Owen Pratama, Billy Tanius, Ni Ketut Veri Kusumaningrum — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 09:19:36 +0000

Entil is a unique traditional Tabanan dish made from rice wrapped in Kalingidi leaves, then boiled for 4-5 hours. This specialty food is primarily known to residents of Pupuan and Penebel sub-districts and is traditionally prepared during special occasions such as Ulihan and Nyepi rituals. Beyond its cultural significance, entil represents an untapped potential for culinary tourism development in the region. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method to explore the meaning and philosophy of entil in depth while examining its potential as a culinary tourism attraction. Data sources are divided into primary and secondary data, with collection techniques including literature studies, interviews, and direct observation. Data analysis focuses on qualitative information from literature and interviews using narrative and discourse analysis. The research applies Roland Barthes' food evolution/structuralist theory to understand the formation of philosophical meanings that reflect symbolic and ritual values in food. The results indicate that entil embodies three primary meanings: historical significance, cultural identity, and potential for creative economy development through culinary tourism. In the philosophy of the Tabanan people, entil is believed to be an offering to God during the Ulihan ceremony and is considered a "souvenir" for the god Pitara/ancestors when returning to heaven. This research also highlights how entil can serve as a unique selling proposition for culinary tourism in Tabanan, contributing to sustainable tourism development while preserving local culinary heritage.

Innovation Of Orange Into Candy In Batu Kaang Village, Kintamani, Bali

Billy Tanius, Heru Pramudia, Iwan Surjawan — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 09:23:03 +0000

Batukaang Village in Kintamani, Bali, is renowned for its high-quality Kintamani oranges (citrus reticulata), known for their unique aroma and flavor. However, marketing efforts largely focus on fresh fruit, resulting in underutilization of surplus or downgraded oranges rejected for size, shape, or color. This surplus, especially during peak harvests, leads to price drops and reduced farmer income. This study addresses the issue by developing a value-added product, Kintamani orange jelly candy as an innovative souvenir aligned with Bali's culinary tourism. Using a qualitative descriptive method and simple experimental design, three gelling agents (seaweed agar, cornstarch, and commercial jelly powder) were tested to find the best formulation for taste and texture. Sensory evaluation by 70 untrained panelists measured preferences across seven attributes: chewy and soft texture, taste, aroma, color, shape, and aftertaste, using a five-point hedonic scale. Product C, made with commercial jelly powder, was most preferred for its soft, chewy texture and pleasant flavor and aroma, though improvements in shape and color were needed. Product A received moderate acceptance, while Product B rated lowest in all categories, indicating a need for reformulation. The findings highlight the potential of Kintamani orange jelly candy as a strategy to reduce fruit waste and enhance the economic value of local produce. It also offers a promising new culinary souvenir to promote Batukaang Village within Bali’s tourism sector. Further research is recommended to refine formulations, broaden market reach, and evaluate commercial feasibility on a larger scale.

This study fills the gap in the literature by developing a classification of conflicts based on actors and issues, and highlighting forms of community resistance, both overt and symbolic. The findings reinforce the urgency of tourism planning based on social justice and inclusive participation for long-term sustainability.
