The aim of the present study was to investigate the volatile and sensorial profile of basil (Ocimum basilicumL.) by quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) of the essential oil of three hybrids (“Cinnamon” × “Maria Bonita,” “Sweet Dani” × “Cinnamon,” and “Sweet Dani” × “Maria Bonita”). Twelve descriptive terms were developed by a selected panel that also generated the definition of each term and the reference samples. The data were subjected to ANOVA, Tukey’s test, and principal component analysis. The hybrid “Cinnamon” × “Maria Bonita” exhibited a stronger global aroma that was less citric than the other samples. Hybridization favored the generation of novel compounds in the essential oil of the hybrid “Sweet Dani” × “Maria Bonita,” such as canfora and (E)-caryophyllene; (E)-caryophyllene also was a novel compound in the hybrid “Sweet Dani” × “Cinnamon”; this compound was not present in the essential oils of the parents.

This research aims to analyze the rate of household food availability, the rate of farmers’ participation, factors related to farmers’ participation rate, and the impact of the participation on the food availability. The research is a survey conducted in Ambarawa Subdistrict, Pringsewu District, as Ambarawa is an area that has many active food barns. Thirty food barn institutions were chosen randomly, and from each barn  two farmers were chosen randomly as respondents.  Research data is collected in September – November 2016 and analyzed by quantitative descriptive analysis method. The results showed that the rate of household food availability was 3,392.97 kkal/cap/day or equivalent to 2,135.58 kg of dried unhulled rice annually. The rate of farmers’ participation was included in a medium category. Age, membership time in barns, rice production, income, membership in farmer groups were not significantly related to farmers’ participation rate. Farmers’ participation did not have significant impact on food availability of farmer households. Key words: barns, farmer household, food availability, participation

Some honey samples from different areas were studied for sensory properties. A panel consisting in 15 trained tasters, identified, defined and evaluated 10 samples of honey, using Quantitative Descriptive Analysis method. The most important sensory parameters, which grouped the samples, were flowery, fruity, body. Two groups of honey consumers one consisting in children aged between 4 and 10 years old the other one in people between 40 and 70 years old were investigated using typical preference scales. The young consumers like the sweet taste, the color and are interested on the package. Another ones appreciate the flowery, fruity notes and the color. Both would like some fruits (nuts, berries…) or pollen in honey.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Aims</strong>: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the impact of the volatile compounds, arising from glycosidic precursors contained in the berries of Vitis vinifera L.cv Syrah and Grenache noir varieties, on wine aromas from these varieties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Methods and results</strong>: The sensory analysis was used to compare Grenache noir and Syrah wines. The role played by the glycosidic precursors on the future odorant profile of the wines from both varieties was demonstrated in an experiment by increasing their natural content in glycosides. Then, odorant compounds were generated by aging treatments, heating at 45 °C for 3 weeks, preceded or not by enzyme addition, or natural aging for 18 months. The wines were then submitted to a selected and trained panel. Samples were compared using triangular test. Furthermore, a quantitative descriptive analysis was carried out to determine the aroma attributes describing and discriminating the wines from the two varieties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conclusion</strong>: The glycoconjugates increased the global aromatic complexity, and enhanced the fruity aromas in Grenache wines and the leather or olive aromas in Syrah wines. The use of glycosidase enzymes led to a stewed fruit character in Grenache wines, whereas in Syrah wines, the samples enriched with glycosides differed according to the « terroir ».</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Significance and impact of study</strong>: This study showed the impact of the glycosidic fraction of the grapes on the varietal aroma of wines. Furthermore, comparisons of the results obtained by both aging techniques highlight the experimental interest of the aging model but also its limits.</p>

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the effectiveness of macroprudential policies in mitigating the systemic risk in Indonesia. The study uses quantitative descriptive analysis with the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and emphasizes on the impact of two macroprudential instruments applied in Indonesia; Macroprudential Liquidity Buffer (MLB) and Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB) to credit growth for conventional and financing growth for Sharia bank. This study employes monthly data over the periods M12010-M102019 that obtained from Bank Indonesia’s (BI) website (www.bi.go.di) and the data published monthly by Financial Service Authority (OJK); Indonesia Bank Statistic and Sharia Bank Statistic.The result indicates that MLB has a positive impact on credit growth and negative effect financing for Sharia Bank. Otherwise, CCyB shows the opposite results, where it has a negative effect on credit growth, while in the Sharia bank, CCyB has a positive effect. Therefore, it is sufficient to conclude that MLB has a capability to curb the systemic risk for Sharia bank, whereas CCyB is effective for conventional bank.

AbstractJackfruit seeds are an under-utilized waste product in many tropical countries. In this work, we demonstrate the potential of roasted jackfruit seeds to substitute for cocoa powder in cappuccino formulations. Two different flours were produced from a hard variety jackfruit by drying or fermenting the seeds prior to roasting. Next, seven formulations were prepared with 50%, 75%, and 100% substitution of cocoa powder with jackfruit seed flours. The acceptance of cappuccinos by consumers (n=126) and quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA®) were used to describe the preparations. Physicochemical proprieties were also evaluated. When 50% and 75% cocoa powder was replaced with dry jackfruit seed flour, there was no change in sensory acceptability or technological proprieties; however, it is possible identify advantages to using dry jackfruit seed flour, including moisture reduction and high wettability, solubility and sensory acceptation of the chocolate aroma. The principal component analysis of QDA® explained 90% variances; cluster analysis enabled the definition of four groups for six cappuccino preparations. In fact, dry jackfruit seed flour is an innovative cocoa powder substitute; it could be used in food preparations, consequently utilizing this tropical fruit waste by incorporating it as an ingredient in a common product of the human diet.
