.12%, water absorption of 25.21% and thickness swelling about of 1.91% which meets the standard limits required by SNI No. 03-6434-2000. Although by quality assessment there were several points that are above the upper control limit (UCL) and below the lower control limit (LCL), the physical properties values of this board were still within the tolerance limits because the condition of the board does not show significant changes such as those related to water absorption and thickness swelling, indicating that the board was quite stable and high dimensional stability after 24 hours of immersion.

Abstract

In this land use, humans act as ecosystem regulators, namely by getting rid of components that he considers useless or by developing features that are expected to support their land use (Mather, 1986; Gandasasmita, 2018), which is a residue and others that can increase soil fertility levels such as soil organic matter, biomass, and necromass. This study aims to measure the biomass content of lower plants and litter biomass on agroforestry land with a slash and burn system. Before and after the combustion process, the ten soil samples showed more C-organic content before the combustion treatment, with a total C-organic of 8.16% - 7.8% = 0.36% C-organic released. The organic matter available before burning is more when compared to after burning, which is 14.05% - 13.43% = 0.62% of the organic matter released. Biomass litter contained wet weight 2500g – 3910g dry weight = -1410 grams of carbon emitted.
