THE EFFECT OF THE AMOUNT OF SODIUM METOXIDE CATALYST AND HEATING TIME ON THE QUALITY OF SHORTENING PRODUCTS IN THE INTERESTERIFICATION PROCESS
Shortening is a solid plastic fat product that is widely used as a raw material in the production of food products such as biscuits, cakes, bread, and pastries. PT X produces shortening from the interesterification reaction of Refined, Bleached and Deodorized Palm Oil. (RBDPO). In the shortening production process using the interesterification method, it will be influenced by the amount of catalyst added and the heating time. The objective of this research is to analyze the effect of the amount of sodium methoxide catalyst and heating time on the interesterification process of RBDPO on the quality of shortening products. By considering the parameters of Solid Fat Content (SFC) and Slip Melting Point (SMP), an optimal method can be developed to improve the quality and stability of the shortening product. The variations of sodium methoxide catalyst used are concentrations of 0.050%; 0.100%; 0.125%; 0.25%; 0.375%; 0.500%, while the variations in heating time are 50 minutes, 40 minutes, and 30 minutes. The results of the research conducted show that the interesterification process of RBDPO into a shortening product with very good quality is achieved by using sodium methoxide catalyst with a concentration of 0.250% and a heating time of 40 minutes, in accordance with the standards set by PT X for Solid Fat Content (SFC) and Slip Melting Point.

EFFECT OF RICE BRAN SOURDOUGH ON THE QUALITY OF RICE BRAN LOAF BREAD
Sourdough is a fermented mixture of water and flour. Sourdough can be used in making bread with good nutritional content. Instant yeast which is usually used for making bread has adverse effect on health if consumed directly compared to using natural yeast. However, currently sourdough is being developed as a bread developer. This research aims to analyze the effect of the concentration of natural yeast on the physical and chemical characteristics, the shelf life and sensory properties of rice bran bread. The method of this research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with control variables of instant yeast and sourdough concentration of 10%; 20%; 30%; and 40% of the total weight of flour. The tests carried out include the physical quality of the bread, organoleptic tests and proximate content tests. Based on the results of the ANOVA test for texture and color, the same results were obtained so that the best results were determined based on the organoleptic testing, which is rice bran bread with 30% sourdough concentration. Based on proximate analysis, it shows that sourdough rice bran bread has a lower total energy content (195.51 kcal/100g), fat content (3.36%), NaCl content (1.49%), carbohydrate content (26.98%) and reducing sugar (5.39%) also has higher protein content (14.34%) than ricebran bread that uses instant yeast. Sourdough rice bran bread has a longer shelf life compared to rice bran bread using instant yeast.

GROWTH AND PRODUCTION OF SHALLOT (Allium ascalonicum L.) WITH GUANO ORGANIC FERTILIZER AND TRICHODERMA SP APPLICATION
Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is an important horticultural commodity with high economic value, but its productivity has declined, especially in several production centers, including Probolinggo Regency. Disease attacks are one of the factors causing the decline in production, prompting farmers to use chemicals to control the disease. The use of chemical fungicides frequently poses risks to the environment and food safety, thereby highlighting the need for eco-friendly alternatives such as biological agents (e.g., Trichoderma sp.) and organic fertilizers like guano. This study aimed to determine the effect of Trichoderma sp. and guano fertilizer on the growth and yield of shallots. The study used a Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with the first factor being the dose of Trichoderma sp 0 (T1), 15 (T2), 25 (T3), 35 (T4) g/plant, and the second factor was guano fertilizer treatment at doses of 0 (G1), 35 (G2), 45 (G3), and 55 (G4) g/plant. The results showed that there was no interaction between Trichoderma sp. and guano fertilizer treatments on the growth and yield of shallots. However, both separately had a significant effect on several growth and yield parameters. Guano fertilizer had a significant effect on crown height, stem diameter, fresh and dry bulb weight, and root volume with an optimum dose of 45 g/plant. Meanwhile, the application of Trichoderma sp. had a significant effect on bulb diameter. The combination of biological agents and organic fertilizers demonstrated significant potential to enhance shallot productivity in a sustainable and environmentally responsible way.
