The Agrotechnology and Bioproduct Technology Scientific Groups also carry out various innovative product developments based on extensive research results. This product development is also carried out through collaboration with bioindustry actors in various fields.
Bio-N Propolis
Development Team: Dr. Muhammad Yusuf Abduh, Mochamad Firmansyah, S.T., M.Si
Bio-N Propolis is a propolis extract solution product produced by stingless beesTetrogonula spp.extracted with three variations of vegetable solvents, namely peanut oil, olive oil and grape seed oil. Bio-N Propolis products have high flavonoid content and antioxidant activity so that they can be utilized as supplements to help boost the body's immunity, accelerate the healing process of diseases, and as raw materials for beauty treatments by accelerating cell regeneration and delaying the aging process on the skin. Bio-N Propolis products should be used 12 months after the production date and can be stored at temperatures below 40°C and avoid direct contact with sunlight.

MOTIVE
Development Team: Dr. Muhammad Yusuf Abduh, Dr. Robert Manurung, Dr. Ramadhani Eka Putra
Modular Tetragonula Hive (MOTIVE) is a beehive design innovation that can trigger stingless bees to produce more propolis than ordinary beehive boxes. The advantage of MOTIVE lies in the propolis ram that allows engineering propolis production and increasing the productivity and quality of the resulting propolis extract. MOTIVE's modular design makes it practical to harvest propolis without disassembling the hive, by replacing the propolis-filled ram with an empty ram, allowing propolis to be harvested repeatedly without disturbing the stingless bee colony and maintaining the hygiene of the harvested propolis.
