Optimizing the Potential of Breadfruit as a Local Food Ingredient in Realizing National Food Security

Noer Aza Fauziana — 2025-04-02

Indonesia relies heavily on rice as its main food source, but local production is insufficient, resulting in increased rice imports. Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) has the potential to be an alternative sustainable food source because it can grow on various types of land and can be harvested twice a year. Breadfruit has a high nutritional content, is lower in calories than rice, and is rich in minerals and vitamins. In addition, breadfruit has health benefits such as antibacterial, antifungal, and antitumor properties. However, breadfruit faces major challenges such as its short shelf life and the public's view that it is an inferior food. Breadfruit processing technology into flour can overcome these obstacles by extending the shelf life and opening up opportunities for diversifying the use of breadfruit in various food products. This article examines the potential of breadfruit as a local food ingredient to improve national food security, encourage innovation in the food industry, and provide information on the nutritional and health benefits of breadfruit. By optimizing the use of breadfruit, it is hoped that sustainable food sovereignty can be created in Indonesia.

Tempeh is a traditional food made from fermented soybeans with the help of Rhizopus sp., which is rich in protein. Tempeh packaging refers to the material used to wrap and protect tempeh, ensuring that its quality and safety are maintained. This study aims to determine the effect of different types of tempeh packaging on pH levels, total acid content, and tempeh protein. The study involved six treatments: plastic packaging, young banana leaf packaging, old banana leaf packaging, turmeric leaf packaging, teak leaf packaging, and taro leaf packaging. The results indicate that tempeh in plastic packaging had the lowest pH of 7.2, while the highest total acid content was found in tempeh packaged with old banana leaves (0.42). In protein testing, tempeh packaged with teak leaves, taro leaves, and young banana leaves produced a bright purple color, while tempeh in old banana leaf and turmeric leaf packaging produced a pale purple color. Tempeh in plastic packaging showed a purplish-blue color.

Substrates and Time Variations in Tapai Fermentation: A Narrative Review

Angga Prasetyo — 2025-04-11

Tapai is a fermented food product made from various substrates, such as cassava, glutinous rice, taro, corn, banana, and purple sweet potato. This study uses a narrative review method by providing a non-systematic summary and analyzing a specific topic. The topic analyzed is research findings related to the ingredients that have been processed into tapai products and the effect of fermentation time on tapai. The fermentation process of tapai involves bacteria and yeast, which both play a role in converting carbohydrates in the substrate into simple sugars, alcohol, and organic acids. This fermentation process increases the content of bioactive compounds, such as phenolic compounds and flavonoids, which have health benefits, including enhancing the immune system and antioxidant activity. Fermentation time affects the sensory quality and nutritional content of tapai. Based on this narrative review, the optimal fermentation of tapai occurs within a time range of 48 to 72 hours, where significant changes occur in taste, aroma, texture, and nutritional content, such as a reduction in fat content and an increase in protein content. Different tapai substrates produce distinct microorganisms and chemical compounds, which contribute to the variation in product quality.

Potential of Thymoquinone, Thymol, and Carvacrol from Black Seed (Nigella sativa) as Natural Antibacterial Agents in Food Safety: In Silico Analysis against Escherichia coli and Salmonella

Nadiyah Zuhroh — 2025-04-21

This study aims to evaluate the potential of active compounds from black seed (Nigella sativa), namely thymoquinone, thymol, and carvacrol, as natural antibacterial agents in food safety against pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi. The molecular docking method was used to analyze the interactions between these compounds and bacterial target proteins, namely GyraseB in E. coli and LsrB in S. typhi. The results showed that all three compounds were able to bind to the target proteins through hydrogen, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions. Carvacrol exhibited the strongest binding energy (-177.5 Kcal/mol) against E. coli, while thymoquinone showed the strongest binding energy (-186.0 Kcal/mol) against S. typhi. Furthermore, this study revealed the potential of these ligands to inhibit resistant Salmonella typhi, suggesting their possible use in addressing bacterial resistance issues in food contamination. These findings still require further in vitro and in vivo investigation. This research provides important insights for the development of natural antibacterial agents in the food industry, particularly in preventing contamination by pathogenic bacteria and enhancing food safety

Analysis of the Effect of Plastic Packaging on Storage Duration of Fresh Vegetables after Ozonization: Study of Physical Parameters, Water Vapour Transmission Rate (WVTR), and Water Vapour Permeability (WVP)

Lulus Mualimin — 2025-04-21

Fresh vegetable commodities contribute significantly to food security and the national economy, but these products are easily damaged. Ozonation treatment and vacuum packaging are carried out to maintain product quality, reduce post-harvest losses, ensure food safety and extend the shelf life of vegetables. Choosing the right type of packaging is a challenge. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of plastic packaging type on the storage time of fresh vegetables after ozonation based on physical parameters, water vapour transmission rate (WVTR), and water vapour permeability (WVP). The method used in this research is Randomized Group Design (RAK) with 3 treatments and 3 replicates and physical analysis using the scoring test method. The results of this study show that HDPE vacuum packaging has a better ability to withstand water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and water vapor permeability (WVP) in all types of vegetables, as well as in physical testing including color, texture and appearance carried out based on scoring tests with an average value of 3, HDPE packaging has the best stability in preventing product quality deterioration to extend shelf life when compared to PP and LDPE packaging. These results are expected to be a recommendation for the type of packaging that is suitable in packaging fresh vegetable products to maintain product stability.

Putri Satika Dewi — 2025-04-21

Pudding is a dessert characterized by its chewy, soft, and easy-to-chew texture. The texture and stability of pudding are highly influenced by the use of hydrocolloids, such as konjac glucomannan and carrageenan. This study aims to determine the optimal concentration of konjac glucomannan and carrageenan to achieve the best sensory characteristics and stability. The research method used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with konjac glucomannan concentrations of 1%, 1.5%, and 2%, and carrageenan concentrations of 0.5% and 1%. All treatments were subjected to sensory evaluation using the hedonic method for texture, color, taste, and overall preference, as well as stability testing through syneresis analysis, followed by statistical analysis using Minitab 20. The results showed that the treatment with the lowest syneresis was S2K3 (2% konjac glucomannan and 1% carrageenan), with syneresis values of 7.76% at 24 hours, 13.34% at 48 hours, and 17.62% at 72 hours. However, the sensory evaluation indicated that the S2K2 treatment was the most preferred by panelists across all parameters, with preference scores of 4.2 for texture, 4.0 for color, 4.0 for taste, and 4.4 overall. This study is expected to provide valuable insights for the development of high-quality chocolate pudding products.
