Ganeyeast
Development Team: Intan Taufik, Ph.D., Jayen Kriswantoro, M.Si.
Ganeyeast is a fermentation starter for the post-harvest process of coffee which is developed from yeast isolates that are naturally found in coffee cherries. There are several yeast variants isolated and developed, each packaged specifically for the area of origin of the isolate, namely the islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali and Sulawesi. The use of fermentation starter can minimize the risk of post-harvest failure; produce a more consistent product; and also enhances the distinctive taste of the coffee fruit by helping to produce flavor and aroma precursors. This starter can be used in various post-harvest methods, such as natural, wet or hybrid. This product is in dry form, so it can be stored longer and sent to farther places

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)
Development Team: Prof. Dr. Pingkan Aditiawati, Dr. Dea Indriani Astuti
The VCO produced by the SITH-ITB development team has undergone a fermentation process to obtain virgin coconut oil which contains short to medium chain fatty acids. VCO products with controlled fermentation (standardized) have many benefits that have also been tested, such as: accelerating cell regeneration, accelerating wound healing, containing antioxidants which play an important role in human health.

Synbiotic Feed (Pakan Supplementasi Sinbiotik)
Development Team: Prof. Dr. Gede Suantika, Dr. Magdalena Lenny Situmorang
The feed with synbiotic supplementation produced by the SITH ITB development team contains probiotics, i.e. Halomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. as well as red algae prebiotic Kappaphycus alvarezzi and microalgae Spirulina sp. Synbiotic feed products can increase the growth and survival of shrimp, as well as resistance to bacterial infections including those caused by Vibrio sp. The use of synbiotic feed can be an alternative disease control strategy in achieving an environmentally friendly and sustainable shrimp industry with high productivity,
