This research investigates the effect of adding active ingredients such as butterfly pea flower extract and eggshell powder on the physical and chemical properties of smart biodegradable film packaging. The butterfly pea flower extract was prepared by mixing dry butterfly pea flowers with water in ratios of 0 (without butterfly pea flowers, as a control), 1:250, and 1:125. The eggshell powder was added in concentrations of 0%, 0.15%, and 0.3% (w/v). The result shows that the addition of active agents affected the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), tensile strength, and elongation of the film. The addition of eggshell powder did not have any significant effect on the total phenol content, anthocyanin content, and antioxidant activity. The smart biodegradable film packaging produced in this study showed total phenol values ranging from 237,8858-907,1768 mg GAE/100 g sample, total anthocyanin content 0.1045-2.3512 mg cy-3-glu eq/100 g sample, antioxidant activity 5,1198-54.8475%, WVTR 60,5826-91,3325 g/m2/24 hours, tensile strength 2,615-8,479 N/mm2/24 hours, and elongation 1,437-43,360%. The results of this study show that the smart biodegradable film packaging developed can be used as an indicator to monitor changes in the quality of steamed chicken meat during storage.

The increasing number of motor vehicles in Indonesia produces repetitive mechanical loads on road surfaces that are rarely converted into useful energy. This study designs and evaluates a piezoelectric energy-harvesting speed bump intended to support low-power street lighting. The prototype integrates 25 piezoelectric discs (50 mm diameter) connected in series, an AC–DC bridge rectifier, a 2.7 V/500 F supercapacitor for short-term storage, and a DC–DC step-up converter to charge a 12 V battery. Field tests used a motorcycle at speeds of 5, 10, and 15 km/h with rider masses of 48, 70, and 79 kg; each condition was repeated ten times and averaged. Output voltage, current, and electrical energy per pass were measured after rectification. Results indicate that higher speed and mass increase electrical output, with a peak energy of 0.021 J at 15 km/h and 70 kg and an estimated conversion efficiency of about 0.20%. After repeated charging cycles, stored energy powered a 12 V/20 W LED lamp for several minutes. The proposed integration of series piezoelectric elements with supercapacitor buffering and step-up regulation demonstrates a feasible micro-energy harvester for traffic-dense areas and provides a basis for durability and scaling studies. Future work addresses packaging, fatigue, and multi-vehicle loading.
