Abstract

West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) is the third-largest tobacco-producing province in Indonesia. However, the dynamics of tobacco production tend to decline, one of which is due to its productivity and land area, which also tends to stagnate. Technology is one of the levers of productivity and the efficiency and effectiveness of supply chain management. The objectives of this research are to assess the level of technology adoption, analyze the factors influencing farmers' decisions to adopt technology, and develop policy recommendations based on the findings. This research uses mixed methods, namely qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative approach uses an in-depth interview approach and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with farmers and stakeholders of the tobacco industry. The quantitative approach uses the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results showed that farmers who used tractors, ovens, tobacco pressing, power weeder, and combine harvester technology were 42%, 71%, 46%, 21%, and 2%, respectively. The results of PLS-SEM analysis showed that the variables of education and age had a positive and significant effect on the adoption of tobacco farmer technology. In contrast, the variables of length of farming and land area did not have a significant effect. The variables of land area, length of farming experience, and farmers' age do not significantly affect technology adoption. Based on the results of this study, several strategies to increase technology adoption for tobacco farmers are institutional strengthening to facilitate socialization and counseling related to technology, the establishment of financing schemes that are friendly to farmers, and the development of research and innovation related to appropriate technology to economic, social, cultural, and environmental aspects.

Abstract

Seaweed (Seaweed) is one of the country's leading commodities in the fisheries sector which has the potential to be widely developed. Seaweed can be used as a cosmetic ingredient. One of the cosmetic products made from seaweed is soap. The carrageenan content in soap functions to moisturize the skin. This research used the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method with the aim of determining the characterization of raw materials consisting of proximate analysis and characteristics of seaweed transparent solid soap including pH test, soap foam test, irritation test, sensory test and moisture test. Soap making used 4 different treatments with the addition of seaweed (F0: control), (F1: 1 g), (F2: 2 g) and (F3: 3 g). The results of the characterization of fresh, dry and flour Eucheuma cottonii seaweed raw materials were analyzed for water, ash, fat, fiber and protein content and had different nutritional content. The addition of Eucheuma cottonii seaweed flour had no significant effect (p.0.05) on the characteristics of seaweed soap which had a pH range of 10.29-10.45 and soap foam of 12.18-13.13 cm. Irritation tests were carried out on 12 panelists and 0 % found redness, itching and roughness. Sensory tests (transparency, aroma and impression after use) were carried out on 30 panelists and it was found that there were significant differences in soap transparency in each formula (p0.05) and no significant differences in aroma and impression after using soap (p0.05). . The results of the moisture test using a skin analyzer showed that the panelists' skin moisture before using transparent soap ranged from 38.81-39.36 % and after using transparent soap it ranged from 45.63-47.09 %. The transparent solid soap formulation provided a significant skin moisturizing effect (p0.05). The highest humidity is in F3, namely by adding 3 g of seaweed flour (Eucheuma cottonii).

Abstract

Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian fermented food made from soybeans, which are rich in protein and essential nutrients. However, the increasing demand for soybeans, particularly in Indonesia, has led to a search for alternative legumes. This study aims to evaluate the potential of hyacinth beans (HB) and sword beans (SD) as alternative legumes for tempeh production in comparison to conventional soybean (SB) tempeh. The research was conducted in two phases. The first phase was determining the optimum fermentation duration for HB and SD tempeh compared to SB tempeh using sensory appearance, hardness, and microscopic observation. The second phase was to determine the eating quality of all tempeh, which were steamed and fried, by sensory evaluation supported by color and texture analyses. Protein content analysis was also conducted on raw and cooked tempeh. Results showed that optimal fermentation durations were determined as 36 hours for HB and SD and 48 hours for SB tempeh, which had optimum sensory appearance, hardness, and Rhizopus mycelial growth. SB tempeh was more favored in the second phase than HB and SD tempeh. The preference for SB tempeh compared to the other two was thought to be because the panelists were more familiar with the sensory characteristics of SB tempeh. Protein content was highest in fried SB tempeh (37.49%), significantly increasing due to moisture loss during frying. While the original tempeh made from SB remains the most favored, non-SB legumes, especially SD, also present viable alternatives for tempeh production. Consequently, non-SB tempeh has the potential to reduce dependence on soybeans and support food diversification.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between physics and chemical properties and sensory quality of cuko pempek, a traditional chili–tamarind sauce from Palembang, and assessed its potential contribution to micronutrient intake. Ten samples of cuko from different small-scale producers were analyzed for fructose, moisture, viscosity, and sensory attributes. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that fructose, viscosity, and moisture jointly explained about 70% of the variance in taste preference, with fructose emerging as the dominant driver of consumer acceptance. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) further identified a single quality dimension defined by fructose and viscosity, confirming the close integration of chemical and sensory characteristics. Secondary data analysis showed that a 15 g serving of cuko pempek contributes approximately 0.30–0.38 mg Fe (4–5% RDA), 0.03–0.15 mg Zn (1–5% RDA), and 1.8–8 mg vitamin C (12–50% RDA) for children aged 1–5 years. While modest in absolute terms, vitamin C from tamarind and chili enhances non-heme iron absorption from fish-based pempek, positioning cuko pempek as not only a flavor enhancer but also a functional condiment. In conclusion, cuko pempek quality is primarily determined by fructose concentration and viscosity, while its micronutrient profile—particularly vitamin C—supports improved iron bioavailability. Standardizing formulation and exploring targeted fortification (Fe, Zn) represent practical strategies to maximize both sensory quality and nutritional impact. These findings suggest that cuko pempek holds potential as a culturally relevant food to support nutrition-sensitive interventions, including stunting prevention in Indonesia.

Abstract

Sustainable innovation performance has become increasingly important for enhancing the competitiveness of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in emerging economies. However, evidence on the influence of strategic orientation dimensions remains mixed, and the moderating role of open innovation is still unclear.  In addition, limited research has combined explanatory and predictive approaches to examine both causal relationships and complex patterns. To address these gaps, this study integrates Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) using data from 183 food-sector MSMEs in Pekanbaru City. PLS-SEM examined causal relationships, whereas ANN captured nonlinear predictive patterns. The findings show that environmental, technological, entrepreneurial, and customer orientations positively influence sustainable innovation performance, with environmental orientation emerging as the strongest predictor, whereas learning orientation exhibits a negative, context-dependent relationship.  Open innovation does not significantly moderate these relationships, suggesting that internally aligned strategic capabilities may be more important than external collaboration in resource-constrained settings. This study clarifies the distinct roles of strategic orientation dimensions and the limited moderating role of open innovation in the MSME context. The findings offer practical insights for MSMEs seeking to strengthen innovation performance through strategically aligned internal capabilities.

Abstract

Starch can be modified through physical treatment, particularly by using the pregelatinizing technique. Pregelatinizing is a hydrothermal modification process that involves heating starch beyond its gelatinization temperature. This treatment improves the physicochemical and functional characteristics of starch (MOCAF), thereby enhancing its performance in various applications. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature and pre-gelatinization time on the physicochemical and functional properties of pregelatinizing of MOCAF. The research method used a randomized block design (RBD) with two factors. The factor A was heating time (10, 15, and 20 minutes), and factor B was heating temperature (90, 100, and 1100C). The parameters of the observations made include syneresis, swelling power, solubility, Water Holding Capacity (WHC), Oil Holding Capacity (OHC), moisture content, ash content, starch content, amylose content, and amylopectin content with two repetitions. The best results showed the treatment of 20 minutes heating time and a temperature of 1100C with characteristics syneresis 0.45 ± 0.02 (g/g); swelling power 19.64 ± 0.41 (%); solubility 10.30 ± 0 .40 (%); WHC 235.52 ± 0.43 (%); OHC 159.13 ± 0.37 (%); moisture content 9.92 ± 0.08 ( %); amylopectin content 57.75±0.21 (%); amylose content 31.22±0.01 (%); and starch content 85.20±0.02 (%). Modification methods using pregelatinizing MOCAF with temperature treatment and heating time had a significant effect on syneresis, swelling power, solubility, WHC, OHC, moisture content, ash content, amylose content, starch content, and amylopectin content so, MOCAF with pregelatinizing can be widely used for applications in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and paper industries.

Abstract

The declining competitiveness of the regional cocoa agroindustry poses a major challenge to sustainably enhancing the added value of cocoa commodities. This study aims to design a competitive management model for the cocoa agroindustry in Pidie Jaya Regency, using Socolatte as a case study of a community-based processing industry. A system dynamics approach was used as the modeling method, based on systems thinking and incorporating feedback loops and time delays to understand complex behavioral dynamics within the agroindustry management system. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders across the cocoa value chain, including farmers, traders, processors, company leaders, and cooperatives. Secondary data were obtained from relevant institutions. The model was formulated and simulated using Vensim PLE software. The results identified ten key sub-models: cocoa bean transportation, harvesting on company/cooperative plantations, sales from supported smallholder farms, harvesting on independent smallholder farms, processing capacity management, factory labor, final processing stages, Socolatte inventory management, Socolatte market and order system, and Socolatte financial management. The novelty of this study lies in the holistic integration of various sub-systems within a community-based cocoa agroindustry into a single dynamic modeling framework, which has rarely been applied in a localized context such as Pidie Jaya. The model maps causal relationships across production, management, distribution, and financial aspects simultaneously, providing a strategic decision-making tool for agroindustry stakeholders. These findings offer strategic insights to improve system efficiency, enhance product value, and increase profitability for both smallholder cocoa farmers and local cocoa processing companies in Pidie Jaya Regency.
