Abstract

Background: The accumulation of agricultural waste and high dependency towards wheat imports remains a structural challenges to food security and environmental sustainability. Banana corm, an underutilized by-product rich in starch and resistant starch content, offers a strategic potential as a functional substitute for wheat in instant noodle production. The goal of this research is to bridge these gaps by formulating Miglo and simultaneously evaluating its potential to harmonize physicochemical quality with real-world economic viability. Methods: This mixed-method research applying a Completely Randomized Design with three substituion levels (30-50%) where physicochemical properties were analyzed descriptively while organoleptic data underwent One-Way ANOVA and Duncan’s test. Socio-economic impacts were assessed through field observations to validate the circular economy’s feasibility. Findings: The result showed that 50% substitution (T3) yielded the highest consumer acceptance, despite its decrease in carbohydrate due to resistant starch formation. Aroma and texture remained statistically unaffected, proving that high levels of substitution do not compromise overall sensory quality. Miglo implementation demonstrates economic feasibility, offering a strategic solution  for agricultural waste valorization and reduced wheat dependency within a functional circular economy framework. Conclusion: Instant noodles made from banana corms (Musa paradisiaca) are an innovative circular economy strategy that is acceptable to consumers when made from a 50% wheat flour and 50% banana corm flour mixture. This strategy has a positive impact on reducing agricultural waste, strengthening food security, and improving the economic welfare of the community. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research provides an integrative approach bridging technical aspects and practical impacts of the circular economy model, serving as a strategic solution to ensure food sovereignty and community economic empowerment.

Abstract

Background: The rise in diabetes cases, coupled with the increasing prevalence of gluten intolerance, has prompted the development of gluten-free nutraceutical products with the potential to stabilize blood glucose levels. The combination of Clinacanthus nutans, soybean flour, and MOCAF supports glycemic control through the synergistic action of bioactive compounds and soluble fiber that stabilize blood glucose levels. Methods: The research design used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two formulation variations. The study was conducted in two stages, a preliminary phase for formulation optimization and a main experimental phase involving 30 trained panelists recruited through purposive sampling. Dandang Gendis leaves were processed via microwave-drying at 40°C to preserve bioactive compounds, while finalized cookies were subjected to standardized proximate analysis at Universitas Brawijaya and sensory evaluation using a four-point hedonic scale. Findings: The results showed that variations in the proportion of dandang gendis leaf extract and soybean flour significantly affected the ash, fat, carbohydrate, calorie content, and sensory attributes (taste, aroma, color, and texture). The flour concentration also affected most of the physicochemical and organoleptic parameters. The best formulation was obtained in formulation 2 with a combination of 15% dandang gendis leaf extract and 25% soybean flour. The physicochemical characteristics of the cookies included water content of 10.81%, protein 6.7%, fat 0.35%, carbohydrate 78.5%, ash 1.5%, energy 256.5 kcal, glycemic index 37, and active compound content of 0.4% (flavonoid 0.2%, isoflavone 0.1%, and saponin 0.1%). Conclusion: The best formulation for Gemoi Bite functional cookies is a combination of 80 g of dandang gendis leaves and 40 g of soy flour, which boasts excellent sensory qualities and blood sugar control benefits. Novelty/Originality of this article: The uniqueness of this research lies in the synergistic formulation of Clinacanthus nutans extract, soybean flour, and MOCAF to create a special nutraceutical cake for diabetes management.

Abstract

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative tool in global agriculture, although its integration entails ethical implications that may exacerbate inequalities. This research provides a critical analysis of the ethical use of AI in agronomy, examining global, national (Cuba) and local (Trinidad) contexts. Methods: The study employed mixed methodology with systematic review, surveys (n=120), focus groups (n=25) and key informant interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Findings were integrated through a SWOT analysis and validated using methodological triangulation. Findings: Results reveal a significant digital divide (only 10% of farmers in Trinidad report acceptable connectivity) and high interest (70%) in contextualized solutions. This research identify that 78% of technicians express concern about algorithmic biases in solutions not adapted to the Cuban context. Based on SWOT analysis, we propose a four-dimensional action plan with axes on infrastructure, training, contextualized development and governance. Conclusion: The study concludes that ethical AI implementation in Cuban agriculture requires a sovereign approach prioritizing frugal solutions, community governance and alignment with the socialist production model. Novelty/Originality of this article: The uniqueness of this research lies in its critical ethical assessment of the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within a non-Western agricultural framework, specifically by comparing the global discourse on AI with local realities in Cuba and Trinidad.
