PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL, AND SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS OF INSTANT NOODLES WITH PURPLE SWEET POTATO FLOUR (IPOMOEA BATATAS L. POIR) SUBSTITUTION AT VARIOUS CONCENTRATIONS
No full textInstant noodles are generally made from wheat flour as raw material. The abunandce of purple sweet potatoes can substitute the wheat flour. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of substitution of purple sweet potato flour at various concentrations on the physical, chemical, and sensory test of instant noodles. The research was conducted at the Agro-Industry Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Tadulako University, from June to December 2019. The experiment was arranged using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 1 factor, namely the substitution of instant noodle purple sweet potato flour at a concentration of 0.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30%. The treatments were repeated three times so that 21 experimental units were obtained. For the sensory test using a randomized block design (RBD) with 30 panelists. The parameters of the observation consisted of the loss of solids due to cooking, water absorption, water content, ash content, and sensory tests. The results of research on substitution of purple sweet potato flour at various concentrations gave the best effect at a concentration of 30% on instant noodles produced based on physical, chemical, and sensory properties. With the highest loss of solids due to cooking, the absorption of instant noodles decreased as the concentration of purple sweet potato flour increased. Instant noodle moisture content constant tendency at each treatment. The ash content of instant noodles increased with increasing concentration of purple sweet potato flour and the sensory properties of color, texture, aroma, and taste of the instant noodles increased with the increasing concentration of purple sweet potato flour on the hedonic scale category. Noodles substituted with purple sweet potato flour can be consumed as instant noodles, such as those circulating in the market
INSTITUTIONAL MODEL OF COCOA PRODUCTION AND AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFSince the last 20 years, discussions about Indonesia\u27s position and role in the International cocoa trade have attracted the interest of experts and scientists, not only those in the field of agribusiness and economics, but also able to attract the interest of scientists in the institutional field. This study analyzes how the institutional role in the development of cocoa production through interpretative structural modeling (ISM) analysis approach, with the research location of North Luwu Regency of South Sulawesi. The results of the ISM analysis showed that out of the 13 institutions analyzed, there were nine institutions as priority actors in the development of cocoa production, namely: ((1) Joined Farmer group, (2) Local office for extension services (BP4K), and (3) Extension Officer (4) Private companies, (5) Center for Research/Universities, (6) Local Office for Agriculture and Plantation services, (7) Cocoa Development Center/CDC, (8) Local office for Trade, Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises, and (9) Cocoa Marketing Institute. Furthermore, based on the results of the power-dependent driver matrix mapping, there are three institutions in independent positions, and six other institutions in the linkage position. The six institutions in this linkage position, must be coordinated through effective management, because in addition to affecting the success of the program, feedback can also hinder the development of cocoa production. One of the institutions in the linkage position, namely private companies occupies a key priority position in the development of cocoa production
GLOBAL (NUTMEG IN SHELL) TRADING: TRADE AND INTEGRATION OF INTERNATIONAL MARKET: GLOBAL (NUTMEG IN SHELL) TRADING: TRADE AND INTEGRATION OF INTERNATIONAL MARKET
Get PDFThe role of nutmeg in traditional and international trade is very significant because it is able to supply around 60-75 percent of the world\u27s market share needs. The government as one of the market players has a role in creating strategic agricultural product price stabilization, and while there are still weaknesses of the agribusiness structure prevailing in Indonesia, integration analysis is very important given the benefits of knowledge about market integration. Market integration is useful to facilitate monitoring of price changes and support government policies on price stabilization and predict prices in the domestic market. Analysis of the market integration of this research uses the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model in difference determined through data stationarity test. Meanwhile, to determine the impact of the response of each variable due to shock (impulse response analysis) and Variance Decomposition. This research has three equations in the VAR analysis model and the results are all significant. The benefit of this research is to help determine the forecast of nutmeg prices in the domestic market and the impact of the response of each variable due to shocks

Get PDF
The superior banana varieties in Karanganyar Regency, including Jenawi District, have the potential to be developed, but banana development is still constrained by the lack of information regarding land suitability. This study aims to to obtain the land suitability class for banana and its limiting factors, to arrange land management for its development. This research was a descriptive explorative study through a field survey approach, supported by laboratory analysis. Determination of land suitability classes is carried out by matching land characteristics with plant growth requirements. The actual land suitability class for banana plants is not suitable (N) and marginal suitable (S3). The inhibiting factors for banana suitability were low temperature, high rainfall, low P2O5 content, steep slopes, and high erosion hazards. Land improvement effort that can be done include elaborate drainage structure, liming and ameliorant adding, P-fertilizing, planting in line with contour and cover crop planting. Potential land suitability classes for banana are not suitable (N), marginal suitable (S3) and moderately suitable (S2). Jenawi District has sufficient land potential for banana development. Banana development can be carried out on land with moderately suitable potential land suitability by improving the land limiting factors.
