Following organic processes in nature, the “cradle to cradle” concept sees the waste of a given process as raw material for another. According to this concept, products must be designed in such a way that, in the end of their service life, they can be reused without loss of quality (as technical nutrients) or returned to the environment as biological nutrients and safely decomposed. The main issues, however, are how to move away from the traditional linear system of production (“cradle to grave”) into a cyclic “cradle to cradle” concept, and the identification of parameters that should be considered during the design process in order to achieve real sustainable characteristics through sustainable design and development. The paper provides a review of research and data collection associated with the footwear industry, whose products satisfy a basic human need and are ubiquitous worldwide. After going through a dramatic change in its business model over the last few decades with the advent of outsourcing, today this industry has large economic and environmental impact, highly centralized manufacturing and a complex supply chain, in addition to early but notable efforts on green product development — characteristics that make it a compelling industry to study.

Developing shoots, i.e., sprouts, and older needles of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) have traditionally been used for medicinal purposes due to the high content of vitamins and antioxidants. Currently, sprouts are available as, for example, superfood and supplements. However, end-product quality and nutritive value may decline in the value-chain from raw material sourcing to processing and storage. We studied (1) impacts of different drying and extraction methods on nutritional composition and antioxidative properties of sprouts and needles, (2) differences between sprouts and needles in nutritional composition and microbiological quality, and (3) production scale quality of the sprouts. Additionally, (4) sprout powder was applied in products (ice-cream and sorbet) and consumer acceptance was evaluated. According to our results, older needles have higher content of dry matter, energy, and calcium, but lower microbial quality than sprouts. Sprouts showed a higher concentration of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus than older needles. Freeze-drying was the best drying method preserving the quality of both sprouts and needles, e.g., vitamin C content. The antioxidative activity of the sprout extracts were lower than that of needles. Ethanol-water extraction resulted in a higher content of active compounds in the extract than water extraction. Sensory evaluation of food products revealed that on average, 76% of consumers considered sprout-containing products very good or good, and a creamy product was preferred over a water-based sorbet.

Abstract Analog rice is artificial rice shaped like rice grains made from non-rice carbohydrate-rich flour with water, which can overcome food security in Indonesia. Taro kimpul is a local food rich in carbohydrates that cannot be widely used. Therefore, kimpul thread has the potential to be used as raw material in the manufacture of analog rice. This study aimed to determine the chemical characteristics of kimpul taro analog rice with dyes and binders. In addition, it is expected to increase consumer acceptance based on sensory testing. This research method uses an experimental laboratory method by making analog rice with 4 formulations. The analysis was water content, ash content, protein content, fat content, carbohydrate content, and sensory (hedonic) analysis, including colour, taste, texture, and overall aroma. The results showed that analog rice A was the best formula selected using the Bayes method based on the results of chemical and hedonic tests. Chemical and sensory characteristics of analog rice A with the use of 4% CMC and 32% beet are as follows moisture 2.88%; ash 2.3%; fat 1.1%; 5.7% protein; carbohydrate 87.94% and a preference value with an average range of neutral-good.

Spray-dried potato juice, a raw material with pro-health properties that have already been described in recent literature, was used to substitute a part of wheat flour in bread. Bread was chosen based on its popularity. This paper is a report on the results of this substitution. Three levels of flour replacement were chosen – 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5% (with respect to the mass of flour). The influence of potato juice addition on some of the most important characteristics of wheat bread was determined. Mixes of wheat flour and spray-dried potato juice were analyzed for fermentative and pasting properties. Baked bread samples were analyzed for their texture, color, consumer acceptance and antioxidant activity. The substitution influenced the volume of the loaf as gasses were not retained by the underdeveloped gluten network. Spray-dried potato juice was also found to influence the pasting properties. The viscosity values (peak viscosity, trough and final viscosity) determined with the RVA device were increased in pastes obtained from raw material mixtures with spray-dried potato juice. These crumb also showed increased firmness and chewiness as well as decreased springiness in the performed texture profile analyses. Spray-dried potato juice was also found to impact the color of bread crumb to an extent noticeable to the human eye. The bread that contained spray-dried potato juice was darker than bread produced with sole wheat bread. The color components (CIE L*a*b*) were shifted toward red and yellow. The bread containing spray-dried potato juice was also significantly richer in antioxidant compounds than the control wheat bread. From the perspective of consumer acceptance, the introduction of larger amounts of spray-dried potato juice resulted in deterioration of the sensory quality. Nonetheless, the acceptance of bread with 2.5% of flour substituted with spray-dried potato juice did not differ significantly from the control.

Abstract Nori is processed seaweed that is quite popular, including in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and consumer acceptance level of nori from Sargassum hystrix seaweed. S. hystrix (in wet and/or dry form) was soaked in 0.01% NaOH, then blended into a slurry. S. hystrix slurry was molded in size 15x15 cm and dried in an oven (70°C, 3 hours). The analysis included thickness, hardness, proximate analysis, antioxidant activity with 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), antidiabetic activity, and hedonic tests. The results of this study indicate that the composition of the initial conditions of raw materials has a significant effect (P<0.05) on the characteristics and consumer acceptance level of S. hystrix nori. The best treatment was obtained on nori made from the initial raw material in wet form with the characteristics of a thickness of 0.34 mm, hardness of 335.21 gf, water content of 14.47%, ash content of 21.22%, protein content of 7.51%, fat content of 9.64%, total phenol content of 21.01 mg GAE/g, DPPH inhibition activity 62.77%, FRAP value 133.50 M/g, (-glucosidase inhibitory activity 43.81%, and consumer acceptance level of appearance 2.66, aroma 2.41, texture 3.06, flavour 3.26, and color 2.98.
