Thanks to the phenolic compounds and acetic acid in the smoke powder, it has antimicrobial effects and can be used as an alternative to food preservatives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of liquid smoke powder from durian rind as a chicken meatball preservative through organoleptic analysis (aroma, texture and colour). Spray drying was used to convert durian rind liquid smoke into smoke powder, and two types of bacteria, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium, were used to test the antibacterial properties of the smoke powder. Organoleptic test data were analysed using the SPSS version 16 and one-way ANOVA, followed by the least significant difference (LSD) test. The results of antibacterial tests on the E. coli and Salmonella bacteria indicated that the smoke powder had an inhibition zone of 10.55 ± 1 and 8.130 ± 12 mm, respectively. The organoleptic evaluation of aroma, texture and colour suggested that the meatballs could be preserved for 64 h. Meanwhile, the pH test results indicated that the meatballs could only be stored for 60 h.

However, this condition has not been able to make a real contribution to regional economic growth and to overcome poverty problems in Aceh. This study aims to examine the dimensions of sustainable patchouli farming and its implications for poverty alleviation. This study employed a descriptive explorative method by a case study approach, which focuses on patchouli farmers who engage in a small-scale plantation business in Aceh Jaya, Aceh Province by field observation, in-depth interviews focused group discussions. This study found that the economic condition of the community has stagnated to grow well, even though the performance of patchouli productivity is relatively good. Several crucial issues in patchouli farming practices show a pattern that illustrates the weak support for strengthening the community's economy....

In addition, the effect of PVP concentration (1-4%) was investigated to prepare membranes with better membrane antifouling performance and characteristics. Furthermore, functional groups, morphological structures, and membrane porosity were analysed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and membrane porosity calculation. The surface SEM images revealed that the size of the modified membrane pores increased. The increase of the PVP concentration added, resulted in the number of modified membrane pores. FTIR spectra confirmed that PVP functional groups were dispersed in the PVDF membrane matrix. Optimum pure water permeability (PWP) of 60 L/(m2•h•bar) was achieved using 3% PVP, resulting in a humic acid rejection percentage of 80% and a water flux recovery ratio (FRR) of 85%. These findings indicate that the utilization of PVP as a pre-forming agent resulted in higher PWP, lower humic acid rejection, and good antifouling properties.
