Food rescue and donation in socioenvironmental policies on tackling food loss and waste: a systematic review
(2021-12-20)
In recent years, there has been an increasing concern among governments about food loss and waste – FL&W and, in this context, the food rescue and donation – FR&D has emerged in the scenario of socioenvironmental policies as a strategic factor for FL&W reduction. Despite FR&D have potential to establish a “win-win” arrangement between the spheres of waste management and demands of food security, it still has been perceived as a less attractive alternative than forwarding the surplus food to the waste treatment system. ...

Decontamination of Pineapple (Ananas comosus) juice using Ozone as a Non-thermal Sterilization method
(2021-12-15)
Ozone is a non thermal preservation technology used for enhancing shelf life and the safety of the food products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gaseous ozone on microbial decontamination and on some physicochemical characteristics (soluble solids content, pH, titratable acidity and color), bioactive compounds and total antioxidant activity of Pineapple juice. Ozone treatments were applied for Pineapple juice at 4 different exposure times as 15 mins, 30 mins, 45 mins and 60 mins at 250C and ...

Using crop genetic diversity to improve resilience: Agronomic potential of evolutionary breeding under differing management systems
(2019-03)
Mainly within organic and low-input cropping systems, evolutionary breeding based on the creation of heterogeneous evolving composite cross populations (CCPs) has been gaining attention. The aim of this dissertation is to assess the agronomic potential and yield stability of wheat CCPs in comparison to pure line varieties under differing management systems.
Three winter wheat CCPs were created in the UK in 2001, based on parental varieties that were selected for either their high yield or baking quality. The baking ...

Effects of biochar application on anaerobic digestion processes
(2024)
The use of biochar as an additive in anaerobic digestion (AD) is a potential pathway to enhance AD while promoting biomass-to-biochar value chain within a circular bioeconomy. Biochar, a novel biomaterial, serves for managing residual biomass following the cascading use principle, prioritizing material use over sole energy generation. AD, as a well-established method for biogas production and organic substance management, plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Therefore, this thesis investigated the ...

Optimization on the manufacturing process of fried instant corn noodle using response surface methodology
(2023-07-31)
Instant corn noodles can be manufactured using the air drying and frying process. The objective of this study was to determine the optimum process parameters and emulsifier concentration to produce instant corn noodles from 100% corn flour with relatively good quality characteristics using a cooking-forming single screw extruder. This study consisted of two stages, namely the determination of corn noodles with the fastest cooking time using emulsifier concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5% from the weight of corn ...

Traditional Seafood Product Purchase Through E-Commerce: The Impact of Perceived Risk and Benefit to Consumers’ Intention to Buy
(2023-07-31)
Traditional seafood products in Indonesia are also very diverse, influenced by ethnicity and eating habits. However, the problem is the low level of consumption of seafood products in Indonesia. There is a limited number of traditional seafood products have entered the e-commerce due to the lack of knowledge about consumer demand. To boost the purchase of traditional seafood product, consumers’ perception need to be explored as it plays prominent role in a successful food product. The aims of this research are to ...

Analysis of Food Consumption Patterns as a Step for Mapping Future Food Needs Based on the Potential of Local Food
(2023-07-31)
Muara Gembong Village, in Bekasi Regency, West Java is an area that has a variety of potential local food ingredients that can improve the welfare of the surrounding community. It is necessary to map the consumption and use of local food ingredients in the area so that it can be identified the type of food that needs to be developed as a strategy to improve food security in Muara Gembong village. One way to identify this is by analyzing the community's food consumption patterns. This study aims to analyze food ...

Trade-off between carbon offset and economic benefit: Potential of cocoa-based agroforestry system implemented in voluntary carbon market
(2023-11-02)
Agroforestry systems (AFS) are a viable option for the mitigation of deforestation. Thus far AFS has been recognized and financed through the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) program; however, analysis of the potential carbon credit payment and productivity trade-off has rarely been conducted. This study aims to analyse the potential of cocoa-based AFS in terms of the trade-off of carbon accumulation and productivity in West Sumatra, Indonesia. The trade-off is shown through 20 years of financial analysis between the ...

Effect of management strategies on the performance of ruminant livestock production systems and the safety of plant and animal products in the city of Sikasso, Mali
(kassel university press, 2012-05-02)
The regional population growth in West Africa, and especially its urban centers, will bring about new and critical challenges for urban development policy, especially in terms of ensuring food security and providing employment for the growing population. (Peri-) urban livestock and vegetable production systems, which can contribute significantly to these endeavours, are limited by various constraints, amongst them limited access to expensive production factors and their (in)efficient use. To achieve sustainable ...

Influence of quebracho tannin extract and activated charcoal on nutrient intake and digestibility, digesta passage, nitrogen balance, and quality of faecal excreta in goats
(kassel university press, 2015)
The current study investigated the possibilities of producing manure that meets the specific requirements of irrigated organic cropping systems under arid sub-tropical conditions.
Therefore, two trials with goats were conducted that investigated the impact of control diets on their digestibility and faecal concentration with the goal to lowerfaecal concentration levels and meet the requirements of irrigated organic cropping.
Feeding ruminants with condensed tannins (CT) will lower ruminal protein degradation, ...
