Judul: Modifikasi dan uji teknis pompa pada mesin pemanen udang/ikan
Abstrak: Indonesia sebagai negara kepulauan memiliki potensi alam yang besar. Baik di daratan maupun perairan. Dengan potensi perairan yang besar maka pembangunan diarahkan pada pengolahan sumberdaya perairan. Berdasarkan data Statistik Perikanan Budidaya (2002) perkembangan ekspor udang Indonesia dalam kurun waktu 1998-2001 terus meningkat. Pada tahun 1998 volume ekspor udang Indonesia sebesar 142.116 ton dengan nilai US$ 1 milyar, pada tahun 2001 nilai ekspor udang mencapai US$1.07 milyar dan pada tahun 2002, 50% dari total nilai ekspor perikanan Indonesia berasal dari komoditas udang ini (sikitar 2 milyar US$)

Judul: Modifikasi dan Uji Fungsional Mesin Pemanen Udang Tipe Vakum
Abstrak: In Indonesia, the fishery commodities that can be developed are fish and shrimp. Fish and shrimp commodities is not only marketed in Indonesia but has been marketed overseas. So, the whole of the production process must be considered, one of them is harvesting that produced high-quality products. So far the harvesting process of fishery commoditiesin in Indonesia is still using the traditional method. The object of this research is to modify fish and shrimp harvester to produce an efficiency and effectiveness of harvesting machinery so that can be maintained the quality of fish and shrimp. Stages of this research are started from problems identification, analysis of the design, modification, and functional testing. Fish and shrimp harvester consist of vacuum pump and water pump. The functional aim of water pump is to suck commodities from the pond, where as and the vacuum pump is to maintain the vaccum condition inside the system. The results of this research obtained flow rate and suction velocity average are 1.84 l/s and 0.23 m/s in the tank 1. While in the tank 2, flow rate and suction velocity average are 1.63 l/s and 0.52 m/s respectively. At the end of this research, this modified fish and shrimp harvester is still not able to show good performance, and still need to conduct further research.

Judul: Penapisan Inhibitor Tirosinase pada Empat Spesies Famili Asteraceae Chrysantemum morifolium R, Gerbera jamesonii A, Dahlia rosea Cav, dan Tagetes erecta.
Abstrak: The research was conducted to screen the potency of tyrosinase inhibitor from 4 species of Asteraceae family. The screening was performed on the leaves and flowers of Chrysantemum morifolium R, Gerbera jamesonii A, Dahlia rosea Cav, and Tagetes erecta. The samples were dried and then extracted with nhexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. The inhibition activity was tested by a microplate reader spectrophotometer in 492 nm. The ethyl acetate extract of D. rosea Cav flower was the most potent tyrosinase inhibitor (IC50 for monophenolase 18.42 μg/mL and for diphenolase 687.79 μg/mL) compared with the other Asteraceae species. The most active essential oils as inhibitor of tyrosinase was obtained from T. erecta flower (IC50 for monophenolase 1882.62 μg/mL and for diphenolase 1884.33 μg/mL). Positive control used was kojic acid with IC50 value of 11.02 μg/mL for monophenolase and 84.19 μg/mL for diphenolase. Fractionation of the extract by preparative thin layer chromatography with chloroform as mobile phase gave 12 fractions. The most active fraction had IC50 of 5.55 μg/mL for monophenolase and 109.96 μg/mL for diphenolase, and was identified as flavonoid.
