Implementing this modification remains challenging and has yet to meet the expectations for bread quality (BQ). This research aims to propose a measurement model for assessing the effectiveness of modifications (NGC, NH, and CMR) on BQ. This research involved 45 bread companies in Indonesia, and the three modifications were attempted for application. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach, was employed for analysis. The findings indicate that the modified (NGC, NH, and CMR) variables did not directly contribute to a positive effect on BQ (T stat. <1.65; p >0.05). However, when mediated by Research and Development (R&D) the three modifications showed a positive impact on BQ, with respective contributions of 19.2% (NGC), 14.6% (NH), and 12.8% (CMR). R&D had a fairly strong influence (f 2 >0.35), and 28.2% (R 2) of its indicators were understood by NGC, NH, and CMR. The model's suitability was deemed satisfactory, with SRMR<0.07; GFI>0.36; and NFI>0.9. The original contributions of this research lie in providing practical recommendations for the widespread application of modified variables and proposing conceptual a framework for gluten-free bread modification with R&D mediation.

The purpose of this research is to a) measure the success of aflatoxin treatment in the preharvest, post-harvest, and Innovative Reduction of Aflatoxin (IRA) processes, b) measure the effect of pre-harvest (PRE) and post-harvest (POST) handling on standard control maize (SQC) with IRA mediation. The test method used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. Findings show that Innovative Reduction of Aflatoxin (IRA) is able to play a role as a mediation of activities in pre-harvest and post-harvest after continuous improvement is carried out in each of its activities. The originality of the research can be seen from the process of forming a corn aflatoxin control strategy as a practical recommendation for farmers in Indonesia.

Objectives: The research was a practical recommendation by comparing the effectiveness of raw materials (polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids) with the dipping and spray methods. Materials and methods used in the comparison process were the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. Results: Dipping has a strong effect (f2 ≥ 0.35; p<0.05), while spray had a moderate effect (f2: 0.15-0.35; p<0.05). Thus, the role of dipping as a mediator was more dominant than spray. Compared to proteins and lipids, polysaccharides had the best effectiveness (β:0.460-0.584; f2: 0.15-0.35; p<0.05). Conclusion: the three ingredients improved the quality of tomatoes, and the dipping method ...

Objectives: We compared the inhibitor effectiveness of three leaf extracts against Escherichia coli; we also identified the anti-bacterial substances contained in leaf extracts. Methods: We determined the bacterial test activity using the "agar diffusion" method and the thin layer chromatography (TLC) as qualitative analysis for determining the anti-bacterial substances contained in the extract. Results: The Pogostemon cablin leaf extract contained terpenoids, phenolic, and flavonoids compound as bacterial inhibitors, and the comparison showed that Pogostemon cablin leaf extract had the greatest bacterial inhibition power. Conclusion: The antibiotic substances found in the leaf extracts of Anredera cordifolia, Psidium guajava, and Pogostemon ...

In this study, the researchers used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The analysis showed that (a) CB was more effective in the utilization than CBA and (b) after comparing sub-groups of the CBA examined in this study, Cocoa Butter Substitute (CBS) was more effective than Cocoa Butter Replacer (CBR) and Cocoa Butter Equivalent (CBE). This study is a practical recommendation for the use of CBA so that it can be widely applied in the chocolate industry.

The method used is survey method. The study uses a positivist paradigm to see the effect of Lean manufacturing on operational performance. Testing used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) by the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. Finding of this study reveals that lean manufacturing practices have no positive effect on operational performance in Indonesian food industries. Meanwhile, the mediating role of Manufacturing Agility Competencies has succeeded in increasing the effect of Lean Manufacturing on operational performance. The originality of the research lies in the process of forming Manufacturing Agility Competencies as a strategy with a long process based on the experiences and observations made in food companies in Indonesia.
