Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of edible coating based on oil palm derivatives with the addition of chitosan in maintaining the quality of Pondoh Wonosobo salak fruit during storage. The edible coating is formulated from palm stearin esters (the result of a synthesis reaction) as well as chitosan, carrageenan, GMS, and Tween 80 additives. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two treatments, namely control and coating, and data analysis using descriptive statistics in the form of averages and standard deviations presented in the form of quality change graphs. Salak was coated with a selective coating and/ , stored at room temperature for 12 days, with the observed parameters including weight loss, hardness, total dissolved solids, acidity, vitamin C, and moisture content. The results showed that edible coating was effective in suppressing quality degradation, characterized by lower weight loss (24.1% vs. 48.7% control). The coating treatment also showed a tendency to maintain hardness, total dissolved solids, vitamin C, and moisture content better than controls. This innovation has the potential to extend the shelf life of salak.

Abstract

The Singojuruh District in Banyuwangi Regency plays a pivotal role in rice cultivation, characterized by a large agricultural area and the highest levels of rice production and productivity compared to other districts. Among the various rice farming practices, organic red rice cultivation has emerged as a promising alternative due to its growing market demand and favorable selling prices for farmers. However, its productivity and profitability remain suboptimal, primarily due to the limited use of agricultural machinery such as transplanters and combine harvesters. This study aims to examine the effects of mechanization—specifically the use of transplanters and combine harvesters—on working time, labor requirements, and farmers' income in organic red rice farming in the Singojuruh District. A survey method was employed, involving farmers as respondents to assess the relative conditions, distribution patterns, and inter-variable relationships. Furthermore, an independent sample t-test was conducted to compare the variables. The findings reveal that the application of transplanters and combine harvesters significantly reduces working time and labor requirements while simultaneously increasing farmers' income in organic red rice farming.

Abstract

Water resources are one of the important factors in the agricultural process. The availability of water in an area is strongly influenced by several factors such as climate, rainfall, regional topography, and land use change. Adoption of an effective and efficient irrigation system to support crop growth is needed. This study aims to design a subsurface drip fertigation system for lettuce crops and determine the response to cow urine fermentation fertilizer. The research method used is an experimental method with field experiments using subsurface drip fertigation. The research parameters were soil physical properties, emitter droplet uniformity, crop water requirements, soil wetting area, pressure head, storage water reduction, lettuce crop growth, and crop productivity. The results showed that the uniformity value of the emitter droplets before being applied to the field was 58.03%. At the same time, the emitter uniformity value after being applied to the area was 81.8%, which is classified as good and can be applied in the field to support the growth of lettuce crops. In addition, the wetting range and pressure values were 14.66 cm and 4.9 cm. The results of plant growth observations, such as the total leaf area of 60.5 cm, the average number of leaves of 5, and the crown width, which increased with the age of the plant, reached 9.8 cm. The fresh weight of the lettuce plants was 255 grams, and the average weight of the lettuce plants was 15.94 grams.

Abstract

Pemupukan yang efisien penting untuk meningkatan produktivitas kelapa sawit. Namun pemupukan yang dilakukan secara manual menghadapi berbagai kendala, antara lain: biaya yang tinggi, ketidaktepatan dosis, dan distribusi pupuk yang tidak merata. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis efisiensi pemupukan mekanis menggunakan fertilizer spreader dibandingkan menggunakan pemupukan manual ditinjau dari segi biaya operasional, penggunaan tenaga kerja, dan distribusi pupuk. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan eksperimen lapangan dengan pendekatan komparatif antara dua metode pemupukan: secara manual menggunakan tenaga kerja (control) dan pemupukan mekanis menggunakan fertilizer spreader (perlakuan). Data disajikan dan dianalisis dalam bentuk grafis perbandingan biaya dan waktu aplikasi. Perkebunan sawit dengan areal datar, mengakibatkan traktor berjalan lebih cepat sehingga bukaan hopper harus lebih besar. Pada areal sawit bergelombang traktor berjalan lebih lambat, diperlukan flow control yang lebih kecil agar pupuk tidak berlebihan. Pemupukan manual membutuhkan 15–20 orang tenaga kerja per siklus, dengan output rata-rata 850 kg/hari atau 2.4 ha/hari. Selain itu, tenaga kerja tambahan dibutuhkan untuk proses pembagian pupuk ke lokasi tanam dengan output 2,500 kg/hari. Pemupukan mekanis hanya memerlukan 3 orang (1 operator traktor dan 2 helper), dengan kemampuan memupuk 25 ha/hari dalam waktu kerja 8 jam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemupukan mekanis lebih efisien dengan penghematan biaya (selisih) sebesar Rp 57,429/ha/rotasi. Jika pemupukan dilakukan setahun dua kali maka penghematan total adalah Rp 110.966/Ha/tahun dibandingkan dengan pemupukan manual.

Abstract

Durian (Durio zibethinus) peel is a major agro-waste with high lignocellulosic content and functional groups, making it a promising precursor for activated carbon. This study synthesized and characterized activated carbon from South Lampung durian peel using potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation at 0 M, 1 M, and 2 M. Proximate analysis (moisture and ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon) was conducted, and exponential regression models were developed to examine the effect of KOH concentration. Results showed significant effects (p < 0.05) of KOH on all parameters. Moisture decreased from 59.23±2.02% to 7.19±3.27%, ash from 6.29±0.31% to 1.45±0.52%, and volatile matter from 7.81±0.45% to 2.09±0.02%, while fixed carbon increased from 84.88±0.31% to 89.72±0.52%. All parameters followed exponential trends with high R² values, indicating strong model fit. These findings confirmed that KOH activation improves activated carbon quality, and exponential models provide predictive insight. Therefore, durian peel from South Lampung is promising for high-quality activated carbon production.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera leaves (MOL) are one of the food ingredients that have complete nutritional content at an affordable price. These leaves are found in several regions of Indonesia, including Lampung Selatan. However, a notable drawback of MOL is its limited shelf life, and it is commonly transformed into Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP) to enhance longevity. This study aims to explore the physicochemical properties of MOLP from Lampung Selatan, which has not been widely examined. This approach used in this study was quantitative descriptive. The results showed that the MOLP from Lampung Selatan had showed  L* value of 59.36, a* value of -8.05, and b* value of 23.36. It additionally revealed 21.10% protein, 3.49% fat content, 0.73% ash content, 5.83% moisture content, 68.84% carbohydrate content, 6.87% crude fiber content, and 15.47% starch. These results indicate that the MOLP from Lampung Selatan had a green colour, high in protein and crude fiber content, and low in fat and starch content. Therefore, MOLP from Lampung Selatan exhibits encouraging potential as a functional food ingredient in the development of food products requiring a high protein and fiber content at an affordable price.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh penyimpanan dingin (chiller) dan beku (freezer) serta pengemasan terhadap kualitas tomat sebagai salah satu komoditas hortikultura bernilai ekonomis tinggi. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan rancangan faktorial dua arah tanpa ulangan, dengan faktor jenis kemasan (plastik PE dan kertas koran) serta suhu penyimpanan (0 °C dan 8-10 °C). Parameter mutu yang diamati meliputi warna, tekstur, kekerasan, dan susut bobot tomat selama 7 hari penyimpanan. Dalam hal ini, kekerasan diamati sebagai parameter mekanis spesifik (force to penetrate/compress), sedangkan tekstur mencakup karakteristik sensori yang lebih luas seperti kekenyalan dan integritas jaringan. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa penyimpanan beku cenderung lebih efektif dalam mempertahankan kekerasan tomat dibandingkan penyimpanan dingin, meskipun berpotensi menyebabkan perubahan warna yang lebih drastis akibat kerusakan membran sel. Parameter tekstur secara umum juga lebih stabil pada kondisi beku, namun perubahan struktur jaringan setelah thawing tetap perlu diperhatikan. Sementara itu, susut bobot lebih besar terjadi pada penyimpanan chiller, terutama pada kemasan plastik PE, yang disebabkan oleh laju transpirasi dan penguapan air yang lebih tinggi. Analisis ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa suhu penyimpanan memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap parameter kekerasan (p < 0.05), namun tidak signifikan terhadap susut bobot maupun tekstur. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pemilihan metode dan kondisi penyimpanan yang tepat—termasuk suhu dan jenis bahan pengemas—sangat penting untuk mempertahankan mutu tomat selama penyimpanan pascapanen. Untuk mempertahankan mutu fisik tomat selama penyimpanan pascapanen, disarankan menggunakan metode penyimpanan beku (freezer) yang dikombinasikan dengan kemasan berbahan kertas koran. Kombinasi ini terbukti lebih efektif dalam menjaga kekerasan dan tekstur tomat hingga 7 hari, sekaligus meminimalkan susut bobot dibandingkan penyimpanan dingin (chiller) dengan plastik PE. Namun, perlu diperhatikan potensi perubahan warna akibat kerusakan pigmen selama proses pembekuan dan pencairan, sehingga produk sebaiknya segera dikonsumsi setelah thawing untuk menghindari penurunan kualitas visual.

Abstract

The drying of bananas as raw material for banana chips still often uses traditional methods that depend on weather and contaminants, which often pose challenges in maintaining quality and production efficiency, especially in Pasaman Barat District. The objective of this study is to analyze a hybrid rack-type dryer made of polycarbonate as an alternative solution for banana chip processing. This study employed an experimental method with a randomized block design (RBD) with three treatment groups for drying energy sources, including: sunlight (P1), incandescent lamp (P2), and sunlight + incandescent lamp (P3). The data were analyzed using the ANOVA test (p<0.05). The parameters observed in this study were: drying time, moisture content, temperature, working capacity, drying rate, heat loss, energy required to evaporate water from the material, and drying energy efficiency. The use of incandescent lamps in banana chip drying was proven to be the most efficient and effective, with an average drying time of 9 hours (2 hours and 3 hours shorter than P3 and P1, respectively), a working capacity of 0.18 kg/hour, moisture content <40% (in accordance with SNI 01-4319-1996 standards), drying rate of 0.07 kg/hour, heat loss of 28.39 W, and energy required to evaporate the material's water content of 1,391.55 kJ. Meanwhile, the drying energy efficiency of P3 is 1.58 times and 1.64 times higher than P2 and P1, respectively, at 59.80%. Thus, this device is deemed suitable for use as a new, more effective and efficient method for drying banana chips.
