One potential natural source of beta-carotene is pumpkin (<em>Cucurbita moschata</em> D.). This study aimed to determine the beta-carotene content in pumpkin flesh powder using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), formulate it as an active ingredient in clay mask preparations, and evaluate the physical characteristics of the resulting formulations. The results showed that the beta-carotene content in pumpkin flesh powder was 5.306 mg/g. The samples showed retention times relatively close to that of the beta-carotene standard, with retention times of 6.143 and 6.115 minutes, while the standard showed a mean retention time of 6.180 minutes. The pumpkin flesh powder was then formulated at three concentrations: F1 (1%), F2 (1.5%), and F3 (2%). Physical evaluation showed that the three formulations had relatively similar organoleptic characteristics, were homogeneous, and had pH values of 6.15, 5.40, and 5.47, respectively. The drying times of F1, F2, and F3 were 15 minutes 43 seconds, 19 minutes 20 seconds, and 21 minutes 27 seconds, respectively. Viscosity testing showed a decrease in viscosity with increasing RPM, indicating a tendency toward pseudoplastic flow behavior. Based on these findings, pumpkin flesh powder has potential as an active ingredient in clay mask formulations.</p> Dewi Rahma Fitri Fatria Fajar Fatria Fajar Zahra Zahra Syafei Syafei Hidayat Hidayat Komarudin Komarudin Sjahid Latief Sjahid Latief Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-08-04 2026-08-04 7 2 01 17 10.62702/iontech.v7i2.191 https://iontech.ista.ac.id/index.php/iontech/article/view/188 <ol start="64"> <li>Schlumberger Geophysics Nusantara is a leading multinational company providing integrated technology and services to the oil and gas industry in Indonesia. The company relies on the cloud-based DELFI platform to support its operational activities. This high dependence on information technology (IT) systems creates various operational risks that require systematic management. This study analyzes IT operational risk management using the ISO 31000:2009 framework through a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through structured interviews with the Project Manager and Account Manager of the Digital &amp; Integration Division. Risk assessment was conducted using a likelihood × impact matrix on a 1–5 scale. The results identified 14 IT operational risks, with 9 risks (64.29%) classified as High and 5 risks (35.71%) classified as Moderate. The highest-rated risks were DELFI system downtime, cyberattacks, and data breaches, each with a risk score of 20. The ISO 31000:2009 framework provides a structured approach for identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing risk treatment to support the continuity of the company's IT operations.</li> </ol> Yogi Kamal Andi Al-Ghifari Muhammad Afdhal H Fajar Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-08-16 2026-08-16 7 2 18 28 10.62702/iontech.v7i2.188
