Obesity has become a global health issue and is one of the factors that trigger degenerative diseases. The correct food consumption management could be a solution for treating obesity. Soybean is a food that is rich in bioactive components and has antiobesity properties through various mechanisms. In Indonesia, nearly 60% of the soybeans are consumed in the form of tempe. The process of fermenting soybeans into tempe causes a bioconversion of nutrients and bioactive components, improving the active physiological abilities. The bioactive components that play a role in the treatment of obesity are isoflavones, proteins, and peptides. These bioactive components help in reducing body weight, lowering the body fat ratio and improve lipid profile. Thus, optimation and popularization of tempe as a functional food in the daily menu supported with correct tempe processing could be a solution in treating obesity.
In this article, focus on the simulation of a three-phase perishable product inventory system of a SMEs selling fresh and processed milkfish. This research was conducted to simulate a perishable product inventory system to understand and analyze the problems that occur then propose solutions to fix them. The simulation model was developed with ARENA software, simulation results of the existing condition show that there is 162 kg/month waste in fresh fish, 158 pcs/month in processed product A, and 86 pcs/month in processed product B. A model with a product renewal process mechanism was proposed to overcome this problem, and seven improvement scenarios were developed. The results obtained from the seventh improvement scenario revealed that there was a 100% reduction in fresh fish and processed product B and 94% in processed product A. Besides, there was a saving in need for fresh fish supply of 10 kg/day. In this article, we show how ARENA software can be adopted to simulate inventory system problems effectively. The method in this research can be applied to investigate various supply system scenarios and their consequences before implementing it in a real system.
Indonesia dikenal akan kearifan lokal dengan potensi pangan fungsional berupa minuman-minuman tradisional.Produk minuman tradisional dibuat dari ekstraksi bahan alami seperti rimpang jahe dan temulawak, daun tanaman kumis kucing, serta kayu secang.Kemampuan bioaktif minuman salah satunya dipengaruhi oleh efektivitas ekstraksi komponen fitokimia dari bahan-bahan minuman.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendapatkan proses ekstraksi yang optimal dari bahan-bahan minuman tradisional Indonesia, yaitu kumis kucing, secang, jahe dan temulawak. Optimasi waktu ekstraksi daun tanaman kumis kucing dan kayu secang dikembangkan menggunakan Response Surface Methodology dengan software Design Expert 7,0. Proses ekstraksi optimum dari daun tanaman kumis kucing dan kayu secang didapatkan selama 30 menit pemanasan dalam air dengan perbandingan bahan dan air 1:25. Persamaan matematika dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi total fenol dan aktivitas antioksidan ekstrak. Peningkatan skala menyebabkan penurunan aktivitas antioksidan dan total fenol pada ekstrak daun tanaman kumis kucing dan kayu secang. Pada skala pilot plant nilai aktivitas antioksidan 2508,9 ppm AEAC dan total fenol 926,6 ppm GAE untuk ekstrak kumis kucing dan nilai aktivitas antioksidan 1601,7 ppm AEAC dan total fenol 1319,9 ppm GAE untuk ekstrak kayu secang. Efisiensi dan efektivitas proses ekstraksi jahe diperoleh melalui pemblansiran dengan direndam air panas (90-95oC) selama 3 menit, sedangkan temulawak tidak perlu dilakukan pemblansiran. Ekstraksi jahe dengan cara tersebut mampu memberikan total fenol 2294,6 ppm GAE dan rendemen 61,1%. Prosedur ekstraksi optimum pada temulawak memberikan total fenol ekstrak 5621,8 ppm GAE dan rendemen 46,9%. Ekstrak optimum yang didapatkan dapat digunakan untuk formulasi minuman fungsional dengan berbagai manfaat bagi kesehatan
As an important sector in the Indonesian economy, the low capital problems in agriculture should be solved. Crowdfunding is one of the solutions gaining modal from society. This agricultural investment could be an attractive personal asset, too. But, no information yet about the complete characteristics of agricultural projects that fetching the people's participation to invest. Hence, the aim of this research is to find out the factors that influence people's participation in agricultural business investment with crowdfunding schemes. The quantitative data collected from 468 agricultural projects held by agricultural business startup PT. XYZ was analyzed. The six characteristics of the project are role as independents factors. They were project types (loans and profit sharing), project fields (agriculture, livestock, and fisheries), project risk (low, moderate, and high), project duration, the amount of capital needed and profit assumption. All the factors have been analyzed by a multiple regression model to estimate the number of investors. The results showed that the number of crowdfunding agriculture-based projects investor can be modeled by dummy regression. The longer project duration will decrease the number of investors by 0.577 people. The higher risk of the project will lower the number of investors. Based on the projects field, the most interesting projects are the livestock project, followed by agriculture and the last is the fisheries project. Overall, the project period, project risk and project field are the factors that influence people's participation in agricultural business investment with crowdfunding schemes. In the future, crowdfunding livestock projects with a short implementation period (around 3 months), and low risk can be sought so that more people participate in becoming investors.
Manukan adalah salah satu desa di Kabupaten Bojonegoro yang terletak di Kecamatan Gayam, Bojonegoro, Jawa Timur. Minimnya penghasilan keluarga dari profesi petani menuntut masyarakat untuk lebih kreatif dalam meningkatkan pendapatan keluarga. Bojonegoro memiliki potensi batik Jonegoroan yang menarik dan banyak diminati. Namun, tidak banyak masyarakat Bojonegoro yang memiliki pengetahuan dan ketrampilan membatik. Sehingga, perlu dilakukan pemberdayaan Ibu-ibu dalam mengembangkan industri kreatif Batik Jonegoroan. Pemberdayaan ini dilakukan melalui empat tahapan, yaitu sosialisasi Batik Jonegoroan, pelatihan cara membatik, pelatihan pengembangan industri kreatif batik dan pemasaran hasil batik. Dalam pelatihan ini, peserta dilatih untuk memahami dan mempraktikkan proses membatik dengan empat teknis pewarnaan dan perbedaan antara batik cap dan batik tulis. Teknis pewarnaan yang dipelajari meliputi teknik coletan, semok, kelengan dan laseman. Hasil pelatihan berupa kain batik Jonegoroan dipamerkan dan dijual secara online di marketplace dan media sosial, sedangkan secara offline di bazar dan pameran batik. Pengetahuan dan ketrampilan ini dapat dijadikan bekal untuk membuka peluang usaha pengrajin batik oleh ibu-ibu desa Manukan sebagai salah satu upaya meningkatkan pendapatan keluarga.
