Azizah Nurdiana from the Chemistry Study Program won 1st Honorable Mention in PKM-RE AMLI 2023.

Azizah Nurdiana, a Chemistry student at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (FPMIPA UPI), won 1st Honorable Mention in the Student Creativity Program (PKM) 2023 organized by the Indonesian MIPA LPTK Association (AMLI) in April-November 2023. Azizah Nurdiana raised the theme “Effect of Germination and UV Radiation on the Decrease of Okratoxin A in Peanuts as an Effort to Improve Food Safety”.

It is hoped that this research can contribute to improving food safety, especially peanuts, which are one of the important food commodities in Indonesia. The methods of germination and UV radiation can be applied by peanut producers and consumers to reduce health risks due to OTA. In addition, this research can be an inspiration for other researchers to develop more effective and efficient methods to detect and reduce OTA in other foods.

Hopefully, this achievement can be a motivation for other students in FPMIPA UPI to achieve even better achievements.
