The study was conducted using an experimental method with two treatments and three replications. Analysis of cocoa butter consisted of yield, color, moisture content, free fatty acids, iod numbers, peroxide numbers, determination of fatty acid profile using GC-MS, and analysis of sensory properties. The results showed that the yield was between 20.82-21.00%. The color of fermented cocoa butter has a value of L* 17.88, a*8.70, and b*7.99 while for nonfermented cocoa butter has a value of L* 14.88, a* 8.96, and b* 6.78, water content between 0.10-0.12%, free fatty acids 0.51-0.56%, iod numbers 26.40-26.50 g I2/100g, peroxide numbers between 0.40-0.70 meq peroxide/kg fat, 190.23-191.40 mg KOH/g fat. The fatty acid profile using GC-MS showed that the dominant fatty acid constituents contained in fermented and nonfermented cocoa fats are oleic acid (29.39-29.57%), heptadecanoic acid (25.85-26.77%), and palmitic acid (21.49-21.83%). Based on sensory analysis of cocoa butter with fermented treatment is preferred because it has a more attractive color, taste, and aroma compared to nonfermented cocoa butter.","PeriodicalId":221566,"journal":{"name":"AJARCDE | Asian Journal of Applied Research for Community Development and Empowerment ","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128533236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tilapia has the potential to be used as an export commodity in the form of fish fillets and the price is relatively cheap. The climate situation and the extent of freshwater fishing land are contributing factors in the development of tilapia cultivation in Indonesia. One of the efforts to increase efficiency and productivity in cultivation is fish spawning activities. Spawning activities are important for producing seeds or larvae. Female fish are 300 to 400 g and for males, 400 to 500 g, aged 5 months. Tilapia can colonize weighing 250 g and age 4 to 6 months, meaning the parent used in this study has been following the required. The maintained parent is a healthy, unformed, and complete morphological parent (SNI 01-61412009). The purpose of this study is to improve the quality of Tilapia fish seeds produced by the Mina Ayu Group of Tabanan Regency of Bali Province by a selective breeding method. Male and female tilapia broods are kept separately in hapa measuring 5x5x1m. In shelters, for the acceleration of gonad maturation before the fish are stocked in the spawning pond. The feeding given during maintenance is 2 to 3%. Individual selection methods can improve the quality and survival rate of tilapia fish larvae.

The need for water continues to increase, but the availability of clean water continues to decrease. Efforts to preserve important water sources are made to meet current and future water needs. Hindus in Bali have long practiced water resources conservation and managing water quality through various forms of local wisdom. Local wisdom is passed down through generations of routine activities in daily life. Water as a gift because it gives life is placed as a holy one which is then referred to as holy water or tirta. The use of tirta in various ceremonial activities causes Hinduism in Bali to be often identified with tirta religion. For Balinese people, water is a symbol of Vishnu which is a manifestation of God as the preserver of world life. Positioning water as a sacred thing has the meaning of obligation to maintain the quality and quantity of water to be maintained. Positioning the water source as a sacred area is also a form of effort to protect the springs to avoid pollution. The ceremony of mendak tirta and mendak toya became a form of local wisdom on the procedures of water use and efficient use of water.
