Abstract: Abundant banana stem waste is often wasted and becomes an environmental problem. In fact, research results show that banana stems are rich in benefits, one of which is the potential as an anti-obesity agent. Seeing this potential, the community service team tried to process banana stem waste into nutritious and economically valuable food products. This community service activity focused on assisting PKK Metuk mothers in processing banana stems into innovative food products. With intensive training and assistance, it is hoped that PKK mothers can produce value-added food products from banana stem waste. In addition to providing health benefits to the community, this activity is also expected to improve the community's economy through the development of small and medium enterprises based on local resources. The results of this community service activity show that the processing of banana stem waste into food products can be successful. PKK mothers succeeded in producing food products that are not only beneficial for health, but also have good market potential. This success proves that banana stem waste can be a valuable resource if managed properly. Keywords: Musa paradisiaca, economy, health

Low-carbon high-strength engineered geopolymer composites (HS-EGC) with full-volume fly ash precursor: Role of silica modulus

In this study, the influence of the silica modulus of alkaline activators on the overall performances of pure fly ash (FA)-based High-Strength Engineered/Strain-Hardening Geopolymer Composites (HS-EGC/SHGC) was comprehensively studied. The developed HS-EGC successfully presented simultaneous high compressive strength (over 90 MPa) and high tensile ductility (over 6.0 %) for the first time. Tensile strain-hardening and over-saturated cracking phenomena were observed for all the HS-EGC mixes. It was found that the increase of the silica modulus from 1.0 to 2.0 reduced the tensile strength and strain energy density of HS-EGC, but the most distinguished overall mechanical index was achieved in the mix with the silica modulus of 1.5. Additionally, the underlying mechanism behind the mechanical performances was explored by Back Scattering Electron and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (BSE-EDS) tests. According to the data comparison from literature review, the good sustainability and market potential of the developed material were successfully demonstrated, and the developed HS-EGC pushed the performance envelope of pure FA-based EGC materials. The findings could help promote the future development and practical applications of this strain-hardening geopolymer material with both good sustainability and high mechanical performances.

A formaldehyde-free amino resin alternative to urea-formaldehyde adhesives: A bio-based oxidized glucose – urea resin

Urea-formaldehyde resins (UF) are the most commonly used wood-based panels adhesive in industry. These adhesives are more than 80 % by volume of the wood adhesives market. However, due to formaldehyde toxicicity and extreme volatility UF resins yield panels with formaldehyde emission problem both during wood panels preparation and their in-service use. In order to address this problem, to find an environment friendly replacement for formaldehyde to manufacture novel and safe aminoresins is essential research for wood adhesives. In this article, a bio-based amino resin wood adhesive (OGU) is developed by using oxidized glucose reacted with urea. The research work presented here tests the impact on the adhesive properties of a number of oxidation treatment parameters and of the glucose to urea molar ratio. The molecular structure and thermal properties of the OGU adhesive were studied by different analytical techniques. The results indicate that the bioaldehydes are obtained by glucose under mild oxidation conditions. The bioaldehydes obtained can then be reacted with urea to form a novel oxidized glucose-urea amino resin, suitable to manufacture plywood. Under the specified process conditions at pH 4 and at a urea-to-glucose molar ratio of 1, the OGU adhesive yielded plywood with a dry strength of 0.99 MPa, 24 h cold water soaking wet strength of 0.77 MPa, and 3 h hot water (63°C) soaking wet strength of 0.76 MPa. These results satisfy the requirements of the GB/T 9846–2015 standard. The OGU resin adhesive prepared has then a good market potential to replace the current UF resins used in the industrial production of wood-based panels and as a novel biomass amino resin adhesive.

Volatile fingerprinting, sensory characterization, and consumer acceptance of pure and blended arabica coffee leaf teas

Coffee leaves contain several bioactive compounds and have been traditionally consumed as a medicinal infusion in the East for centuries. Coffee production generates large amounts of leaves as by-products, which are often wasted in most producing countries because of the low acceptability in the West. Nevertheless, processing and blending coffee leaves may increase aroma and flavor complexity. This study evaluated the volatile and sensory profiles and consumer acceptance of coffee leaf teas compared to two among the most consumed teas (black and maté teas) in Rio de Janeiro. Infusions were made with one experimental and one commercial coffee leaf tea (CLT), two black teas (BT), and one toasted maté tea (TMT) for volatile (GC–MS/MS) and sensory profiles. As an attempt to improve coffee leaf tea acceptance, CLT were also blended (50%) with BT or TMT. Acceptance, Check All That Apply (CATA), and Projective Mapping sensory tests were performed with untrained assessors aged 18–49 (n = 100). Volatile data were standardized by centering and normalization. Sensory data were treated by ANOVA/Fisher test, PCA, and AHCMFA, considering differences at p < 0.05. Ninety-two volatile compounds distributed in 12 classes were identified in different samples. CLT, BT, and TMT infusions shared 19 compounds, including 9 potential impact compounds for aroma and flavor: α-ionone, β-ionone, hexanal, nonanal, decanal, benzaldehyde, trans-linalool oxide, linalool, and dihydroactinidiolide. The most cited flavor attributes for CLT infusions were herbs/green leaf, woody and refreshing. For TMT and BT, herbs/green leaf, woody, burnt, and fermented were the most cited. These attributes agreed with the volatile profiles. CLT shared 22 compounds with TMT and 28 with BT. Considering pure infusions, TMT presented the highest mean acceptance scores (6.7), followed by Com. and Exp. CLT (6.1 and 5.8, on a 9-point-hedonic scale, respectively). Blending with TMT increased mean acceptance of Exp. CLT (6.4), while blending with BT, downgraded the mean acceptance of Com. CLT (5.3). In Projective Mapping, CLT was considered to have a higher sensory resemblance with TMT than BT. If produced adequately, CLT was shown to have good market potential to support sustainable coffee production and promote health.

Revalorization of Melon By-Product to Obtain a Novel Sparkling Fruity-Based Wine.

Fresh melons not meeting cosmetic standards were revaluated into sparkling melon-based wine. Firstly, still melon wine was elaborated and bottled into 750 mL bottles, closed with a crown seal, and stored for 10-weeks at 14 °C. The oenological parameters and polar compounds in must, still wine, and during the sparkling process were evaluated during the experiment. The volatile profile was qualified by GC-MS, and the odor activity value (OAV) and relative odor contribution (ROC) were measured for aroma characterization. Results show that sparkling wine resulted in 12% v/v ethanol. Certain amino acids contributed to the transformation and increase of volatile compounds via Ehrlich's pathway: leucine to isoamyl alcohol; valine to iso-butyl alcohol; and phenylalanine to phenethyl alcohol. The volatile compounds also increased after the first fermentation, principally in acetate and ethyl esters, and higher alcohols. Isoamyl acetate, ethyl decanoate, 3,6-nonadienyl acetate, and (E,Z)-nonadien-1-ol had the highest OAV and ROC values among the volatiles; this contributed to the sweet, fruity, banana, tropical, nutty and melon aroma in this sparkling wine. Sensory evaluation (100 to 40) was evaluated according to International Organisation of Vine and Wine compendium, the final product (10-week) scored 92 points, with great visual, nose, and taste values. This study demonstrates how by-products revalorization can provide new products such as this novel sparkling wine with a characteristic and distinctive aroma, good sensory acceptance and market potential.

Grain yield, physical and pasting properties, and anthocyanins of non-conventional pigmented corn hybrids for pozole end-use adapted to subtropical regions

The use of pigmented corn hybrids for specialty food uses, such as pozole-making, has increased significantly lately. This work aimed to evaluate 25 non-conventional (native landraces x endogamic lines) corn hybrids (NCH) for yield, precocity, grain physical and pasting properties as well as anthocyanins content to identify genotypes with good market potential for pozole end-use. Genotypes were grown at two locations (Celaya and Tarímbaro). Differences in grain yield and physical characteristics between locations were due to a moisture deficit presented in Tarímbaro. NCH had a higher yield and earlier maturity compared with their native progenitors. The best NCH (‘3 × 18′) suitable for pozole end-use was characterized by a grain yield of 8.8 Mg ha−1, lower density (70.7 kg hL−1), and larger grains (100-grain weight = 50.3 g), softer grains (flotation index=94.2) and peak viscosity higher than 3600 mPa.s. NCH had lower anthocyanins content compared with their native progenitors. Results indicated that it was feasible to develop high-yielding NCH with acceptable agronomic performance and adequate grain physical properties for pozole end-use.

The Urgency of Regulation of Electric Bikes in Gorontalo City in a Progressive Legal Perspective

Genetic diversity and population structure assessment using molecular markers and SPAR approach in Illicium griffithii, a medicinally important endangered species of Northeast India

BackgroundIllicium griffithii is an aromatic medicinal tree species that has been listed in the IUCN Red List as an endangered species. Dried seed pods of I. griffithii have a good market potential in the spices and pharmaceutical industries. Fruits are the potential source of shikimic acid and used for the production of oseltamivir (a drug against bird flu). However, in recent years, unscientific harvesting and rampant exploitation of the species has caused a negative and adverse effect on its natural population. Proper knowledge of genetic diversity and population structure is crucial to understand the population dynamics, adaptation, and evolutionary pattern of a particular species for conservation. It was from this view point that the present study was undertaken so as to compare the various types of DNA-based molecular markers namely RAPD, ISSR, DAMD, and SCoT by their efficiency and SPAR approach to evaluate the genetic diversity of I. griffithii as well as to analyze population genetic structure for conservation purpose. ResultA total of 250 discernible bands were generated with 246 bands (98.40 %) being polymorphic in nature. All the primers in combination gave a mean polymorphic information content (PIC) of 0.81 and Rp value (resolving power) of 4.32. Nei’s, Gst, and AMOVA analysis showed similar values of genetic differentiation among populations (Gst = 0.396, FST = 0.30, respectively), revealing a low level of genetic differentiation among the eight sampled populations. I. griffithii with an estimated gene flow value of Nm = 0.761 was significantly low among populations. Clustering pattern obtained with Bayesian structure and PCoA diagram revealed that intermixing of genetic material across populations is only possible when the populations lie close to each other. This is further validated with UPGMA clustering method where a positive correlation of genetic variability with geographical distance among closely related populations could be clearly seen. ConclusionThe result aids in the identification, collection, and preservation of diverse germplasm of I. griffithii from Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya of Northeast India. This would further help in understanding the population structure and genetic diversity among other Illicium species in order to formulate effective conservation strategies for the improvement of this endangered taxa.
