Rapid Authentication of Intact Stingless Bee Honey (SBH) by Portable LED-Based Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Chemometrics.

Indonesian stingless bee honey (SBH) of is popular and traded at an expensive price. Brown rice syrup (RS) is frequently used as a cheap adulterant for an economically motivated adulteration (EMA) in SBH. In this study, authentic Indonesian SBH of ( = 100), adulterated SBH ( = 120), fake SBH ( = 100), and RS ( = 200) were prepared.

Local wisdom and Government's role in strengthening the sustainable competitive advantage of creative industries.

The competitive advantage of the Creative Industry is an important strategy to succeed in a highly competitive global business market. The Indonesian creative industry is a strategic industry characterised by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). However, these enterprises face challenges, such as low entrepreneurial orientation, low digital literation to access the global market, limited capital, lack of digital payment methods, and a focus on conventional marketing activities rather than implementing Entrepreneurial Marketing (EM).

The Authentication of Gayo Arabica Green Coffee Beans with Different Cherry Processing Methods Using Portable LED-Based Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Chemometrics Analysis.

Aceh is an important region for the production of high-quality Gayo arabica coffee in Indonesia. In this area, several coffee cherry processing methods are well implemented including the honey process (HP), wine process (WP), and natural process (NP). The most significant difference between the three coffee cherry processing methods is the fermentation process: HP is a process of pulped coffee bean fermentation, WP is coffee cherry fermentation, and NP is no fermentation.

Simple analytical method using ultraviolet spectral dataset and chemometrics for the authentication of Indonesian specialty ground roasted coffee with different botanical and geographical indications.

The possible application of a simple analytical method based on a UV (ultraviolet) spectral dataset coupled with SIMCA (soft independent modeling of class analogy) for authentication of Indonesian specialty ground roasted coffee with different botanical and geographical indications (GIs) was demonstrated. Three types of Indonesian specialty ground roasted coffee were used: GIs arabica coffee from Gayo Aceh (96 samples), GIs liberica coffee from Meranti-Riau (119 samples), and GIs robusta coffee from Lampung (150 samples) with 1 g weight of each sample. All samples were extracted using hot distilled water and 3 mL aqueous filtered samples were pipetted into a 10 mm quartz cell.

Non-Targeted Detection and Quantification of Food Adulteration of High-Quality Stingless Bee Honey (SBH) via a Portable LED-Based Fluorescence Spectroscopy.

Stingless bee honey (SBH) is rich in phenolic compounds and available in limited quantities. Authentication of SBH is important to protect SBH from adulteration and retain the reputation and sustainability of SBH production. In this research, we use portable LED-based fluorescence spectroscopy to generate and measure the fluorescence intensity of pure SBH and adulterated samples.

The use of cellulolytic sp. inoculum to improve the quality of Pineapple compost.

Pineapple litter has a complex polymer of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which makes them difficult to decompose. However, pineapple litter has great potential to be a good organic material source for the soil when completely decomposed. The addition of inoculants can facilitate the composting process.

Quantification of Corn Adulteration in Wet and Dry-Processed Peaberry Ground Roasted Coffees by UV-Vis Spectroscopy and Chemometrics.

In this present research, a spectroscopic method based on UV-Vis spectroscopy is utilized to quantify the level of corn adulteration in peaberry ground roasted coffee by chemometrics. Peaberry coffee with two types of bean processing of wet and dry-processed methods was used and intentionally adulterated by corn with a 10-50% level of adulteration. UV-Vis spectral data are obtained for aqueous samples in the range between 250 and 400 nm with a 1 nm interval.

The Use of UV Spectroscopy and SIMCA for the Authentication of Indonesian Honeys According to Botanical, Entomological and Geographical Origins.

As a functional food, honey is a food product that is exposed to the risk of food fraud. To mitigate this, the establishment of an authentication system for honey is very important in order to protect both producers and consumers from possible economic losses. This research presents a simple analytical method for the authentication and classification of Indonesian honeys according to their botanical, entomological, and geographical origins using ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy and SIMCA (soft independent modeling of class analogy).

The Use of Partial Least Square Regression and Spectral Data in UV-Visible Region for Quantification of Adulteration in Indonesian Palm Civet Coffee.

Asian palm civet coffee or kopi luwak (Indonesian words for coffee and palm civet) is well known as the world's priciest and rarest coffee. To protect the authenticity of luwak coffee and protect consumer from luwak coffee adulteration, it is very important to develop a robust and simple method for determining the adulteration of luwak coffee. In this research, the use of UV-Visible spectra combined with PLSR was evaluated to establish rapid and simple methods for quantification of adulteration in luwak-arabica coffee blend.
