This study aimed to determine the effect of breadfruit flour and pumpkin flour composition on the characteristics of brownies, and to get the best composition which resulting in the best characteristic of the brownies. The experiment was designed as a completely randomized design with breadfruit flour and pumpkin flour composition used as the treatments, those consisting of 5 treatment levels, namely: P0 (100%: 0%), P1 (90%: 10%), P2 (80%: 20%), P3 (70%: 30%), and P4 (60%: 40%). Each treatment was repeated 3 times to obtain 15 experimental units. The data were analyzed by using analysisof variance and for the treatment showed significant effect, it continues analized by using Duncan Multiple Range Test. Theresults showed that ratio of breadfruit flour and pumpkin had a significant effect (P<0,05) on ash content, protein content,fat content, crude fiber content, beta carotene content, aroma, taste, texture, color, and overall acceptability, however it did not affect the moisture content. The ration of breadfruit flour (60%) and pumpkin flour (40%) produced the best characteristics of brownies with water content of 24.42%, ash content of 2.28%, protein content of 9.54%, fat content of 21.09%, carbohydrate content of 42.29%, crude fiber content of 4.06%, beta carotene content of 6.27 mg/100g. Thesensory characteristics were hedonic color of color 0f 4.35, aroma of 4.70, texture of 4.50, and taste of 4.75. Scoring color of 2.80, aroma of 2.90, texture of 2.85, and taste 0f 2.90.

The fermentation stage is considered to be one of the critical steps in coffee processing due to its impact on the final quality of the product. The aim of this study was to determined the effect of Lactobacillus fermentum CK165 addition and fermentation time on the physical characteristics of Arabica coffee Kintamani, Bangli, and knowing the right treatment to produce Arabica coffee with the best physical characteristics. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with treatment using Lactobacillus fermentum CK165 addition and duration of fermentation consisting of 0 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 36 hours. Each treatment was repeated 2 times to obtain 16 experimental units. The physical characteristics of Arabica coffee were analyzed statistically by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with Duncan multiple range test (DMRT), if there was an affect between treatments. The result showed that Lactobacillus fermentum CK165 addition and fermentation time significantly affected the bulk density, moisture content, bean number/10 g, weight of 100 beans, bean wide, and color (L* and b*). Lactobacillus fermentum CK165 addition and fermentation for 24 hours resulted Arabica coffee with the best physical characteristics with bulk density 0.637 g/ml, moisture content 8.507%, bean number/10 g 51.500 beans, weight of 100 beans 19.873 g, long 10.570 mm, wide 7.401 mm, thick 4.305 mm, L* 36.588, a* 1,670, b* 11.045, broken beans 0.533 bean number/100 g, brown beans 0.102 bean number/100 g, and partly black beans 1.766 bean number/100 g.

The purpose of this study was to determine the concentrations of polycaprolactone (PCL) and anhydride maleic acid (AMA) to produce a biothermoplastic composite (BtC) of modified cassava starch–glucomannan–polyvinyl alcohol (MSGPvA) that meets the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) and International Bioplastic Standards such as ISO 527/1B, PCL from the UK, and ASTM 5336 for PLA plastic from Japan. This study measured the tensile strength ratio and Young's modulus of MSGPvA BtC compared to commercial biothermoplastic (CBt), elongation at break, swelling, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and biodegradation time. In addition, the surface profile, functional group, crystallinity, and thermal stability were also observed, which were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. MSGPvA BtC with 20% PCL and 3.5% AMA was able to increase and improve tensile strength, elongation at break, Young's modulus, swelling, WVTR, and degradation time. MSGPvA BtC with 5% PCL and 0.5% AMA has a transverse surface profile that shows the presence of clear and wavy fibers and an elongated surface profile with indistinct waves, containing the OH functional group at wavenumbers 2,962.66 and 3,448.72 cm−1 and C=O at a wavenumber of 1,735.93 cm−1, and has a low crystallinity degree but relatively high thermal stability. All MSGPvA BtC characteristics with 5% PCL and 0.5% AMA have met the SNI and International Bioplastic Standards (ISO 527/1B, PCL from England, ASTM 5336 for PLA plastic from Japan), except for swelling characteristics. Thus, MSGPvA BtC with 5% PCL and 0.5% AMA has the potential to be used as food packaging material.

This research was to determine the effect of skim milk concentration on the characteristics of fermented sweet corn milk probiotic drink with Lactobacillus rhamnosus SKG34, and to identify the right skim milk concentration that produced fermented sweet corn milk probiotic drink with the best characteristics. This research method used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with skim milk concentration as a treatment that consisted of 6 levels (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and 15%). Each treatment was repeated 3 times resulting in 18 experimental units. The data were analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method and if the treatment had a significant effect, then continued with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that skim milk concentration had a significant effect in total LAB, total sugar, total acidity, pH, and sensory profile. The addition of 9% skim milk concentration produced the best characteristics of fermented sweet corn milk probiotic drink, with the following criteria: 14,60 Log CFU/ml or 7,64 x 1014 CFU/ml of total lactic acid bacteria, 0,63% of total acid, 11,92% of total sugar, 4,42 of pH, with sensory characteristics produced which are white and slightly yellow of colour and liked, aroma was rather liked, texture was thick and liked, taste was sour and liked, and overall acceptance was liked.
