The cupuassu’s seeds are similar to cocoa, being possible to apply fermentative techniques used to obtain nibs and cupulate. The aim of this work to study the physicochemical transformations during the cupuassu´s seeds fermentation. For this purpose, frozen seeds from a pulp processing industry were fermented in three batches of 20 kg for seven days at room temperature. During the fermentation process, seed mass temperature, dimensions, density and composition of the kernels, color indexes (L*, C* and H*), microbiological analyzis (mesophiles, molds and yeasts), cut-proof, physicochemical analyzis (pH, acidity and glucose reducing sugars and non sucrose reduction) and centesimal composition (ashes, lipids, proteins and carbohydrates) were analyzed from triplicates. The results were expressed as dry basis. During the fermentations, the great temperatures were reached. The maximus were 43,44 and 47 ºC in three fermentations. It was observed during the fermentation process: seed darkening (L*) and color intensity reduction (Chroma), pH increase, sugar reduction and acidity reduction. The ash, lipid and protein contents were not significantly influenced by the fermentation time. According to the cut test, the kernels of 3rd fermentation, whose maximum temperature was higher, were classified as type 2 and the others as type 3. The values of apparent density, dimensions, mass and composition of seeds demonstrated that during the fermentation there was a decrease in volume with a higher proportion of cotyledon compared to testa. There was an increase in counts of total mesophiles aerobic microorganisms, molds and yeasts, during the fermentative process.

Abstract Indonesian cocoa is cheaper and considered second grade compared with most other cocoa. However, the domestic chocolate industry is not well-developed due to significantly low consumption. To cope with these issues, product innovation through technical process improvement is required to stimulate the domestic chocolate industry. This study aimed to investigate the effect of cocoa bean origin and conching time on the physicochemical (water content, texture, color, crude fat content, and melting enthalpy) and microstructural properties of chocolate. The experiment was conducted under a completely randomized factorial design consisting of two factors: cocoa bean origin (100% fermented cocoa beans from Jember, 100% fermented cocoa beans from Southeast Sulawesi, 50% fermented cocoa beans from Jember + 50% non-fermented cocoa beans from Southeast Sulawesi, and 50% fermented cocoa beans from Southeast Sulawesi + 50% non-fermented cocoa beans from Southeast Sulawesi) and conching time (4, 6 and 8 h). The results showed that cocoa bean origin significantly affected the hardness, gumminess and color of chocolate, including the redness and yellowness level, whereas conching time affected water content, hardness, cohesiveness, elasticity, and crude fat content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed that the treatment with 100% fermented cocoa beans from Jember presented higher values of Tonset, ΔHmelt and area compared with those of the treatment with 100% fermented cocoa beans from Southeast Sulawesi, which presented higher values of Tpeak and Tend. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis showed a distribution of solid and dense particles with crystal interaction with chocolate structures.

Cookies are processed cakes made from wheat flour. However, currently the need for flour is mostly met with import activities, so there needs to be an effort to reduce dependence on the use of wheat flour. One of the local food resources that can be used as an alternative to flour is cocoyams flour (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) which was modified by the fermentation process using the starter Lactobacillus plantarum to improve product texture. Tapioca can also be used as a substitute for wheat flour in making cookies, while the formation of texture can be helped by the addition of margarine. This study aimed to determine the effect of the proportion of cocoyams flour: tapioca flour and the addition of margarine to the characteristics of cookies. This research used factorial completely randomized design with two factors. The first Factor is proportion of modification cocoyams flour and   tapioca (50:50, 60:40, and 70:30). The second factor in the form of concentration addition of margarine (50%, 60%, 70%). The results showed that the best treatment was the proportion of modification cocoyams and tapioca flour (70:30) and the addition of 50% margarine which produced cookies with criteria of water content of 3.95%, fat content of 29.15%, crude fiber of 3.29%, fracture strength of 11.17 N, yield of 55.95%, and organoleptic test results with the number of ranks of preference level for crispness/texture of 139, aroma 110.5, color 106 and taste 133.8

Sugar Cane Filter Cake (SGFC) is the sugar cane to sugar processing waste in Krebet Baru Sugar Factory. Utilization of this SGFC waste was limited for free soil or unprocessed fertilizer. Sugar cane filter cake is an organic waste which potential to be utilized into biogas. Biogas is anaerobic process product which consist methane as a major compound. Factors that influence biogas fermentation process were temperature, water content, fiber, total sugar and total concentration of methanogen bacteria inoculum. Natural source of methanogenic bacteria is in the contents of the cattle rumen. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of blotong and the effect of addition of cattle rumen on biogas fermentation from the SGFC of the Krebet Sugar Factory. The first stage of this research was Blotong characterization. The second stage was spontaneous fermentation with two treatment factors. The first factor was enhancing the contents of the cattle rumen (5%) and without the addition of cattle rumen (0%). The second factor is the fermentation time with 3 different levels (20, 25 and 30 days). The results were shown that blotong had water content, fiber content, and C / N ratio were 10.71%; 0.06%; and 17: , respectively. These results indicate the potential of the blotong as a raw material for biogas production. SGFC fermentation with the addition of 5% cattle rumen content was shown the best results compared to biogas production with pure SGFC. The highest volume and yield of biogas produced were obtained from the 30-day fermentation process with the results of 37,327 ml of gas and 746.5 x 10-6 m3/kg. All flame tests show positive results and are proven to produce blue flames.
