Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effect of the proportion of pulp-albedo yellow kepok bananas and the concentration of sucrose on the characteristics of sliced jam. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors and three replications. Data analysis used ANOVA followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% confidence level. The first factor was the proportion of pulp and albedo of yellow kepok bananas (1:2 (A1), 1:1 (A2), 2:1 (A3)). The second factor is the concentration of sucrose (30% (B1), 45% (B2), and 60% (B3)). Parameters observed included moisture content, ash content, pH, total sugar, water activity (aw), total dissolved solids, hardness, and organoleptic analysis, including taste, scent, color, and texture. The treatment results of the proportion pulp-albedo yellow kepok banana and the sucrose concentration significantly affected the water content, ash content, total sugar, total dissolved solids, hardness, and organoleptic tests. Sliced jam with the proportion of pulp-albedo yellow kepok banana (2:1) and sucrose concentration (60%) was the best treatment with 44.16% water content, 1.18% ash content, pH 4.03, total sugar 33, 21%, water activity 0.828, total dissolved solids 50, hardness 31.93N and the taste is quite typical of banana, quite smelly of banana, quite yellow in the color of banana, and has a firm texture.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of biochar and poschar fertilisers derived from livestock manure on red chilli yields and soil organic matter variations. The results demonstrated that the interaction between biochar and poschar substantially affected the fresh chilli pod weight per plant and organic matter content. Applying biochar and poschar organic fertilisers derived from animal manure substantially influenced plant height, fresh fruit weight per plant, and soil organic matter. The interaction between cow manure and poschar from poultry manure produced the highest yield of chilli fruit weight per plant, or an increase of 323.88% compared to the absence of biochar and poschar. The organic matter content of the soil underwent a significant change, with the highest organic matter content resulting from the interaction between chicken biochar and chicken poschar, which increased by 143,00% compared to the control group.

Abstract

Catur Kintamani Village is one of the village areas in Kintamani-Bangli District, besides its cool climate as an Arabica coffee producing area and has received a Geographical Indication Certificate (GIS). Several coffee processing companies have developed, one of which is UPP. Catur Paramita is a business unit of Subak Abian Kenjung Sari. The problem is that coffee skin waste has not been utilized which can disrupt the environment. One alternative solution to the problem is processing coffee husk waste through fermentation using local microorganism (LMO) probiotics from coffee husks for animal feed. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the appearance response of sows given fermented coffee husk waste as a substitute for commercial feed can affect the appearance of sows in the growth phase. The method used to achieve this goal is the experimental design method and the design used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments, namely: Po (without coffee husk waste), P1 (5% substitution of coffee husk waste), and P2 (substitution of 10% coffee husk waste). Each treatment was repeated 3 times. The results showed a significant effect (P<0.05) substitution of fermented coffee husk waste in commercial feed on the growth of pigs aged 1-3 months. The greater the number of substitutions for coffee skin waste up to 10% (P2) had a significant effect (P<0.05) with an increase in body weight of 12.76 kg compared to without substitution (Po) only 7.89 kg and substitution of coffee skin waste 5% (P1) of 10.98 kg. Still, between P1 and Po the difference was not significantly (P>0.05). It can be concluded that substituting commercial feed with fermented coffee husk waste using local microorganisms (LMO) coffee skin as much as 10% significantly improves body weight gain at 1-3 months.

Abstract

Formalin is a food additive that has been banned by BPOM but can still be found in food products. This study aims to determine: 1) the food safety of pindang fish sold in traditional markets in West Surabaya in terms of formalin content and bacterial contamination; 2) the relationship between the hygienic conditions of traders and formalin content on the level of bacterial contamination; and 3) the bacterial growth patterns during room temperature storage of formalin-positive and formalin-negative tuna pindang fish. This is a cross-sectional study with a sampling technique of saturation. A qualitative formalin test was conducted using a formalin test instrument. The results indicated that 88.23% (15 of 17 samples) of cob pindang contained formalin and that 64.7% (11 of 17 samples) exceeded the SNI 2717: 2017 maximum limit for total microorganisms. There was a significant correlation between the level of bacterial contamination and the hygienic conditions of traders. There is no correlation between formalin concentration and bacterial contamination level. The pattern of bacterial proliferation did not differ between formalin-positive and negative cob pindang fish

Abstract

Glyphosate affects the activity of certain soil microbial. Depending on the soil type and concentration, Glyphosate will have different effects. The study determined the effect of Glyphosate on the microbial population and the effect of its different volumes on β-Glucosidase activity on Ultisol used in corn cultivation. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD), two factors with three replicates. The first factor was liming. The second element was Glyphosate at a dosage of 0, 5, 6, 7 L/ha. The study was conducted at the Department of Greenhouse Agriculture, Andalas University, from July to November 2022. The results showed that although there was no interaction and statistically significant between treatments for the total bacteria population. However, the treatment used lime and low volumes of Glyphosate gave the total bacteria population high density. β-Glucosidase, an enzyme produced from a specific type of bacteria in soil, decreased activity while combining lime treatment and Glyphosate, especially from the dosage at 6 L/ha, and had a statistically significant interaction between lime factor and herbicide after the second spray (p<0.05). In conclusion, Glyphosate and lime can alter and reduce microbial soil activity and number, particularly at high 6 and 7 L/ha volumes.

Abstract

Development prospects and opportunities for processed foods derived from taro have recently increased. Taro crackers are one of the snack foods that are in high demand among consumers. The Taro Processing Group of Wanagiri Village, Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, formed in 2020 with ten members, participates in Regional Superior Product Development Programme activities. Partners have produced and marketed taro tubers processed into taro chips, but the process has not been exhaustive, and partners wish to increase the quantity and quality. As a result of their lack of knowledge in the fields of processing and effective business management, partners encounter difficulties in managing production and marketing. This activity aims to equip the Wanagiri Village Taro Processing Group with the skills and knowledge to manage local natural resources and the entrepreneurial mentality to capitalise on business opportunities related to Wanagiri Village conditions. The implementation method involves coaching, training, mentoring, and structured consultation on various partner-related issues. Regional Leading Product Development Programme Wanagiri Taro Processing Group, Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, has yielded positive results. The Wanagiri Taro Processing Group increased its value and enhanced its living conditions. Regional Leading Product Development Programme application is possible. The community can assimilate up to 80% of knowledge regarding the processing of taro chips with varying flavours, product packaging, and marketing, which will aid in product development. In addition, comprehension exists regarding cultivating taro plants in the backyard, using taro processing waste as animal fodder, and business management. This activity should be performed continuously, along with assistance, so that the group can independently produce and sell taro snacks with various flavors.

Abstract

The sustainability of the pig industry can be improved through nutrition by increasing efficiency in an environmentally friendly environment. Alternative feed ingredients from agricultural waste or industrial by-products have attracted sustainable pig production systems. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sustainable pig nutrition by partially replacing soybean meal with copra meal. A total of 18 crossbred (L.Y.D.) growing female pigs were reared under three dietary treatments. Treatments were 1) corn-soybean meal diet (CON), 2) white copra meal, and 3) brown copra meal. The experimental results indicated no significant difference (P>0.05) in feed intake and weight gain for pigs fed the three experimental diets. However, pigs fed the white copra meal diet tended to have better feed intake than brown copra meal treatment. At week 2 of the experimental period, pigs fed copra meal diets had better feed efficiency than the CON diet (P<0.001). In conclusion, sustainable pig nutrition with copra meal may be used as an alternative for partial soybean meal in pig diets.

Abstract

The problem being faced by farmer groups in the rainy season is the increased growth of fungi that cause plant diseases, such as Rigdiforus lignosus fungi, Fusarium oxysporum, Rizoctonia solani, Fusarium monilifome, Sclerotium rolfsii, and Sclerotium rilfisil fungi. With the concept of controlling plant-disrupting organisms (OPT) naturally, to get healthy plant cultivation free from disease (especially plant diseases caused by pathogenic fungi), Trichoderma compost (TrichoCompost Fertilizer) is applied. Interviews, face-to-face, counseling, and direct practice methods will do the method to implement this training. This activity aims to train participants to understand how to make Trichoderma compost as organic fertilizer to get healthy organic vegetables. The output target to be achieved is using appropriate technology in cow manure processing technology into compost plus Trichoderma sp. Based on the results of activities, Trichoderma compost can suppress pathogenic fungi by 98.53% so that farmer groups produce healthy plants free of pathogenic diseases.
