Milk Caramel Candy Quality by Added Sugar and Red Ginger (Zingiber officinale var rubrum)

Caramel candy or toffee is a confectionery product made from basic sugar, glucose syrup, milk, fat, and salt ingredients. Sugar plays a role in the formation of brown color and caramelization, while the addition of red ginger acts as a flavor enhancer for caramel candy. The reaction results in the production of melanoid and antioxidant compounds. It also affects the taste, texture, aroma, and appeal of caramel candy. This research aimed to analyze the effects of the use and interaction of sugar and red ginger on antioxidants, organoleptic tests, and color L*, as well as chemical (reducing sugar and water content) changes in caramel candy products. This research design used a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern, with factor A adding sugar (0, 5, 10, 15) %; factor B adding red ginger juice (0, 2, 4, 6) %. This research shows that sugar and ginger juice can increase the A* color value, ginger taste, caramel taste, color, ginger, and caramel aroma. Meanwhile, increasing sugar and ginger juice can reduce the L* color value, antioxidant activity, and water content. Adding 15% sugar and 4% red ginger juice is the best for making red ginger juice.

Indonesia Carbon Credit Trading: Economic Opportunity or Environmental Liability?

On the 26th of September 2023, the 7th President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, officially inaugurated the launch of the first carbon credit trading platform of Indonesia, IDXCarbon. The launch of this carbon credit trading has marked another stepping stone of Indonesia to its commitment to combating climate change and further strengthening its position in the global environmental conservation arena. The aim of this article is to critically evaluate the potential opportunities and benefits of the carbon trading scheme in Indonesia through the lens of Environmental Economics theory, while also assessing the potential challenges through the scope of Political Ecology theory . This article employs Environmental Economics theory in analyzing how the establishment of a carbon trading market presents potential benefits in addressing greenhouse gas emissions by implementing economic value in carbon reductions. The carbon trading adoption in the environmental policy framework in Indonesia aims to encourage low-carbon economic practices and innovations across various sectors. On the contrary, this article will also provide a critical examination towards the adoption of carbon trading in Indonesia through the lens of Political Ecology theory. Political Ecology theory will highlight the underlying power relations across state, private actors, local communities, and international stakeholders that raise skepticism regarding the credibility, governance, and the actual environmental impact of the carbon trading scheme in Indonesia. Furthermore, Political Ecology theory focuses on the potential challenges, such as fair implementation and preventing the marginalization of vulnerable communities involved in carbon trading practices. Overall, the establishment of a carbon trading market in Indonesia through IDXCarbon marked a revolutionary step in Indonesia’s commitment to combat climate change. Through the comparative analysis of the potential opportunities and challenges in regards to the adaptation of carbon trading in Indonesia, this article argue that the adaptation of carbon trading in Indonesia requires a robust regulatory and environmental ethical framework in order to balance the potential benefits presented by the framework while mitigating the potential challenges that can further hinder the overall benefits of carbon trading

Water Quality Analysis Using NDTI and TSS Parameters Based on Sentinel Image Data in Jakarta Bay Waters

This study investigates the spatial variability of water quality in Jakarta Bay using remote sensing techniques, focusing on turbidity and sediment levels. The research employs Sentinel-2A satellite imagery processed through Google Earth Engine (GEE) and utilizes two key parameters: the Normalized Difference Turbidity Index (NDTI) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Jakarta Bay, a shallow marine area in northern Jakarta, is significantly affected by urban runoff, industrial waste, and other anthropogenic pressures. Five observation points were selected to represent different environmental conditions and levels of human influence. The analysis revealed distinct variations in water quality. Point 1 exhibited the highest turbidity (NDTI = 0.21) and TSS (46.81 mg/L), indicating a heavy presence of suspended particles likely due to upstream discharge and shoreline activity. Point 5 showed the lowest turbidity and TSS values, suggesting clearer water and minimal pollutant input. Interestingly, point 3 had the highest turbidity (NDTI = 0.23) but the lowest TSS (23.49 mg/L), reflecting the presence of fine particles that increase light scattering but contribute less to sediment mass. The use of satellite-based indicators proved effective in identifying spatial differences in water quality across Jakarta Bay. This approach offers a cost-efficient, large-scale monitoring method that supports environmental assessment and planning. The results underscore the impact of local factors on water conditions and demonstrate the importance of combining turbidity and sediment metrics. Ultimately, this study provides valuable insights to guide targeted water management strategies and contributes to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6: ensuring clean water and sanitation for all

Figurative Language and Its Emotional Impact in YOASOBI\u27s The Book 1 Lyrics: A Semantic Approach

This study analyses the use of figurative language in The Book 1 album lyrics by YOASOBI through a semantic approach. Figurative language, including metaphor, personification, simile, and hyperbole, is crucial in enhancing song lyrics\u27 emotional depth and artistic expression. This research explores how these figurative elements contribute to meaning-making and emotional engagement in the songs. A qualitative descriptive-analytical method focused on semantic analysis of selected lyrics. The data consist of seven songs from the album The Book 1, which were analysed through document analysis to identify patterns of figurative language. Each instance of metaphor, personification, simile, and hyperbole was categorized based on its linguistic structure and contextual function within the lyrics. The findings reveal that metaphors in YOASOBI’s lyrics establish strong symbolic imagery by connecting abstract concepts with concrete objects. Personification is used to attribute human qualities to non-human entities, intensifying emotional resonance. Simile explicitly compares two distinct elements to clarify feelings, while hyperbole amplifies emotions to create dramatic effects. These devices collectively enrich the meaning of the lyrics, allowing listeners to experience a deeper emotional connection to the songs. The study concludes that YOASOBI’s use of figurative language enhances their music\u27s aesthetic and emotive aspects, making their lyrics more impactful and immersive
