ABSTRACT Liquid sago sugar is a newly developed product by the Besagood MSMEs, produced through an additional purification process aimed at improving product quality, particularly by enhancing color and removing impurities. This study aimed to analyze consumer acceptance of clarified liquid sago sugar by assessing hedonic preferences, overall product acceptance, willingness to pay (WTP), a…
ABSTRACT Avocado seeds (Persea americana Mill.) contain antioxidant compounds such as phenolics and flavonoids that can neutralize free radicals and absorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation, making them potential natural active ingredients in sunscreen formulations. This research aimed to determine the optimal concentration of ethanol extract of avocado seeds in relation to its inhibitory concent…
ABSTRACT Pineapple peel can be used as a natural ingredient in making mosquitorepellent lotion because it contains many secondary metabolite compounds. The effectiveness of using pineapple skin extract as a raw material for making mosquito repellent lotion is not yet known, so it is necessary to add other natural ingredients that are known to be effective in making mosquito repellent lotio…
ABSTRACT Tomatoes were classified as climacteric fruit with a hight water content of up to 94%, which caused them to spoil quickly. The method used to extend the shelf life and inhibit spoilage was the application of an edible coating. This research aimed to determine the best concentration of corn starch in the production of edible coating on tomatoes during storage. The study was carried…
ABSTRACT Pectin is an additive widely used in various industries because it can form a gel. Pectin is obtained through an extraction process and is influenced by various factors such as temperature and time. This study aimed to determine the optimum extraction temperature and time for pineapple peel pectin characteristics in according to the quality standards of the International Pectin Pr…
ABSTRACT PT Murini SamSam used high-pressure machines and equipment that had the potential to cause occupational hazards. The high-risk stage was the sterilization process of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) using pressurized steam, which required an effective safety system to minimize accidents and health problems. This study aimed to provide risk control recommendations at PT Murini SamSam, loc…
ABSTRACT Red grapes are fruits that contain relatively high water content and have a soft texture, which makes them highly susceptible to damage and spoilage. Postharvest handling efforts are necessary to prevent early damage and extend the shelf life of red grapes through the application of an edible coating derived from chitosan. Chitosan is suitable as an edible coating because it meets…
ABSTRACT Bioplastics are eco-friendly alternatives to petrochemical plastics, capable of degrading naturally. Starch-based bioplastics, such as those from sago are renewable but limited by brittleness and moisture sensitivity. To enhance their performance, cellulose fillers are often incorporated. Sago pulp, a lignocelluloserich byproduct of sago starch processing, offers promising potenti…
ABSTRACT Sago is one of the plants with high starch content and potentially to be used for biodegradable film production. Biodegradable film from natural sago starch has low mechanical properties and water resistance so it is necessary to modify the starch with sodium tripolyphosphate as cross-linking agents. Biodegradable film from modified sago starch still has low mechanical properties,…
ABSTRACT Cocoa pod husk waste has the potential to be utilized in an economically and environmentally friendly manner, one of which is as a raw material for the production of activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is a solid form of carbon with a large surface area, ranging from 100 to 2000 m²/g. The objective of this study was to identify the most effective concentration of sulfuric acid as …
ABSTRACT This study aimed to obtain the best extraction temperature and pH for the pectin characteristics of pineapple peel in accordance with the quality standards of the International Pectin Producers Association (IPPA). The research was conducted experimentally using a factorial complete random design (CRD) consisting of two factors. The first factor was the extraction temperature of S1…
ABSTRACT Liquid body wash is a personal care product formulated to cleanse the skin. The addition of natural extracts, such as pineapple peel extract, in the formulation of liquid bath soap is expected to enhance its characteristics, making it safe and suitable for use. This study aimed to determine the best treatment for liquid soap with added pineapple peel extract on the antioxidant activit…
ABSTRACT Sweet orange is one of the horticultural commodities that is perishable due to its highwater content and continuous respiration and transpiration process after harvest. This condition causes sweet oranges to deteriorate quickly. One effort to reduce fruit damage is by applying an edible coating made from cassava starch. The purpose of this study was to obtain the best concentratio…
ABSTRACT Biodegradable plastic is a type of eco-friendly plastic that can decompose naturally because it was made from organic raw materials such as starch. Starch sources can be obtained by utilizing agricultural waste such as jackfruit seeds. Biodegradable plastics made from starch have low mechanical properties so there is a need for the addition of reinforcers or fillers such as cellul…
ABSTRACT Jengkol fruit peel are plantation waste that can be used as raw materials for activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is made by carbonization and activation processes. This research aimeds to obtain the best concentration of Natrium Hydroxide as an activator in making activated charcoal from jengkol fruit peel. The research was conducted experimentally used a completely randomized…
ABSTRACT Banana is a climacteric fruit that continues to respire after harvest, making it susceptible to damage during storage.
