Abstract

Koi fish (Cyprinus carpio) is one of the ornamental fish that has a beautiful body shape and color so it has high economic value. Indicators of beauty in ornamental fish can be seen in the brilliant color, physical shape and completeness, behavior, and health conditions or stamina. These koi fish are often used as aquarium decorations and are art consumption for enthusiasts. The beauty of the color of Koi fish is in demand by the community so that farmers need to maintain the color of ornamental fish by providing feed that contains color pigments. Carotenoids are the main natural components that make up color pigments, which have a good effect on red and orange colors. Sources of carotenoids can come from spirulina which contains phycocyanin, chlorophyll-a, and carotene. Carotene is composed of xantophyll (37%), carotene (28%), and zeaxanthin (17%). Providing a source of color pigment in fish feed is one of the efforts made to get a bright color that is evenly distributed in fish. Feeding containing 8% spirulina was effective in increasing color pigmentation in the red swordtail (Xiphophorus helleri). The addition of 1.2% spirulina flour to artificial feed gave a very significant effect on increasing color intensity and was the highest result in increasing color intensity of Koi fish.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to analyze the potential of incorporating bali cattle hide gelatin and gaharu leaf extract encapsulated as an edible film with antioxidant potential. The research method was using Completely Randomized Design, ie concentration of gaharu leaf extract encapsulated (G0 = 0%, G1 = 5%, G2 = 10%, G3 = 15% and G4 = 20%). The results showed that the characteristics of edible films were significantly different (P <0.05), such as moisture content (7.37%) in G4; protein (86.25%) in G0, phenol (10.84 mg / 100 g GAE) in G4 and antioxidant (150.36 mg / L. GAEAC) in G4, and the effect was not significant on ash content of the film. It film thickness, tensile strength, elongation, and water vapor transmission rate of edible film were significant (P <0.05) influence with results for 0.04 mm (G0); 1.64 Mpa (G0); 54.86% (G1) and 11.20 g.mm/m2.day in G4, respectively. The conclusion of the research is edible film of incorporation of balicattle skin bali gelatin and gaharu leaf extract encapsulated with 20% concentration yielding functional characteristics (potency antioxidant) with the highest value. Indicators of chemical characteristics include moisture content (7.37%); ash content (0.49%); protein content (71,98%); phenol (10.84 mg / 100 g GAE) and antioxidant (150.36 mg / L GAEAC). While physical indicators include film thickness (0.02 mm); tensile strength (1.54 MPa); elongation (71.48%) and water vapor transmission rate (11.20 g.mm/m2.day).

Abstract

The development of innovative products is currently growing rapidly producing a variety of processed products that are increasingly diverse. Taro tubers are one of the potential foodstuffs to be developed. Taro in addition to having carbohydrate component, also contains other components that are good for health. Taro has the disadvantage of itching when consuming taro due to the oxalate compounds contained in it. This has resulted in people being reluctant to process taro. This problem was experienced by one of the groups in Wanagiri Village, namely the Prosperous Family Empowerment Group (PKK) Wanagiri, which is located in Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, Province Bali, Indonesia. The partner does not yet know the taste of taro, and does not have innovative product management made from taro. Solutions to overcome such problems are: providing knowledge regarding the cultivation and processing of taro, providing training on the processing of taro products (bread, nuggets and jams) and how to package, market and handle processing waste. The method used is active community participation. Community Self-Reliance Activities (KKM) in Wanagiri Village have been running smoothly. The added value of the Wanagiri PKK group and their standard of living has increased. Taro-based innovative product development with a zero-waste concept can be applied. Knowledge of how to process taro into bread, nuggets, chips and jam, product packaging, and marketing can help people to increase self-sufficiency. Mentoring activities should be carried out on an ongoing basis so that groups are able to independently make products (chips, bread, nuggets and jam), wider marketing and ultimately increased welfare.

Abstract

Empty fruit bunches of Palm Oil (EFB) are a potential source of biomass energy because they contain lignocellulose (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) so that they can be converted into biopellets for co-firing. The purpose of this research is to determine the raw material properties of EFB in the form of proximate, ultimate, lignin, and biopellets. Using a pelletizer, biopellets are created by adding starch as an adhesive. The raw material characteristics of EFB from proximate analysis revealed moisture content of 11.98%, ash content of 6.53%, volatile matter content of 65.15%, and fixed carbon content of 16.44%. According to the final study results, the biopellets from empty fruit bunches included 48.53% C, 6.05% H, 0.32% N, 36.8% O, and 0.08% Sulphure. The atomic ratio obtained from the final analysis results could be used to determine the calorific value that can be used for fuel; the biopellet calorific value of EFB is 4,583 kcal/kg, with Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) values of 78.6 and Ash Fusion Temperature (AFT) 1100oC. The lower the value of the atomic ratio contained, the higher the calorific value contained in a specific fuel.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the feasibility of kemojo cake products using stevia as a sweetener produced on an industrial scale. The research method used a descriptive method with mathematical analysis. The research begins with making assumptions and analysing parameters, components and cost structure, investment funding requirements and working capital. These parameters calculate production, revenue, and cash flow projections. Determination of the economic feasibility of kemojo cake products with Net Present Value (NPV), Incremental Rate of Return (IRR), Net B/C and Pay Back Period (PBP). The assumption of a year's production of kemojo cakes is 31,680 boxes for at IDR 35,000.00/box. The proportion of capital comes from 60% own capital and 40% credit. The average operational costs per year are IDR 675,083,359.00, variable costs IDR 549,813,919.00 and fixed costs IDR 125,269,440.00. The average income per year is IDR 1,108,800,000.00 while expenses are IDR 770,378,416.00. The profit earned was IDR 287,658,346. Profit on sales of 20.40% with 15% tax per year. This business BEP occurs in sales of an average value of Rp 338,421,584 or 25.94% of production capacity per year. The results showed that the NPV was Rp 279,583,647, the IRR was 79%, and the Net B/C was 2.22 times. Based on existing criteria or assumptions, this business is feasible to carry out with PBP for two years, or the capital invested in this business can be returned before the project ends (3 years).

Abstract

Along with the growing number of people, the need for food is also growing. Citrus nobilis l is one of the many well-known fruits. Citrus nobilis L, both in its fresh and processed forms, is easily broken if it is not treated correctly. This study hopes to make things look better and save power simultaneously by coming up with different emulsions. Palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and a mix make the slurry. Organoleptic study of Citrus nobilis L., vitamin C content, water content, and identification of compounds using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Evaluation of organoleptic analysis test done by hedonic test (colour, smell, texture, taste, and general acceptance) and test scoring (colour, texture). A combination of palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids in an emulsion will make tangerine fruit look better and last longer. How vitamin C and water are measured and analyzed affects different emulsions. When citrus fruits are treated with palmitic, stearic, and oleic acid solutions, the lowest quality drops to 14.4851 mg of vitamin C per 100 grammes and 91.8401% water. The total amount of volatile compounds in fruit orange conjoined DL-Limonene has many different areas of volatile compounds in each treatment emulsion.
