Identification of lactic acid bacteria isolated from developed dried coffee starter culture used as a fermentation agent to produce Robusta civet coffee

Abstract. Fauzi M, Subagio A, Restanto DP, Jayus J. 2023. Identification of lactic acid bacteria isolated from developed dried coffee starter culture used as a fermentation agent to produce Robusta civet coffee. Biodiversitas 24: 3715-3722. Native civet coffee is a popular coffee bean, produced by the processes which undergo spontaneous fermentation in the civet digestive system. Since the native civet coffee has a higher selling value and its production depends on the uncontrolled civet life activities, the effort to produce a similar quality of this coffee product has been made by designing a dried starter culture isolated from civet caecum, and utilizing coffee cherry peels as the potential inducer and rice flour as the matrix for coating and immobilizing the isolates. The proportion of rice and coffee cherry peel flour mixtures was formulated to fabricate the dried starter culture by determining the viability and fermentability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) survive in the starter culture. Furthermore, the starter culture was analyzed for the number of microflora and identification of LAB, water content, glucose fermentability, total titrated acid production rate, and pH value. The most viable starter cultures were obtained from the formula of 80% rice flour and 20% coffee cherry peel flour exhibiting the number of microflora of 5.6 log MPN/g and fermentation capacity of 245.73 mg glucose/gh. The total titrated acid production rate was 91.07 mg lactic acid/gh, and a pH value of 5.33. The LABs survived in the starter culture were identified as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei. The quality of hot brewed roasted Robusta coffee prepared by fermentation using this dried starter culture was higher than that of unfermented one, as observed from their organoleptic quality. These findings indicate that the LAB isolated from civet caecum is potential to be developed as a dried starter culture in coffee cherry fermentation processes.

Rancang Bangun Rumah Pengering Kopi Hybrid Guna Meningkatkan Efektivitas Pengeringan Kopi Di Kecamatan Pinogu, Provinsi Gorontalo

Coffee has become the superior product of Pinogu District with a distinctive taste with natural processing which makes this coffee categorized as organic coffee so it has a high selling value. The problem is, the process of drying coffee in the sun is often constrained by the weather so that the product produced is less than optimal. Therefore, it is necessary to develop appropriate technology in the form of hybrid drying houses.

Mechanical property improvement of oil palm empty fruit bunch composites by hybridization using ramie fibers on epoxy–CNT matrices

Abstract Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFBs) can be transformed into composite boards with higher selling value when their cellulose is used as a fiber. Manufacturing composites with hybridization techniques can improve their properties. This study combined OPEFBs and ramie fibers in an epoxy–carbon nanotube (CNT) matrix. The proportion of OPEFBs and ramie fibers was varied (3:7, 5:5, and 7:3), with a total fiber content of 10% by volume and a matrix of 90% by volume. Alkali treatment using NaOH solution was applied to the fiber to remove impurities from the surface. CNTs were functionalized using nitric acid followed by hydrogen peroxide to improve compatibility. Surface treatment was conducted on fibers and CNTs to increase the bonds between these components in the composite material. The hybridization of OPEFBs/ramie fibers improved the tensile strength in the 3:7TR, 5:5TR, and 7:3TR composites by 127, 37, and 12%, respectively, compared to the 10T composite. The flexural strength of the 5:5TR hybrid composite increased by 120%, and that of the 3:7TR and 7:3TR composites increased by 83% against the 10R composite. The 3:7TR hybrid composite showed the best mechanical properties.

UTILIZATION OF LIME PEELS AND INCREASING THE VALUE OF LIME PRODUCTION IN BOLO VILLAGE, GRESIK USING NANOTECHNOLOGY

The people of Bolo Village, Ujung Pangkah District, Gresik Regency, choose to farm as a livelihood, both as farmers on their own land and on other people's land. Lime is a type of plant that is widely grown in the area. With a lime garden area of 450 hectares, lime farmers in this area can produce an average of 2-3 tons of lime per month per hectare. Lime from this sub-district has also reached local and international markets, such as Malaysia and Singapore. The community also develops or processes lime into processed products that have higher economic value, for example processed into processed beverage products in the form of liquids, extracts, instant powders, or processed into belt products, cosmetics and so on. On the other hand, technological developments that are rapidly developing can basically be used to increase the marketability of limes, such as processing lime peels into more useful products, not just lime contents. Nanotechnology can be used to produce lime peel powder with a nanometer size using a tool called a ball mill and grinder. The process of making lime peel nanopowder using a ball mill is very simple. This tool has also been developed a lot so the price is also cheap. For this reason, the community service activities is carried out to provide education to lime farmers in the Ujung Pangkah sub-district, Gresik to process lime peels into powder and make it possible to obtain nanopowder which has high selling value and or produces processed lime into other products. The expected output is lime peel processed products into powders of various sizes, one of which is nanometer with a lime peel powder maker, in this case a ball mill and grinder with simple operations and low prices. In simple terms, especially large powders can be used as additional ingredients for spices, even tea mixtures. This community service activity can support the 12th point of the Sustainable Development Goals in promoting zero waste, namely responsible consumption and production; as well as on point 8, namely decent work and economic growth in encouraging the formation of MSMEs to utilize processed orange peels to increase their economic value. Thus, we also believe that the community service would not only increase the lime home industry in Bolo village significantly, but also increase awareness of the community about the environmental sustainability.

Substitute half dose of macro fertilizers with liquid organic fertilizers on sweet corn plants (Zea mays saccharata) on Inceptisol Soil in Indonesia

Corn is a promising commodity economically for cultivation. Apart from not requiring a long harvest time, sweet corn has a high selling value, without a long post-harvest process. The location of research was conducted in rice fields in Tawangargo Village, Karangploso District, Malang Regency. Altitude ± 749 m above sea level. The implementation was carried out from December 2019 to July 2020. The research design was carried out using a Complete Randomized Block Design, with 2 factors. Factor 1, is the recommended fertilizer dosage of 3 doses (0, ½, and 1 dose), and the second factor is the dose of liquids fertilizer organic (0, 4, 8, and 12 g / l) with 4 repetitions, with intervals of 7-10 once a day. Giving 4 ml / l dose of inorganic fertilizer at an interval of once a week, together with 1 recommended dosage of Makro fertilizer affects the growth and yield of sweet corn plants. The highest production per ha in this treatment was 13,339 kg. The highest RAE value is 325.6% in the recommended 1 dose of NPK treatment plus 4 g / l of "liquids fertilizer organic". The economic approach is by calculating the R/C ratio, the treatment with the highest RAE is the R/C ratio of 8.59 with a net income of Rp. 176,785,041, -
