Shaping Innovation for Global Food and Agricultural Challenges
Global challenges in food and agriculture, both scientific and technological, continue to demand bold ideas, cutting-edge innovations, and future-ready human resources. Higher education institutions play a strategic role in responding to these challenges by building strong foundations in knowledge, technology, and skills, while advancing adaptive, creative, and globally oriented mindsets.
The Agricultural Product Technology (THP) Study Program at the University of Jember is committed to developing excellent graduates and impactful research that contribute to sustainable food systems and agricultural innovation. We actively facilitate international exposure for our teaching staff and students through academic mobility, research collaboration, and overseas learning experiences at leading national and international universities. This global engagement strengthens adaptability, enhances academic quality, and drives innovation in teaching and learning amid rapid technological transformation.
Our study program conducts a wide range of innovative and competitive research addressing real-world challenges in food and agricultural technology. Beyond academic competition, we place strong value on knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the integration of diverse perspectives. We encourage industry practitioners, communities, and policymakers to benefit from and apply our research outcomes to create tangible societal impact. We firmly believe that high-quality research is a key instrument in combating hunger and advancing food security, in line with the mission of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Addressing global food challenges is a long-term endeavor. However, through strategic partnerships with food industries, research institutions, government agencies, universities, and other stakeholders, we are confident in our ability to deliver meaningful solutions. We warmly invite partners from around the world to collaborate with us through student exchange programs, joint research initiatives, community service projects, and other innovative academic activities.
Excellence is our priority. Collaboration is our strength. Innovation is our future.
Warm regards,
Lailatul Azkiyah, S.TP., M.P., Ph.D.

Congratulations to Miftahul Aulia, Dita Nova Kharisma, and Muhammad Rafli Ramadhan. They won a national student competition at Chemistry Festival (CHEMFEST) 2026 at the University of Hasanuddin. With the theme “Akselerasi Peran Generasi Muda dalam Penguatan Hilirisasi Industri Berbasis Sustainable Chemistry di Era Transisi Menuju Revolusi Industri 5.0”, they proudly presented “CocoSense: Pemanfaatan Selulosa Cocopeat dan Sensor Warna Alami Berbasis Antosianin dalam Pembuatan Kemasan Cerdas Ramah Lingkungan”. Among the five excellent teams for the final round, the CocoSense team, under the supervision of Muhammad Arga Hita, S.T., M.Sc., won second prize in the infographic category.
“Our idea is about the development of intelligent and eco-friendly packaging and how cocopeat can be used as a potent biopolymer,” says the team leader, Aulia, who is in term 6 of the THP program. Aulia and team selected cocopeat as it has 27% cellulose, 41% lignin, and good biocompatibility and applicability. In this sense, they tried to formulate it using an extract of Clitoria ternatea flowers because its color is pH-sensitive, making it suitable for monitoring the freshness of fresh tuna.
“The sensor color can change sensitively according to the freshness level of the tuna. At pHs 6.0-6.5, 6.6-6.8, 6.8-8, and 8.1-9, the colors turn into purple, blue, green, and yellow, respectively,” says Aulia. This idea inspired and motivated students and readers to learn about and research the potential of cocopeat in next-generation food packaging.
Congratulations on all the great awards!

We are incredibly proud to congratulate our third-year THP students, Halwa Khamulla Neilidya Prasetya and Aulia Zuli Az Zahra, who recently secured a highly competitive internship at BRIN Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta. This achievement marks a significant and highly connected network of THP UNEJ and BRIN. This internship is a full-time and fully funded program. This program offers the opportunity for students to further develop their research skills, including problem-solving, data analysis, and teamwork.
Started in February 2026, they will support BRIN’s pivotal research in seaweed utilization as prebiotics for over the next five months. Halwa, with her research topic “Potential Utilization of Seaweeds as Prebiotics in Improving the Quality and Nutritional Profiles of Fermented Sausage”, will be supervised by THP Lecturer Dr. Niken Widya Palupi S.TP., M.Sc., and co-supervisor from BRIN Selma Noor Permadi, S.Pt., M.Si. Aulia and her supervisors, Dr. Niken Widya Palupi S.TP., M.Sc. (THP Lecturer), and Dr. Teguh Wahyono, S.Pt., M.Si. (BRIN), will investigate “Seaweed Extraction Techniques, Prebiotic Analysis, and Application in Food Products”. In the dynamic research environment, Halwa and Aulia will also work together with other selected participants, as relevant and appropriate.
We are so proud of you and can't wait to see the upcoming impact you will make!
