Abstract

This research explores the role of food processing technology innovation in addressing critical challenges related to food quality, safety, and availability in West Java Province, Indonesia. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, interviews, laboratory analysis, and case studies to comprehensively examine the current state of food processing practices, evaluate innovative technologies, assess their impact, and provide recommendations for improvement. The findings reveal the persistence of traditional processing practices, infrastructure challenges, and a digital divide between urban and rural areas. However, promising innovations in advanced machinery, preservation techniques, biotechnology, food safety technologies, and sustainability initiatives are emerging. These innovations enhance food quality, safety, and availability. Recommendations include promoting technology access, infrastructure development, knowledge transfer, and policy support. By addressing these challenges and embracing technology-driven solutions, West Java Province can transition toward a more efficient, safe, and sustainable food processing sector, benefiting both the industry and consumers.

Abstract

Ecosystem degradation and land abandonment are pressing global environmental challenges, with significant ecological, social, and economic consequences. In the context of West Java Province, Indonesia, the degradation of abandoned agricultural and mining lands has been a particularly pronounced issue. This study explored innovative strategies for the restoration of these degraded ecosystems, focusing on the recovery of abandoned agricultural and mining lands in West Java. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Key findings revealed a range of innovative strategies, including natural regeneration, agroforestry, phytoremediation, and soil improvement techniques, being used to restore abandoned lands. Challenges such as slow ecological recovery, community conflicts, and technical hurdles were also identified. Despite these challenges, the restoration efforts have yielded positive ecological, social, and economic outcomes, including increased biodiversity, improved soil quality, enhanced community livelihoods, and economic benefits. This study provides valuable insights into the complex process of ecosystem restoration in West Java Province and offers recommendations for policymakers, landowners, and conservation practitioners. The findings underscore the importance of community engagement, sustainable land management practices, and ongoing monitoring and research to support the long-term success of ecosystem restoration initiatives.

Abstract

Air pollution is a pressing global issue, particularly in urban areas where rapid industrialization and urbanization have led to deteriorating air quality. Jakarta, as one of the world's most populous megacities, faces significant challenges in managing air pollution and safeguarding public health. This research paper explores the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology for air pollution monitoring in Jakarta and quantitatively assesses the influence of air quality changes on public health outcomes. The study involves the deployment of IoT sensors to collect real-time data on key air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3). Statistical analyses, including regression and correlation analyses, reveal strong associations between air quality variables and health indicators. Findings indicate that elevated levels of PM2.5 and NO2 are linked to increased hospital admissions for respiratory diseases, and CO levels are associated with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The study also explores public perception through surveys and questionnaires, highlighting a high level of awareness and support for government initiatives to improve air quality. The results emphasize the need for informed policy decisions, including stricter emission standards and public awareness campaigns, to combat air pollution and protect public health in Jakarta.

Abstract

Banana weevil is a waste that has not been used much, however banana weevil has content lots of nutrition. So that need effort for utilise the banana weevil so that it can beneficial for society. This study used lactic acid bacteria fermentation method which aims to analyze the characteristics of modified banana weevil flour. Then thinly sliced banana weevil soaked for 2 hours inside sodium metabisulfite solution then soaked again use finished solution mixed with bacteria sour lactate with concentration 0;0,02;0,025;0,03 ml/L. After that hump dried and ground for become flour and tested characteristics. The results showed that the swelling power test level was highest at a concentration of 0.03 ml/L, which was 13.39 grams, the % solubility test was highest at a concentration of 0.03 ml/L with a value of 0.12%, the results of the viscosity test after being modified had the same value, namely of 1.4 mPa.s, for the results of reducing sugar content after being modified it decreased and a result of 4% was obtained.
