Optimization Approach of Microwave Assisted Extraction Anthocyanins Pigments Butterfly Pea Flowoers (Clitoria Ternatea L.) Using OFAT (One-Factor-At-a-Time) Method

Muhammad Daffa' Aththobarani — 2025-06-25

Optimization of anthocyanin pigment extraction from butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea L.) is an important focus to increase the efficiency of obtaining valuable active compounds. This study marks an initial approach in the application of Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) using 0.75% aquadest-tartaric acid solvent, with the hope of producing more stable anthocyanins. The main objectives of this study were to identify the effect of the solvent-material ratio, extraction duration, and MAE power level on anthocyanin levels (mg/L) through the One-Factor-At-a-Time (OFAT) method. The results showed that the optimal treatment was obtained at condition P17, with a solvent-material ratio of 1:15, an extraction time of 15 minutes, and an MAE power of 450 watts, which produced an anthocyanin level of 33.89 ± 0.47 mg/L. These findings confirm that increasing the solvent-material ratio to the optimal point contributes to increasing anthocyanin recovery. However, excessive MAE time and power can cause pigment degradation. The optimal ratio variables were found to be in the range of 1:15 to 1:25, extraction time 9–15 minutes, and MAE power 270–450 watts. This study is expected to be the basis for further optimization using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) method which allows for deeper analysis of the interactions between variables.

Edi Susilo — 2025-06-26

Purpose: to determine the total flavonoid content and seed germination characteristics in bioassay tests due to sorghum extracts' application at various drought stress levels. Extract materials were prepared from June to August 2024 at Bengkulu University Greenhouse, Kandang Limun Village, Bengkulu City, and bioassay tests were conducted in August 2024 at Pematang Gubernur, Muara Bangkahulu, Bengkulu City. Flavonoid analysis was performed at the Integrated Research and Testing Laboratory (LPPT) of Gadjah Mada University in August 2024. Methodology: This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with one factor. Two sorghum varieties, Super 2 and Mandau, were planted with water stress treatment through watering patterns every day, every 3 days, and every 5 days. The experimental unit was a petri dish, and the experiment was repeated four times. The Petri dish bioassay method was applied in this experiment.Each petri dish was given 10 mL of water extract, and 25 mung bean seeds were planted and incubated for three days. Results: The results showed that the Mandau variety had the highest total flavonoid content with watering every 3 days (3991.34 µg/g), and the Super 2 variety had the lowest total flavonoid content with watering every day (3165.26 µg/g). The highest germination inhibition was achieved by the sorghum variety Mandau with watering every 5 days. The treatment produced the highest inhibition on the test plants, so it has the potential to be the best bioherbicide. Findings: The Mandau variety has the highest total flavonoid content with watering every 3 days, and the Super 2 variety has the lowest total flavonoid content with watering every day. Novelty: This study provides insight into the total flavonoid content and seed germination characteristics due to the application of sorghum extracts at various levels of drought stress. Originality: This study offers a detailed analysis of total flavonoid levels and seed germination characteristics in bioassay tests. Conclusion: The Mandau variety had the highest total flavonoid content with watering every 3 days. The Mandau sorghum variety achieved the highest germination inhibition with watering every 5 days. Type of Paper: empirical research article.

Adoption Of Agricultural Technology Innovation In Indonesia: Challenges And Alternative Solutions

Filya Hidayati — 2025-06-29

Purpose: The adoption of agricultural innovations in Indonesia faces numerous challenges. However, with appropriate approaches, there is significant potential to improve both productivity and the welfare of farmers. This paper aims to analyze the key determinants influencing farmers’ acceptance of new technologies or innovations, as well as the factors that may accelerate their adoption. Methodology: This study employs a literature review approach, analyzing various sources including academic journals, reports, and statistical data related to innovation adoption theories and farmers' behavioral patterns. Results: The study identifies a complex interplay of factors that hinder the adoption of agricultural innovations among Indonesian farmers. Key barriers include limited access to relevant information, low digital literacy, high financial costs, mismatch between innovation characteristics and local conditions, inadequate agricultural extension services, and farmers’ dependence on traditional markets. Additionally, institutional weaknesses—such as poor coordination among government bodies, ineffective policies, limited infrastructure, and the exclusion of farmers from participatory processes—further exacerbate adoption challenges. These findings emphasize that technological solutions alone are insufficient; addressing adoption gaps requires systemic improvements in policy, support services, and farmer engagement. Findings: Reveals significant outcomes from the research that contribute new insights to the field of study. This can include innovations, discoveries, or previously unknown information. Novelty: This research introduces a comprehensive, multi-dimensional framework for understanding the barriers to agricultural innovation adoption in Indonesia by integrating technological, socio-economic, and institutional factors, rather than examining them in isolation. Originality: The study uniquely contributes to existing literature by synthesizing recent empirical evidence and theoretical insights to highlight context-specific challenges faced by Indonesian farmers, and by proposing actionable, collaborative strategies that link innovation design with local socio-cultural realities and policy reform—an approach rarely explored in previous studies on agricultural technology adoption. Conclusion: Addressing the challenges of agricultural innovation adoption requires collaborative efforts among stakeholders. Strategies should focus on improving access to information, providing financial support, tailoring innovations to local conditions, strengthening the role of agricultural extension agents, increasing farmer motivation, and developing partnerships and market access.
