Abstract
The prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies and non-communicable diseases are on the rise in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) despite the abundance of indigenous nutritious and biofortified crops. Rapid urbanisation and poor dietary habits have resulted in most Ghanaian households frequently consuming highly processed foods, sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats in place of complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, root and tuber crops, fruits, and vegetables. Existing postharvest and food processing practices may also not help consumers to make healthy food choices that would result in optimal nutrition. Applying a food systems approach will enable stakeholders to consider the solutions to these public health concerns through different lenses along the agricultural value chain. This review examines nutritious indigenous crops in Ghana, that include millet, sorghum, soybean, locust bean, aerial yam, taro, and cocoyam, considering how their nutrient composition could aid in disease prevention and health promotion among the populace. In addition, biofortified crops such as yellow and orange maize, high iron bean, yellow cassava, and orange-fleshed sweetpotato are discussed, highlighting the focal nutrients and their relation to health improvement. This review employs the food systems approach to critically examine how nutrition can be maximised along the various steps of the agricultural value chain. It concludes with recommendations at the individual and policy levels that could result in medium- and long-term positive impacts on nutrition and health status.

Abstract
A fluidized Coffee roaster has been developed. Application of the roaster on coffee beans roasting gave roasted coffee beans with characteristics of being clean and well-roasted. It also could preserve the coffee beans aroma and maintain the antioxidant activity. In this report, the effect of the roasting temperature on the antioxidant activity as well as the aroma and the taste of the roasted coffee beans was examined. The coffee beans used in this experiment were Arabica coffee originating from Tlahap, Temanggung, Indonesia. The roasting conditions were at the temperatures of 205 to 240 °C and it was performed to achieve three degrees of roasted coffee which were light roasts (205 °C), medium roasts (220 °C), and dark roasts (240 °C). The antioxidants were extracted using methanol as a solvent and the antioxidant activity was examined using the scavenging effect method. It was observed that light-roasted coffee, medium-roasted coffee, and dark-roasted coffee have antioxidant activity µg/g BHA equivalent of 58793.333, 39468.000, and 24721.500 respectively. The light-roasted coffee bean was considered the best result with a score of sensory evaluation of 82.25 which is categorized as a specialty grade of coffee.
The involvement of Chloride Intracellular Channel expression and binding interaction to Emamectin benzoatein Plutella xylostellaxylostella.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Plutella xylostella strains from Tsaotun and Nantaou (TT) are more than 400-fold resistant to emamectin benzoate. Previous research found no mutations in the target sites GABA receptors and glutamate receptors. As a result, next generation sequencing (NGS) was performed, which revealed that the expression of Chloride Intracellular Channel (CLIC) in emamectin benzoate selected Tsaotun (TTSel) strain was significantly higher than that in emamectin benzoate relax Tsaotun (TTRx) strain. The quantitation-comparative cycle threshold (CT) was investigated in this study. TTSel and TTRx larvae from the 45th generation were used as samples in a qPCR machine. The results revealed that the expression of the CLIC gene increased in the TTSel strain when compared to the TTRx strain. Female larvae have higher CLIC gene expression than male larvae, particularly the CLIC X1 gene. It is possible that it is the source of lepidopteran resistance to emamectin benzoate. CLIC X1 and CLIC X2 genes were found to be conserved in some lepidopterans, according to phylogenetic tree analysis. There are indications of the presence of nuclear localization signals (NLS) conserved only in CLIC X1, which is important in emmamectin benzoate resistance.

Published: October 2023

AbstractA herbaceous plant called biduri (Calotropis gigantea) is useful as a medicine. The leaves, roots, and flowers are just a few of the organs that contain secondary metabolites. A callus is an accumulation of secondary metabolite-producing amorphous cells. Through the induction of plant growth regulators, callus formation can be induced. The goal of the study was to find the BAP and IBA concentration that would promote callus formation in biduri. The initialstem segments of biduri, which were 1.5 months old and 2 cm long, were used as explants. A factorial design using two components and three repetitions of each was employed in a fully randomized design. BAP concentrations (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ppm) and IBA concentrations were the first and second factors, respectively (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ppm). The callus induction time, callus morphology (color and texture), and callus appearance percentage were the factors that were observed. The results demonstrated that a green, compact callus could be produced at a concentration of 4 ppm BAP and 1 ppm IBA. The proportion of callus manifestation rose and the callus induction time decreased with an increase in BAP concentration of up to 4 ppm.

Abstract
One of the national initiatives to lessen reliance on imports of soybeans and attain soybean self-sufficiency by 2022 is soybean production. Gamma rays are used to irradiate the Denna 1 and Rajabasa kinds of soybean seedlings. The treatments utilized were planted in metal trays and varied from 0 to 1000 Gy. The germination rate was 40% in Rajabasa at 900 and 1000 Gy, which was the lowest, and 88.35% at 0 Gy on Denna 1. Denna 1 had the highest plant height at 0 Gy (34.53 cm), while Denna 2 had the lowest at 800 Gy (1.30 cm). Denna 1 had the most leaves (6.40 cm) at 200 Gy, whereas Rajabasa had the fewest at 400 Gy (0.50). Rajabasa-2 had the highest flowering age at M3 generation (44,33 days) and Denna-1.3 had the lowest (300 Gy) (41,67 days). Rajabasa mutant line had the maximum weight of full pods at 200 Gy (55,33 g), whereas Rajabasa-1 showed the lowest weight at 300 Gy (33 g). The outcome of this dosage orientation experiment may assist in determining the ideal dose for post-irradiated plants.

Abstract
Because of their high protein content, soybeans are a vital source of protein for human survival. By fertilizing with substances like biological fertilizers and micro fertilizers to meet the nutritional requirements of plants during growth, efforts can be made to increase the quality and quantity of soybean harvests.This research examines the effect of boron fertilizer and double inoculation doses, Rhizobium sp. and different Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) on soybean growth and production. A 3x4 factorial pattern with three replications and a completely randomized design (CRD) were used in this study. The first factor is the dosage of boron fertilizer (B) used, which has three treatment levels: B0 = 0 kg/ha (Control), B1 = (1 kg/ha), B2 (2 kg/ha), and B3 (3 kg/ha). The second factor is the double inoculation dose of PSB (R) and Rhizobium sp. with four treatment levels, namely R0 = control, R1 = 6 g/seed, and R2 = 12 g/seed. The findings demonstrated that the best pods, seed weight, and root nodules were produced by the double inoculation dose of Rhizobium sp. and PSB 12 g/seed. The production and growth of soybeans have not been impacted by boron fertilizer. On the other hand, the quantity of soybean seeds is impacted by the interaction of double inoculation doses of Rhizobium sp. and PSB with a dose of boron fertilizer.

Abstract
Mangoes are harvested as a climatic fruit if they are mature but not ripe and then undergo a ripening process. Coating is applied during postharvest activities to extend their freshness. The extension of the shelf life of horticultural products is accomplished by suppressing the rate of respiration, which is the reduction of the rate of O2 intake and the rate of CO2 removal. As a result, it slows the metabolic process of the fruit, prevents excessive water loss through transpiration, and inhibits the rate of ethylene formation. The general requirements for this fruit coating are: does not affect the odor and taste, is easy to dry, is not sticky, is not easily broken, does not produce a thick surface, is not toxic, is easy to obtain, and is inexpensive. The goal of this study is to create a prototype of edible coating products using a 1000 mL laboratory apparatus and palm oil derivative feedstock. The product was tested by applying it to mangoes to extend the fruit’s freshness. The mangoes used in this coating process are Arumanis mangoes from East Java with an 80-85% maturity level. The application result of the edible coating products based on palm oil derivatives shows that these Arumanis mangoes have been able to suppress weight losses of up to 5% for approximately 4 (four) weeks, the hardness level is 22.33N, Total Dissolved Solids (Brix) is 9.27, O2 and CO2 respiration rate of 10.91 and 15.24 ml / kg / hour.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The most recent inventions and scientific breakthroughs are required since technological advancements cause such rapid development. To perceive prospects through entrepreneurship in the agriculture sector, it therefore takes a young generation that can make quick, technological innovations. Yet since 2014, there has been a decline in the workforce employed in agriculture. The purpose of this study is to look into the attitudes and circumstances that might encourage members of the younger generation to start their own businesses in the agricultural industry. The study was carried out in the following five Indonesian provinces: Banten, East Java, Central Java, and Yogyakarta Special Area. There were 153 respondents who participated in the research. The data has been analyzed using the Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) to understand the factor and behavior influencing agripreneurial intention among Indonesian Millenials. According to the research finding, there are several factors, namely perceived behavioral control and attitude towards behavior that have positive effect on the millennial’s intention to become entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector. This shows that technical and soft skills have influenced the entrepreneurial incentive in the agriculture sectors. Yet, there is no relationship between the agricultural intention and subjective norms or outside motivation. Academic institutions, corporate leaders, and the government should take into account the demand for both soft and practical skills in the agricultural and industrial sectors for young people. Future labor force and added value will increase if younger generations participate more in farm sectors.

Abstract
Ciplukan (Physalis angulata) fruit is known to contain various bioactive compounds that can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and have radical scavenging activity. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of ciplukan extract are affected by ultrasonic-assisted extraction. This study used ciplukan extract that has undergone ultrasonic treatment (P0: 24-hour maceration, P1: 30 minutes, P2: 60 minutes, and P3: 120 minutes). The total phenolic, flavonoid, and antioxidant activity of the ciplukan extract was then assessed using DPPH (2,2′-diphenylpicryl hydrazyl), and the antibacterial activity was assessed using dilution techniques. The outcomes demonstrated that total phenolic contents, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity were significantly impacted by the ultrasonic-assisted extraction method (P<0.05). The highest total phenolic content, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity (IC50) obtained from the two-hour ultrasonic treatment (P3) were 176.62 mg GAE/g, 121.33mg QE/g, and 50.80 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the capability of ciplukan extract to inhibit the growth of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria was assessed. The thirty-minute ultrasonic treatment (P1) has the highest antibacterial activity, the MIC values for P1 treatment were 500 μg/mL on Staphylococcus aureus FNCC 0047 and 125 μg/mL on Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027. These results indicate the antioxidant and antibacterial capabilities of ciplukan extract obtained from the physical extraction process using ultrasonic.

Abstract
Food is a basic necessity that must be provided in sufficient quantities, of high quality, and continuously. Utilizing the potential of natural resources, such as using locally available sago as a carbohydrate or starch source, can help alleviate the problem of food availability. Additionally, a washing procedure that produces starch could improve the caliber of the final product. The goal of the study was to identify the most effective washing agent for producing high-quality sago starch. The study’s design used a totally random approach. Chlorine, water, and metabisulphite (500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 ppm) are used in the washing process for sago starch (500, 1000, 1500, 2000 ppm). As a control, unwashed sago starch was used. According to SNI 3729:2008, the weighing and sago starch quality results showed that water was the best washing agent. The results showed a normal color, taste, and aroma as well as a moisture content of 9.92%, an ash content of 0.17%, an 87% starch content of 0.44%, an acidity level of 2.99%, the absence of SO2, Hg, and As levels, 0.7 ppm of Pb, 2.34 ppm of Cu, and a TPC value of 2.93 log cfu/g.
