Abstract

The development of biodegradable foam, or Biofoam, utilizing water hyacinth cellulose and arrowroot starch, presents a promising alternative to the environmentally detrimental use of polystyrene foam. Water hyacinth, which proliferates extensively in the Semarang region and is often regarded as a parasitic species, boasts a significant cellulose and fiber content, quantified at 72.63%. This high cellulose content renders it a viable resource for the production of sustainable packaging materials, thereby addressing both environmental pollution and associated health risks posed by traditional polystyrene foam. This study aims to characterize the properties of the produced foam through a series of antimicrobial tests, tensile strength tests, and biodegradability assessments. The raw materials utilized include cellulose derived from water hyacinth stems, arrowroot starch, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), chitosan, and polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400). The result showed that Biofoam exhibits no bacterial growth, as determined by antimicrobial testing. The tensile strength test results were consistent with Synbra Technology standards, with tensile strength values ranging from 1.58 MPa to 2.63 MPa. Furthermore, Biofoam has successfully passed the biodegradability test, as evidenced by its degradation in soil using the soil burial test method, which is characterized by the physical transformation of Biofoam into a softer and more porous material. To improve the performance of the biofoam, further research is needed regarding its shape.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with rich biodiversity, including javanese turmeric (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.), which can be used as a food additive, such as in snack bars. The research aims to determine the optimal addition of javanese turmeric powder and baking duration for snack bars with the best antioxidant properties. The study employs a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors: variations in javanese turmeric powder addition (1.5, 3, and 4.5 g) and baking duration (20, 25, and 30 minutes). The best treatment identified from the research is the addition of 3 g of javanese turmeric powder and a baking duration of 20 minutes, showing significant differences in texture, color, and overall preference. The color preference scores at 3.40, aroma at 3.20, taste at 3.16, texture at 3.48, and overall rating at 3.32. Chemical analysis of the selected snack bars resulted in a water content of 5.66%, protein content of 8.16%, and antioxidant activities measured by DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Pickrylhydrazyl) and FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) at 60.92% and 10.48 mg E ferro/g, respectively. Additionally, the phenolic content was found to be 50.49 mg GAE/g. These findings indicate that snack bars with added javanese turmeric exhibit health-promoting antioxidant properties.

Abstract

Honey is a popular healthy food that also serves as medicine. Stingless bee honey gained interest compared to regular honey due to its health benefits. This study aimed to investigate the potential health benefits of honey produced by stingless bees Heterotrigona itama and Tetragonula laeviceps, namely phenolic content, flavonoid content, antioxidant capacity, and antimicrobial activity. The research was conducted using complete randomized experimental design by two separate replications. The result shows both honeys have a pH value ranging from 3.16 to 3.43. The antioxidant capacity, total phenolic compounds, and total flavonoid compounds of both honeys were not different (p≥ 0.05). The antioxidant capacity of honey produced by Heterotrigona itama and Tetragonula laeviceps was 593 mg TE/100 and 581.58 mg TE/100 g, respectively. The total phenolic compound was in the range of 839.26-1242 mg GAE/kg, while total flavonoid was in the range 126 – 179 mg QE/ of) However, H.itama honey had the highest inhibition against Gram-positive Streptococcus mutans, while T.laeviceps had the highest inhibition against Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The types of local vegetation might relate to phytochemical compounds in honey. This study gave insight into another possible antibacterial compound in stingless bee honey, namely, a bioactive peptide that might act differently on microorganisms.

Abstract

Guava (Psidium guajava L) crystal contains good nutrition with white flesh, crispy flesh texture, and fresh taste. Crystal guava fruit is usually consumed as fresh fruit, so it needs proper postharvest handling to maintain the physical and chemical quality of the fruit. The freshness of crystal guava fruit can be related to the water content in the fruit due to the transpiration process. The transpiration process also impacts changes in fruit weight and organoleptic. This study aims to determine the effect of different  harvest ages on  weight loss, water content, and organoleptic value of crystal guava during storage. The method used was a single-factor Randomized Block Design. Consisting of 4 levels of treatment, namely harvest age 90, 100, 110, and 120 Days After Anthesis (DAA) with analysis of variance ANOVA and DMRT follow-up test (α=5%), and the organoleptic test was tested with Friedman test. The results showed that the age of harvest had a significant effect on weight loss and had no significant effect on water content during 9 days of storage. The highest value of weight loss on the 9th day of storage was obtained at harvest age of 100 DAA, which was 29.19%, followed by 90 DAA (20.13%), 120 DAA (20.01%), and 110 DAA (19.00%). Then, the highest water content value was obtained at the harvest age of 90 DAA (86.46%), and the lowest at the harvest age of 120 DAA (82.39%). In organoleptic results, texture scores could be maintained 6 to 8 days at harvest age of 90 DAA, almost average aroma obtained a score of 6 at all harvest ages, while taste could be maintained at a score of 6 to 8 days at harvest age of 110 DAA.

Abstract

Preserving food can be achieved through several methods, one of which is drying. Dried foods are easier to store and distribute. Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity play a crucial role in food preservation and must be controlled to increase its shelf life. A desiccant can be used to regulate humidity levels. Activated carbon is a material that can be used as a desiccant, which can be produced from biomass such as corn cobs. This study focuses on optimizing the conditions for using corncob charcoal as a desiccant by using a Taguchi orthogonal array. The optimization process involves determining the optimal KOH concentration, immersion time, and the ratio of charcoal to KOH volume. Results showed that KOH concentration was the most significant factor in activating carbon from corn cobs, followed by the ratio and immersion time. The optimal conditions for activating carbon from corn cobs as a desiccant were found to be a KOH concentration of 2%, a ratio of 10 g charcoal to 150 mL KOH, and an immersion time of 2 hours, resulting in a water vapor adsorption capacity of 0.3949 g/g

Abstract

White sweet potato is a local Indonesian food ingredient that can be processed into various products, including nonflaky crackers. Adding different types of starch to the cracker formulation can improve product characteristics, enhancing sensory acceptability. This study aims to determine the effects of the proportion of white sweet potato flour to wheat flour and the type of added starch on the chemical and sensory characteristics of crackers. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used. The factors studied were the addition of various types of starch (P; P1, white sweet potato starch; P2, cornstarch; and P3, tapioca) and the white sweet potato starch: wheat flour ratio (% w/b, T) (T1, 1:3; T2, 1:1; T3, 3:1; and T4, 4:0). The chemical characteristics evaluated were the moisture, ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrate contents. The sensory characteristics evaluated were the taste, texture, color, and degree of liking (preference). The chemical variables were analyzed using ANOVA and DMRT at the α = 5% level. The Friedman test was used for sensory evaluation. The results showed that the type of added starch (P) significantly affected the fat content. Furthermore, the proportion of white sweet potato flour to wheat flour (T) significantly influenced the fat and protein contents. In addition, the treatment combination (PT) significantly affected texture, color, and preference. The best treatment (P1T1) resulted in crackers with 4.40% moisture, 18.06% fat, and 74.86% carbohydrates, along with favorable sensory attributes like slightly salty taste, crunchy texture, and light brown color.

Abstract

Getuk is an Indonesian food made from cassava, which is steamed and then mashed finely and topped with grated coconut. Research on getuk in Indonesia is currently minimal. Solid fats like margarine and butter have been proven to improve the quality of bread products. Getuk is divided into 6 treatments, including control treatment and a combination of solid fats such as butter, and margarine. The analyses conducted include texture profile, color, and moisture content. The addition of solid fats has been shown to have a significant difference in the texture parameters of Hardness, Gumminess, and Chewiness, but it did not have a significant effect on the Resilience parameter. The combination of butter and margarine resulted in a significant decrease in the Springiness and Cohesiveness parameters. Overall, the addition of solid fats had an impact on increasing brightness (L*) and shifting the color towards yellow tendencies (positive b*). The addition of solid fats did not significantly affect the moisture content of getuk.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effects of combining cocoa bean extract and honey in a functional beverage formulation, focusing on physical, chemical, and antioxidant properties. Cocoa beans used were of the Sulawesi 2 clone, sourced from Donggala, Palu, while honey was sourced from Sumbawa, East Nusa Tenggara. The research methods included analysis of total phenolics, flavonoids, catechin, epicatechin, theobromine, and caffeine content using HPLC, and antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH method. The functional beverage was formulated by mixing cocoa powder and honey in various doses, pasteurized at 75°C, and stored at 8-10°C. The addition of honey influenced the phenolic content and antioxidant effectiveness in formulations F1 and F2. Formulation F2 (10.17% cocoa powder, 8.47% honey, and 81.36% water) showed a total phenolic content of 9.36 mg GAE/g. Meanwhile, formulation F1 (10.34% cocoa powder, 6.90% honey, and 82.76% water) had a lower total phenolic content of 6.60 mg GAE/g. Although total phenolics and antioxidant activity decreased due to pasteurization and brewing, F2 (DPPH value of 0.30 mg TEAC/g) demonstrated higher antioxidant activity than F1 (DPPH value of 0.14 mg TEAC/g). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in total phenolic content and pH between F1 and F2 (p 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in antioxidant activity (p 0.05). Therefore, it is essential to consider processing methods to maintain the antioxidant activity of cocoa products derived from the Sulawesi 2 clone.
