Exploring the potential of coffee cherry peel flour (Coffea arabica) and banana peel liquid (Musa × paradisiaca) as substitutes in rolled bolu cake

Introduction: This research intends to investigate the potential of coffee cherry peel flour and banana peel liquid as cake-baking alternatives, taking into account both their chemical qualities and organoleptic reactions. Methods: This experimental study uses baking and steaming techniques to analyze coffee cherry peel flour and banana peel liquid. Chemical analysis of carbohydrates, protein, fiber, moisture, ash, and fat content is conducted, along with organoleptic analysis of color, fragrance, taste, and texture. The ANOVA method is used for data analysis. Results: According to the research findings, the greatest results are obtained when baking a cake using a mixture of 50% coffee cherry peel flour and 30% banana peel liquid. The cake has a chemical composition characterized by the presence of 28.9% carbohydrate, 4.02% protein, 6.23% fiber, 25.2% moisture content, 0.45% ash content, and 41.5% fat content. The organoleptic testing results indicate that this cake has received a favorable rating in terms of color (5.49 on the liking scale), scent (5.60 indicating very high liking), taste (5.44 indicating liking), and texture (5.31 indicating liking).Conclusion: The research results show that a 50% concentration of coffee cherry peel flour and a 30% banana peel liquid considerably change all organoleptic characteristics of the cake. The cake prepared using these specific proportions exhibits desirable attributes, including a well-received brown hue, a typical coffee fragrance, a discernible coffee flavor, and a tender and readily chewable consistency.

The effect of modified heat moisture treatment with microwave on physicochemical characteristics of sago starch

Introduction: This study aimed to characterize the physicochemical properties of forage sago starch using a microwave with different moisture content, namely 20%, 25%, and 30%. Method: A randomized non-factorial design was used with four treatment levels, namely native starch, HMTMW20, HMTMW25, and HMTMW30. Furthermore, the analyzed parameters were moisture and ash content, water and oil absorption, swelling power, and solubility. Result: The results showed that moisture content of forages (9.35-12.20%) was lower than native starch (13.08%), ash content of sago starch forages (0.15-0.23%) was lower than native sago starch (0.30%), water absorption of HMTMW sago starch (216.19-317.47%) was higher than native sago starch (222.07%). Furthermore, the absorption of HMTMW sago starch oil (189.73-208.40%) was higher than native starch (176.53%), swelling power value of HMTMW sago starch (23.33-31.90%) was relatively lower than native sago starch (33.07%), solubility of HMTMW sago starch (12, 38-18.47%) was relatively lower than native sago starch (21.00%). Conclusion: HMTMW with different initial moisture content (20, 25, and 30%) using 40% power for 15 minutes caused changes in the physicochemical properties of sago starch. In addition, higher concentrations of the initial treatment caused an increase in moisture content and water and oil absorption, while ash content, swelling power, and solubility decreased.

Comparison of crude oil price transmission to food commodities for biofuel source and non-biofuel source

Introduction: World crude oil prices are linked to food commodity prices as input costs for the production distribution and development of biofuels. The relationship between increasing crude oil prices and food prices is in one way; i.e. an increase in world crude oil prices will trigger an increase in food prices and not the other way around. This study aimed to analyze and compare price transmission and integration of cross-commodity prices between the price of crude oil and the price of corn (raw material for biofuels) and the price of rice (non biofuels raw material). Methods: This study used the VARX (Vector Autoregression with Exogenous variables) method with corn prices and rice prices as the endogenous variables, while crude oil prices as exogenous variables. Results: Price transmission and integration of cross-commodity prices occur in crude oil to corn commodities. In contrast, there was no price transmission and price integration between crude oil and rice. Commodities that are directly related to the development of biofuels experience a more significant impact on price changes. Conclusion: Energy commodity prices are connected to food commodity prices, particularly corn. Therefore, if crude oil price rises, so does the corn. Highly dependent corn-importing countries have to be aware. Measures engendering food security are key to any country, particularly promoting domestic production and improving food storage and distribution systems to reduce the risk of food price spikes. The policy implications emerging from the one-directional causality between oil and food prices would typically depend on the specific nature of the two markets and the goals of policy intervention.
