Abstract

One problem of peanut cultivation is the inability of peanut seeds to be stored long-term. Prolonged storage of seed peanuts causes seed deterioration due to seeds losing reserves of food and nutrient that cause the seeds difficult to germinate. As well as other problems, namely Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium fertilization which has not been based on plant needs, fertilizer application tends to be excessive. The purpose of this study is to know the interaction and the main effect of the concentration treatment of coconut water immersion and NPK fertilization doses. This study used a factorial randomized block design with three replications. The first factor was the immersion concentration of coconut water (A) which consisted of 3 levels, namely: 0% coconut water (A1), 15% coconut water (A2), and 30% coconut water (A3) and the second factor was the dose of NPK fertilization (B) consisting of 4 levels, namely: NPK 0 g/plot (B1), NPK 22.5 g/plot (150 kg/ha) (B2), 45 g/plot (300 kg/ha) (B3), and NPK 67.5 g/plot (450 kg/ha) (B4). The results showed that (1) there was a significant interaction only on the number of primary branches with the applied treatment, 15% coconut water immersion concentration and NPK fertilization dose of 22.5 grams/plot (A2B2) (7.7 branches). (2) Concentration immersion in coconut water significantly affected the percentage of pithy pods, the percentage of empty pods, and the weight of 100 seeds, with the best treatment being the concentration of 15% coconut water immersion (A2). (3) Dose of NPK fertilization factor had a significant effect on harvesting age, percentage of empty pods, wet pod weight and productivity with the best treatment of 67.5 gram/plot NPK fertilization (B4).

Abstract

Kombucha is a fermented beverage product often produced by adding kombucha culture into sweetened tea, juices, coffee, and herb extracts. Coffee is a refreshing ingredient commonly served as a beverage prepared from roasted coffee beans. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the chemical and microbiological characteristics of kombucha beverage produced from robusta and arabica coffee through natural methods with light, medium, and dark roasting profiles. Ground-roasted robusta and arabica coffee were dissolved into a sucrose solution, then the kombucha culture was added to these treatments and fermented for 14 days at ambient temperature. Subsequently, each kombucha beverage was analyzed for Total Soluble Solid (TSS), pH, Total Titrated Acid (TTA), Soluble Vitamin C, Caffeine Content, and Total Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). The results showed that TSS decreased on the 14th day due to sucrose degradation by microbes. TTA increased at the end of the processing, followed by a lower pH (2.87–3.49), signifying a safe value for human consumption. The soluble Vitamin C increased on the seventh day and decreased on the 14th day, which was related to the oxidation process during fermentation. The monoanion of ascorbic acid became oxidized by oxygen molecules and formed other unstable compounds. The total LAB and caffeine content elevated along with fermentation time due to the caffeine solubility which increased in low pH solution.
