MAKASSAR, Indonesia, 5 July 2024/love-reg/Nuggets have the disadvantage of low dietary fiber and antioxidant activity, then the use of tapioca flour in making nuggets results in a low protein product. So the substitution of tapioca flour with red beans and green beans is needed. This study aims to analyze and identify the substitution of tapioca flour with green bean flour and red bean flour on antioxidant activity and physicochemical characteristics of chicken nuggets. The research design used a fully randomized 2x5 factorial pattern with substitution levels of 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 (%). The Parameters measured were antioxidant activity, protein content, dietary fiber content and L* color. The results showed that the content of antioxidant activity and protein content was higher in the substitution of red bean flour at the 60% level with a value of 65.6%, The highest dietary fiber content was observed in the substitution of green bean flour at the 60% level with a value of 10.7%. then the substitution of red bean flour and green bean flour can reduce the color value of L* in nugget products. There was an interaction between the type of treatment and the degree of substitution on the dietary fiber content. It was concluded that substitution at 60% level was the best treatment in flour substitution in chicken nugget products.
MAKASSAR, Indonesia, 12 April 2025/love-reg/PT. Fashion Service Indonesia has built an e-commerce industry where consumers can shop through the available online platforms. In warehousing, there is an unloading process that is included in the in-bound part, to facilitate tracking and data collection in the unloading process, a good administrative recording system is needed. One of the factors that causes the long waiting time in the unloading administration process is due to inefficient activities from the use of Microsoft Excel Open Office in the data transfer process between the counter admin team and the field team due to frequent crashes in files. Looking at the problems that occur, the author will conduct research by applying the concept of lean manufacturing and conducting analysis using the value stream mapping (VSM) method. From the results of the analysis, the activities that are the cause of the waste of time that occur in the unloading administration process at PT. FSI is a save & reload and copy & paste file activity that is included in the waste of overprocessing. Furthermore, the unloading administration process activities previously carried out by PT FSI have 20 activities with a total cycle time of 6525 seconds, after improvements have been made, now the activities carried out by the unloading administration process are 15 activities with a total cycle time of 5145 seconds, which can reduce the unloading administration process cycle time by 1379 seconds or about 21% of the previous cycle time.
MAKASSAR, Indonesia, 17 September 2024/love-reg/housewives in the Padaidi village, Mattiro Bulu sub-district, Pinrang regency are not economically productive; they rely solely on their husbands' income. On the other hand, this area is predominantly inhabited by chicken egg farmers. Generally, laying hens are culled after 70-76 weeks and have tougher meat compared to broiler chickens, resulting in very low market value. Therefore, technological intervention is needed to increase the added value of culled chickens. One of the alternatives to address this issue is empowering housewives to develop productive businesses in the field of processing livestock products, particularly processed culled chicken meat products such as meatballs, nuggets, sausages, and other processed meat products with the addition of natural antioxidants to produce healthier and more nutritious functional food products. The implementation method included coordination, discussions, education, training, and mentoring for partners (housewives). Based on the results, participants were very enthusiastic about attending training on making meatball from culled chicken meat with the addition of moringa leaf powder as a natural antioxidant. This training activity was expected to stimulate and motivate the local community, especially housewives, to engage in productive businesses in processing livestock products to help improve nutrition and family income.
MAKASSAR, Indonesia, 5 October 2024/love-reg/Identification of the influence of sediment on flow characteristics in open channels is quite important because open channels are prone to sediment deposition. This study aims to help understand the influence of sediment on flow characteristics in open channels based on the calculation of the Froude number (Fr). This type of research uses a quantitative method, as the data is collected. The research data showed that there was a change in flow speed in the channel, where the flow without sediment was greater than the flow using sediment. So it can be concluded that there is an influence of the base sediment on changes in flow velocity over time. and showed that over time, the characteristics of the flow also changed, due to the erosion of the sediment of the channel bed. So it can be concluded that sediment influences changes in flow characteristics.
MAKASSAR, Indonesia, 26 February 2024/love-reg/Bone is one of the by-products of the livestock industry. Bones from slaugh tered cattle are easily subjected to the process of decay, so they require quick
and precise handling which can be a source of the spreading harmful microorganisms. Beef bone by-product has potential as a high nano-calcium source for hydroxyapatite (HA) material. This study aims to characterize the by-product of bovine leg bone (Os metacarpus) as HA material. We used three stages of the HA production process: calcination, precipitation, and sintering. HA production results were then evaluated. The calcination process uses a temperature of 900C for 5 h followed by a precipitation process with 0.3M phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and then is continued with various sintering temperatures. All samples were evaluated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infra-red, and scanning electron microscopy. The research results indicate that the sintering method significantly alters the structural and optical properties of HA. Kramers-Kronig analysis shows that the stable bonding of the annealed sample is characterized by the widening of the DðLO TO) and
has good agreement with the crystallinity alteration. Significant changes in the number of pores are also evaluated on the HA surface indicating higher surface area allows more interaction.
MAKASSAR, Indonesia, 11 November 2024/love-reg/There are two aspects of the problems of the cattle farming community in Soppeng Regency, namely the availability of feed and the impact of livestock waste. The largest waste potential in Soppeng Regency, especially Watu Village, is agricultural and livestock waste. However, it has not been utilized optimally. Watu Village, which is rich in organic materials, is one of the reasons for developing this village as an organic farming village in Soppeng Regency. The purpose of this activity is to increase the capacity of knowledge and skills of partner farmers in processing organic waste from livestock and agriculture to be produced into compost fertilizer or fermented feed (silage). A total of 3 community group partners were involved, namely: 1) the "Allaringnge" farmer/livestock group, 2) the "Kampung Baru" women's farmer group and 3) the village-owned business entity "Dewa Utama". Two technology packages have been applied to partners, namely compost production process technology and fermented feed (silage) production process technology. The applied technology method is carried out in four stages, namely: 1) socialization, 2) training, 3) practice and creation of technology demonstration plots, and 4) evaluation. The results of the implementation of the activities have proven to be able to increase the capacity and knowledge of partners regarding the methods and processes for producing organic fertilizer (bio-compost) and fermented feed (silage) by utilizing livestock and agricultural waste.
