<![CDATA[Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora L.) is the type of coffee most widely developed by farmers in Indonesia. The BP308 is a clone discovered by the coffee and cocoa research center which is included in the Robusta coffee clone which has a large and sturdy stature. One of the coffee plant maintenance activities that needs to be carried out is pruning so that coffee plant productivity can be optimal by removing old branches that are less productive and replacing them with young branches that are more productive. Pruning is a clipping, especially for plants that have difficulty growing reproductive branches. Clipping is carried out at the beginning of the rainy season so as not to stimulate the formation of flowers on the circumcised branches. The method used T-test calculations from the results of rejuvenation of single stems with treatment of one node and two nodes resulting from clipping on shoot growth and the data is then analyzed using a quantitative descriptive analysis method. The results show that there is no influence on shoot length parameters. However, it has a significant increase in the number of leaves from 1,47 to 2,33, and it has a significant increase in shoot diameter from 1,63 mm to 2,38 mm. This is the first study comparing single vs. double node clipping on BP308 clone under specific microclimate conditions.]]>

<![CDATA[Tomato farmers in Indonesia face challenges such as unpredictable weather conditions that can affect crop yields. Climatic stress, such as drought and heat, can have significant effects on plant growth. Plant Biostimulant have been shown to alleviate climatic stress in plants by modifying physiological processes and enhancing stress tolerance, ultimately improving crop growth and productivity. Recently, weed extract can serve as a biostimulant to improve growth and productivity of crops. This research aimed to determine the best concentration of weed extract-based biostimulant (WEBB) to increase tomato growth and production in dry season. The research was conducted on June to September 2024 in Tutul Village, Balung District, Jember Regency. The research used Randomized Block Design consisted of five levels of WEBB concentrations, i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 ppm. The concentration of WEBB at 1 ppm significantly increased early growth of stem and the number of leaves at 2 WAP by 16.39% and 39.02% respectively. The application of WEBB at 1–2 ppm also showed a significant increase in the number of fruits by 24.49% compared to control. This indicated that 1 ppm WEBB were effective in stimulating the early growth and fruit formation on tomato plant.]]>

<![CDATA[Catfish (Clarias sp.) is a type of freshwater fish that people often consume because of its high nutritional value, deliciousness, and affordability. However, catfish products are often damaged due to high water content. Production of catfish flour is an alternative to make catfish products more durable and easier to diversify. The objective of this study is to determine the proximate and nutritional content of catfish flour produced using different drying times (duration) and temperatures. This study used an experimental laboratory method with two treatment factors, namely drying temperature consisting of 2 levels (60°C and 150°C) and drying time (duration) consisting of 2 levels (36 hours and 3 hours). The result showed the proximate and nutrition content of catfish flour with a drying temperature of 60°C and duration of 36 hours was fat 17.3402%, protein 83.9166%, water 9.8682%, ash 4.7125%, Fe 0.0157%, Ca 0.0602%, Zn 0.0029%. While the proximate and nutrition content of catfish flour with a drying temperature of 150°C and duration of 3 hours was fat 22.0204%, protein 85.9741%, water 6.1044%, ash 4.2682%, Fe 0.0022%, Ca 0.1073%, Zn 0.0032%. This finding reveals that drying temperature and time affected catfish flour's proximate and nutrition content.]]>

<![CDATA[The drying stage critically determines the quality of Modified Cassava Flour (MOCAF), directly affecting its functional properties. Insufficient moisture removal leads to detrimental effects including structural degradation and microbial proliferation, while over-drying promotes oxidation. Existing drying methods lack precision and reproducibility, underscoring the need for a MOCAF-specific dryer system. The central challenge is to develop a drying method that is both rapid and efficient while simultaneously preserving product quality. This study aimed to design an optimized drying model for micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), leveraging a TRIZ-driven innovation process to enhance MOCAF quality and process efficiency. Applying TRIZ facilitated the systematic identification and resolution of conflicting design parameters (e.g., rapid drying vs. product integrity). A hybrid technology model was then developed—combining infrared heating, forced-air circulation, and LPG combustion. Performance was evaluated in a pilot unit capable of drying 50 kg of wet MOCAF per six-hour batch, under controlled conditions: 76 °C drying temperature, 2.1 m³/min airflow, and 413 g/h LPG consumption. The optimized dryer achieved a water removal rate of 315 g H₂O/hour. Comparative benchmarking against conventional sun and cabinet dryers showed the hybrid system significantly reduced drying time while maintaining superior structural and functional properties. The TRIZ-based, hybrid MOCAF dryer offers a scalable, cost-effective solution tailored to MSMEs. By closing the innovation loop—linking TRIZ principles directly to enhanced performance metrics—this study delivers practical, field-ready technology. Key contributions include the first documented integration of infrared, forced-air, and LPG heating in MOCAF drying, optimized process parameters, and clear industrial applicability.]]>

<![CDATA[PT Sehat Sejahtera Bersama is a business that produces soy beverages. There are currently no established guidelines for equipment arrangement at the PT Sehat Sejahtera Bersama facility. The flow of industrial processes is not considered by the machines used in it. As a result, there is less space for employees to move around, and time is wasted doing repetitive tasks, making the industrial process less effective and lowering output. The blocplan technique is the approach taken to overcome this problem. The facility layout problem at PT Sehat Sejahtera Bersama can be solved using this approach by considering the final layout, material transportation distance, degree of relationship closeness, and area requirements. The area at PT Sehat Sejahtera Bersama is 244.33 m², and the total space required is 647,1 m². In the suggested layout, which is the 17th layout out of 20 possible layouts, the choice of the blocplan method is based on the R-Score value, which is almost the same or close to 1.]]>

<![CDATA[The cigar industry in Jember Regency is recognized as one of Indonesia’s major tobacco production centers, contributing significantly to the regional economy. However, its production process generates substantial waste, including rejected leaves, stems, tobacco dust, and packaging waste, which may pose environmental challenges. This study aims to apply Statistical Process Control (SPC) to monitor and control cigar waste as part of efforts to promote circular economy practices and sustainable industry. A descriptive quantitative method was employed, with data collected through direct observation, structured interviews, and statistical analysis using X-bar, R, and I-MR control charts. Results indicate that most production processes remain within control limits, although special variations were detected in wrapper leaf quality and tobacco moisture content. Process capability analysis revealed that leaf scraps (Cpk = 1.69) met the required standards, whereas defective cigars (Cpk = 0.28) required corrective actions through workforce training and SOP standardization. The cause-and-effect (Ishikawa) diagram identified key contributing factors including manpower, machines, materials, methods, and environment. Findings highlight that implementing SPC not only reduces production costs and improves efficiency but also creates opportunities for utilizing waste into derivative products such as hand-rolled kretek cigarettes (SKT), thereby supporting green industry practices. Thus, SPC can serve as a practical and strategic model for sustainable quality control in Jember’s cigar industry.]]>

<![CDATA[Milk is a nutrient-rich product produced by dairy cattle and plays an important role in preventing stunting in children under five years of age. In the production of milk-based products for toddlers, the quality of raw materials is a critical factor, particularly in terms of standardization and consumer acceptance. East Java Province is one of the largest milk-producing regions in Indonesia, with potential fresh milk sources originating from Jember, Probolinggo, and Banyuwangi Regencies. This study aimed to determine the best fresh milk raw material from these local sources by integrating chemical quality evaluation and hedonic analysis. A quantitative descriptive method was applied using Lactoscan analysis to assess the chemical composition of fresh milk samples. The results showed that all samples met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) requirements for fresh milk, indicating comparable chemical quality across regions. Although minor variations in nutritional components were observed, these differences were not decisive in determining overall quality. Based on hedonic analysis, fresh milk from Banyuwangi Regency was identified as the most preferred sample. This finding highlights the novelty of the study, demonstrating that when chemical quality among milk samples is relatively similar, sensory preference becomes the determining factor in selecting the best raw material for toddler-oriented milk products.]]>

<![CDATA[Gluten, the primary protein in wheat and its derivatives, and lactose, the natural sugar in milk and dairy products, may trigger adverse health effects such as bloating, diarrhea, and metabolic disturbances in sensitive individuals. Gluten-free dietary interventions have also been reported as supportive therapy for certain health conditions, including autism. This study aimed to analyze consumer profiles, identify key preferences, and assess the potential local market demand for gluten- and lactose-free (GFLF) cookies. A descriptive observational study applying descriptive market analysis rather than predictive modeling was conducted among the general population in Jember, Indonesia. Using accidental sampling, data were collected from 120 respondents between July and August 2025 through an online questionnaire (Google Forms). The instrument assessed demographic characteristics, consumer awareness, product preferences, and purchase intentions. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distribution tables. The majority of respondents were young adults with income levels below the regional minimum wage. Approximately 78.4% expressed interest in GFLF cookies, and 65% indicated willingness to purchase them despite higher prices compared with conventional cookies. The main motivations for purchase were perceived health benefits (50%) and curiosity or willingness to try new products (30%). The acceptable price range was IDR 15,000–25,000 per 100 g. Estimated market demand ranged from 400 to 1,200 packages per month. These findings indicate a promising market opportunity for GFLF cookies in Jember, supported by increasing consumer awareness and interest in healthier food alternatives. Product development strategies should prioritize affordability, sensory quality, and consumer education to facilitate product downstreaming, commercialization, and sustainable market adoption of functional food products.]]>
