Formulation, Quality Characteristics, and Research Trends of Fish Balls: A Bibliometric Study
Fish balls are a processed fishery product that is gaining increasing attention due to their nutritional value, affordability, and acceptance across various consumer segments. This article presents a synthesis of recent research findings on the formulation, physicochemical properties, texture, sensory testing, and nutritional content of fish balls. The study results indicate that the addition of fish protein isolate (CPI/FPI), transglutaminase enzymes, and natural fillers such as tapioca, konjac, and porang can increase water holding capacity, cooking yield, and product elasticity. However, there are trade-offs in color and aroma changes that can affect consumer acceptance. Nutritionally, fish balls have been shown to have a higher protein content and a better amino acid profile than meatballs made from red meat, and have the potential to be a source of omega-3 fatty acids and functional minerals. Bibliometric analysis shows a growing research trend since 2018, although gaps remain in method standardization, the relationship between microstructure and sensory perception, and evaluation at the MSME scale. Thus, further research needs to be directed at an integrated approach that connects instrument analysis, sensory testing, and quality predictive models to support innovation, standardization, and application of research results on an industrial and MSME scale.
Application of Ribbon Quilling Sakura Flower Embellishment on Daytime Party Dress as a Center of Interest
This study aims to explore the application of ribbon quilling technique as a decorative element in fashion design, focusing on cherry blossom motifs applied to a daytime party dress. Quilling, originally a 17th-century European paper craft, is adapted using grosgrain ribbon to create flower-shaped ornaments with a soft and elegant visual character. The novelty of this research lies in the use of ribbon-based quilling as an alternative approach for decorating formal wear, which has been scarcely explored in fashion design practice. This study employs a practice-led research approach through four main stages: exploration, design, realization, and evaluation. The exploration stage involves gathering visual references and adapting the quilling technique to the characteristics of grosgrain ribbon; the design stage includes sketch development and ornament placement; the realization stage covers the creation and application of quilling on the dress; and the evaluation stage is conducted based on the principles of unity, balance, and proportion by a fashion design expert. The results demonstrate that ribbon quilling technique can enhance the aesthetic value of formal wear by combining handcrafted skills with contemporary design approaches. These findings open opportunities for further development in accessories, costumes, and bridal wear, as well as contributing to fashion education and the preservation of handcraft-based decorative techniques.
The Effect of Fixator Type on the Color Fastness of Cotton Fabric Dyeing with Mango Leaves Extract (Mangifera indica L.)
The effect of different fixatives—alum (Al₂(SO₄)₃·18H₂O), ferrous sulfate (FeSO₄·7H₂O), and lime (Ca(OH)₂)—on the color fastness of cotton fabric dyed with natural dye extracted from mango leaves (Mangifera indica L.) was investigated. The dyeing process involved boiling fresh mango leaves, applying multiple dyeing cycles, and subsequent fixation treatments. Color fastness to washing (ISO 105-C06) and wet rubbing (ISO 105-X12) was evaluated using the gray scale, and data were analyzed with the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s post-hoc test. Results showed that fixative type significantly affected wash fastness (p = 0.018), with lime providing the highest mean rank, followed by alum and ferrous sulfate. In contrast, fixative type had no significant effect on wet rubbing fastness (p = 0.264). These findings indicate that alkaline fixation with lime enhances wash durability of mango leaf dyes, while wet rubbing resistance is less influenced by fixative selection. This study supports the potential of mango leaf extract as an eco-friendly dye source and provides insights for optimizing mordant selection in sustainable textile dyeing applications.

Community Acceptance of Tempeh-based Artificial Meat for Food Accessibility Solutions
Climate change is becoming a global issue that increasingly affects various sectors worldwide, including infrastructure development in Indonesia. The livestock sector contributes to significant greenhouse gas emissions and impacts global warming from large amounts of animal waste. The increasing demand for red meat has made the price of meat expensive, causing inequality in food consumption. The disparity of consumption certainly requires a new solution to this euphoria, considering that the number of emissions produced by ruminant cattle farming is many times higher than soybean or rice crops. Plant-based mock meat is the right solution as an alternative to animal meat because it can reduce the demand for red meat in the market, which will reduce livestock gas emissions that can trigger climate change. Local plant-based mock meat can realize sustainable accessibility due to its availability and ease of obtaining it. This study aims to determine the level of formula and public acceptance of mock meat made from tempeh flour as a solution to realize food accessibility in reducing red meat consumption. The method used in this research was experimental by conducting a comparative trial of public acceptability of the four products studied with the control codes F10%, F20%, and F30%. Data analysis and processing techniques were carried out with One Way Anova Ranks, Kruskal Wallis method, and Dunn's further test. The results showed that the acceptance of panelists as many as 42 people gave the highest average favorability score and the overall selection was the experiment code F30% with a mean value of 4.6 which is close to the assessment of very like compared to other development products.
