This study aims to develop plant-based meat alternatives with unique textures by adding pineapple residue at four different ratios (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% w/w). The developed products' textures, sensory characteristics, nutritional values, and consumer acceptance were all assessed. The results showed that an increase in the pineapple residue content caused lightness (L*), redness (a*), as well as yellowness (b*) to increase. The textural properties of the plant-based minced meatballs in this study were relatively lower ...

Several studies have found the effect of cocoa bean fermentation on bioactive compounds through various fermentation characteristics; however, none of these studies adopted the meta-analysis approach. The effect of cocoa bean fermentation on six bioactive compounds: epicatechin, catechin, total phenolic content (TPC), anthocyanins, theobromine, and caffeine were systematically reviewed. This study aims to determine which variables that can affect the loss of bioactive compounds during fermentation so that their ...

The use of chemical inputs in conventional agriculture is associated with some health and environmental issues. This led to a call for more sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture with no health issues. However, there is low participation in organic farming in Nigeria, which could be linked to less knowledge about its profitability. The study investigated smallholder organic maize farming profitability in Northern Nigeria. We employed descriptive statistics, profitability analysis, and a multiple regression ...

In recent years, the demand for organic rice has increased along with the increasing consumer awareness of it. However, information or knowledge systems regarding consumer expectations of the quality of organic rice have not been well developed. For this reason, this study aims to describe gaps in information or knowledge systems throughout the supply chain which is the strategy for developing the quality of organic rice. Focus group discussions were conducted with farmers, processors, and consumers, from which key ...

The multidimensional perspective of ecological and social sustainable agriculture in the global agri-food system has resulted in the emergence of certification schemes as an important mode of governance, but there are still few agricultural actors in Indonesia who register for product certification and recertification. The purpose of this research is to analyze community perception in order to determine the development of Prima certified fruits in East Java. The sampling technique used quota sampling, with 5 people ...
