Shallot (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum) is a horticultural plant that holds significant economic value and therapeutic potential. This study aims to examine the potential of shallots as an immunomodulatory and anticancer agent based on a literature review of various experimental studies. The main bioactive compounds in shallots, such as quercetin, flavonoids, saponins, and sulfur-containing compounds, have been shown to modulate the immune system and inhibit cancer cell growth. As an immunomodulator, shallot extracts have been found to enhance phagocytic activity, stimulate immune cell proliferation, and balance the Th1/Th2 immune response. On the other hand, its anticancer activity is realized through cell cycle inhibition, apoptosis induction, and cytotoxic effects on various cancer cell types, including breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer. This review was conducted by analyzing experimental in vitro and in vivo studies published between 2014 and 2024. The synthesis results indicate that shallots hold strong potential as a supportive therapy for immune-related diseases and cancer. However, further clinical trials and toxicological studies are needed to confirm their efficacy and safety as a natural-based therapeutic agent.

The growth of the snack food industry in Indonesia encourages MSME actors to innovate in improving product competitiveness, including through packaging development. UMKM Nambawang, as a producer of fried shallots, faces challenges in packaging design that lacks visual appeal and does not reflect the product’s identity, despite its superior taste quality. This study aims to design more functional, economical, and competitive fried shallot packaging by integrating the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Value Engineering (VE) methods. QFD is applied to translate consumer needs (voice of customer) into technical packaging attributes, while VE is used to evaluate the performance and cost-efficiency of design alternatives. The analysis results indicate that key attributes prioritized in packaging development include color aesthetics, product protection, ease of opening and resealing, clarity of product information, and storage convenience. These main attributes are translated into technical elements such as the use of standing pouches, zipper locks, full-print designs, added onion illustrations, and complete product information. The application of QFD and VE methods results in a mockup visually appealing, functional, and durable packaging design, enhancing the product’s added value based on consumer needs and increasing its competitiveness in the domestic market.

Technology is now increasingly advanced and developing rapidly. Almost every aspect of human life is now assisted by technology, especially computerized technology. This technology has penetrated almost all aspects of life and significantly increased efficiency in completing work. With the existence of computerized technology, many processes that were previously time-consuming and labor-intensive can now be done more quickly, easily, and efficiently. One example of the application of technology in everyday life is the design of a smart cupboard for storing shallots. This smart cupboard is designed to help shallot farmers and sellers store their agricultural products more efficiently. The working system of this tool is similar to the method of storing shallots in traditional huts, but with more sophisticated technology. This smart cupboard can regulate temperature and humidity automatically, which is very important to maintain the quality of shallots. The optimal temperature for storing shallots is between 25º - 30º C, with air humidity around 50% - 60%. If the temperature or humidity in the cupboard does not match the desired conditions, the system will automatically activate the lights and fans to return the temperature and humidity to the desired level. With this automated control system, shallots can be kept fresh for longer, reducing the damage that typically occurs to shallots due to unstable temperature or humidity. The advantage of this smart cabinet is that it can maintain the quality of shallots for a long time, even when stored in large quantities. This greatly assists farmers and traders in reducing losses due to perishable shallots and increasing the efficiency of shallot storage and distribution.
