Coconut shell liquid smoke is produced from a chemical pyrolysis process that involved smoke bearing water vapor from burning coconut shells in very high temperature. Materials used in this study were coconut shell liquid smoke with three different grades. Visually, grade 1 liquid smoke was clear. Grade 2 liquid smoke was reddish in color and not as clear as grade 1, while grade 3 was dark brown. This difference may indicate that each grade had different chemical compositions. The aim of this study was to identify the chemical compounds of the three different grades of coconut shell liquid smoke using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS). Extraction was carried out using Head Space Solid Phase Micro Extraction (HS-SPME). Result showed that the coconut shell liquid smoke contains high content of polyphenol. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) including benzo(a)pyrene were also found. The findings of this study may be useful as basis in the determination of the application of the different grades of coconut shell liquid smoke.
In aggregate, Indonesia’s national food reserves (rice) in early 2021 are adequate, as indicated by the stock to use ratio (SUR) reaching 25.16% above the FAO recommendation of 17‒18%, with the end of 2020 rice stock reaching 7.9 million tons from 29.3 million tons rice consumption needs. As mandated by Food Law 18/2012, Indonesia has established a multi-layered mechanism of national food reserves, consist of a central government food reserve, regional government food reserves (provincial, district/city, and village level), and community food reserves. This paper aims to examine the various implementation of Indonesia’s national rice reserves along with synergy recommendations to strengthen government, regional governments, and community’s food reserves. The approach used is descriptive qualitative analysis, by exploring information and secondary data across institutions with national and regional coverage. The results of the study show: (1) the need for an increase in Central Government Rice Reserves (CGRR) in the range of 1.5‒2 million tons accompanied by strengthening the mechanism to absorb farmers production of unhulled rice/rice to stabilize rice prices especially at the peak harvest time; (2) strengthening the intensity of advocacy and coordination amongst key-stakeholders in provincial and district/city to optimize the implementation of government food reserves area; and (3) strengthening and developing village-based community food barns through cooperation with the Strategic Command for Rice Mill Development (Kostraling) and Village Owned Enterprise (BUM Desa and BUM Desma).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
