Salted eggs in Indonesia are produced using duck eggs, but in this research salted egg are examined using layer chicken egg especially for diversification and effort to improve its added value. This research aims to examine production of layer chicken salted egg in different temperature processes and its finansial feasibility. The results show that the most suitable temperature process for layer chicken salted egg is 45°C for 4 days based on organoleptic test result on egg yolk, egg white, and overall performance.

Memory loss can occur in an older adult or even a younger age person. From our preliminary survey with 85 respondents, 91% of respondents ever experienced memory loss symptoms, and 63% have ever consumed memory-boosting products. This study examines a product development of a jelly drink for memory boosting, especially for youth and young adults using Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), one of the herbal plants that can increase cell neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Initially, the needs of the respondents were classified, benchmarked with available similar products, and then transformed into specifications. The concept generation and selection were carried to fulfill the specification, including regulatory requirements. Three concepts were market-tested in jelly drink, milkshake, and syrup, where 53% prefer jelly drink. The final; formulation ingredients include Bacopa monnieri, Honey, Blueberry extract, Sugar, Agar, Jelly, Water, and Sodium benzoate.

Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) is the main solid waste from the palm oil processing industry. One of the main constituent polymers of Oil Palm EFB is lignin. Currently, lignin is used as wood adhesives. The antioxidant activity of lignin has received much attention recently because of the structure of the polyphenols possessed by lignin. Although previous studies have shown that lignin has antioxidant activity, lignin is easily oxidized while in storage. Therefore, we need materials to maintain lignin stability. This research analyzes the investment feasibility of a lignin production plant encapsulated from oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) as raw material. The factory will be built in the Kertajaya area, Banten, Indonesia, with a project life span of 15 years and is targeted to meet a 1% market share. This study compared four pretreatment processes: alkaline with NaOH, acid-alkaline, steam explosion, and alkaline with NH4OH. The production process simulation uses the SuperPro Designer v9.5 to obtain mass, energy, and economic parameter data. Simulations show the production of encapsulated lignin with the alkaline pretreatment using the NaOH method as the best alternative with the profitability parameters in the form of NPV, IRR, and PBP, of USD 6,078,000; 35.23 % and 3.19 years, respectively, at the product selling price of USD 40/kg.

Microalgae's high protein content makes them an attractive feedstock for aquaculture feed applications. However, an economical and effective mass cultivation is essential for greater feasibility in microalgal-based aquaculture applications. Therefore, in this research the utilization of wastewater for microalgal cultivation using two local species of Chlamydomonas sp. UKM6 and Scenedesmus sp. UKM9 were discussed with particular attention to the feasibility of utilizing POME as microalgal growth medium for the production of bulk biomass. The growth rate for Chlamydomonas sp. UKM6 and Scenedesmus sp. UKM9 grown in Bold's Basal Media (BBM) were found higher (0.2829, 0.4045 day-1) than in POME (0.160, 0.255 day-1). Their biomass were then applied as zooplankton enrichment feed for Daphnia magna and then subsequently for feeding fish larvae. The result shown that enriched Daphnia using Scenedesmus sp. UKM9 microalgae promotes better growth, survival and fecundity of fish larvae (P>0.05) than the control diet using dried yeast. Thus, this research indicating the feasibility of culturing microalgae using wastewater as a means to reduce the cost of production is possible and therefore can be applied in aquaculture feed industries.
