Indonesia is a major coffee producer with government initiatives targeting the increased demand for Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica). However, Indonesia is a tropical country, which is ideal for the growth of Ochratoxin A (OTA) producers like Aspergillus and Penicillium. OTA is a food safety risk due to its potential for nephrotoxicity and carcinogenicity at high exposure levels. There is sti…
SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic, prompted rapid vaccine development. However, emerging variants challenge antibody-mediated protection. Targeting T-cell immunity is promising due to its crucial role in eliminating infected cells and the difficulty of viral evasion via HLA diversity. Despite this potential, there is a lack of HLA studies and SARS-CoV-2 epitope mapping in the I…

This study investigates the potential of T-cell-mediated immunity in combating SARS-CoV-2, given the concerns about the high mutation rate in the virus's S protein and its potential impact on vaccine efficacy. The prevalent HLA class II alleles in the Indonesian population, namely HLA-DRB1*12:02, HLA-DRB1*15:02, and HLA-DRB1*07:01, play a crucial role in presenting viral peptide antigens to the…
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants is primarily attributed to mutations in the S protein, diminishing the efficacy of existing vaccines that aim to generate antibodies against this S protein. As antibodies become less efficient, T cell-mediated immune response becomes essential in eliminating the virus. Three predominant HLA Class II alleles in the Indonesian population; HLA-DRB1*12:02, HLA-D…
The COVID−19 pandemic has been going on for three years, and research on preventive and curative measures is continuously being made. Belonging to the same coronavirus family, human common cold coronaviruses (CCCs) like 229E, NL63, HKU1, and OC43 have been around for decades. However, unlike SARS−CoV−2, they do not manifest serious signs and symptoms. Reports on T−cell cross−reactivit…
The COVID-19 global pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been going on for almost two years and has negatively impacted the global population. The same as other viruses, SARS-CoV-2 is continuously mutating to adapt to the environment, and this may result in negative impacts, such as an increase in virus transmission, virulence, and even resistance to vaccines. Hence, questions regarding whether th…
This research project addresses the challenge of food waste at Hangry Indonesia, a cloud kitchen restaurant. Focusing on rice, a staple in their menu, the study aims to create a sustainable system to reduce food waste when sales fall short of targets. Additionally, the project explores the impact of reheating frozen rice on texture, specifically addressing issues such as browning and hard…
Plant-based milk alternatives have been given increasing importance by consumers in recent years due to their concerns towards the health, environment, and dietary lifestyle of cow’s milk. No prior study has explored the factors influencing the consumer behavior towards plant-based milk alternatives (PBMAs) within a unified framework. Therefore, this study attempts to predict the factor affec…
Multiple myeloma (MM) presents as a significant public health challenge in Indonesia due to their high incidence and mortality rates. Due to its heterogeneous genetic landscape which plays a crucial role in determining patient prognosis, personalised treatment strategies need to be employed. This highlights the importance of the identification of genetic aberrancies in multiple myeloma patients…
Unsupervised machine learning as a part of machine learning is an algorithm that identifies available information without any guidance or supervision in a form of clustering. When producing clustering analysis, obtaining optimized data is crucial. Missing values, zero values, inappropriate data input and outliers can affect the overall analysis of the dataset. Data cleaning tools in the data cl…
This internship project aims to evaluate the microbial quality of coffee milk during its production at Jago Coffee. The project employs the Total Plate Count (TPC) and Methylene Blue Reduction Test (MBRT) to assess bacterial load and microbiological activity. The TPC results obtained for the cooling and filling & sealing processes comply with the SNI (Standar Nasional Indonesia) standards, …
Traditional or herbal medicine has been extensively employed in society, and Calophyllum inophyllum is renowned for its broad therapeutic action in handling a number of disorders. As a result, the present study intended to figure out the compounds detected in the ethanolic extract of Indonesian C. inophyllum seeds. The seeds of Indonesian C. inophyllum were crushed and were macerated using …
SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is still ongoing in Indonesia, and multiple variants are identified to emerge along the progress. Study of vaccines found out that the newer variants had mutations within the target sites of currently available vaccines, especially on the spike region of the genome, thus reducing most vaccines effectiveness. Thus as precaution for possible future mutation, a multi-epitope va…
Background – PT. Etana Biotechnologies Indonesia is planning to produce recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO). After the production process, the residue determination shall be conducted to check the presence of residue preventing cross-contamination between batches. The study will focus on EPO residue determination where the swab method will be optimized to determine the residual amount of…
Cultured meat is a novel eco-friendly product which currently face specific challenges such as consumer behavior which were influence by knowledge and attitude & belief. Therefore, this research aims to assess the consumer knowledge, attitude & belief, and behavior towards cultured meat. The assessment of demographic characteristics, consumer knowledge, attitude & belief, and behavior were cond…
Indonesia has a rich variety of indigenous traditional fermented foods that are spread throughout all regions of the country. However, the strikes of fast foods and the rapid flow of globalization could potentially lead to the degradation of interest towards Indonesian traditional fermented foods (ITFF), especially for the young adults. To develop well-tailored approaches for the need of co…
