Judul: Pengujian Aktivitas Antibakteri Ekstrak Tempe Koro Pedang (Canavalia ensiformis L.) terhadap Escherichia coli dan Staphylococcus aureus
Abstrak: Tempeh is a fermented food product usually made from soybean fermented by Rhizopus sp. The objectives of this study were to compare jack bean tempeh characteristics against soybean tempeh and to determine antibacterial activity of jack bean tempeh against Escherichia coli dan Staphylococcus aureus using well diffusion method. The tempeh extraction was conducted by methanol extraction following freezing to separate fatty compound. Characteristic of jack bean tempeh and soybean tempeh were different in moisture content, colour (L and a), and tenderness. The differences in moisture content and tenderness were caused by the difference of soaking time. The colour of jack bean tempeh and soybean tempeh were different because of the beans’s colour. The result showed that jack bean tempeh extracts did not have antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Meanwhile, methanol extracts of soybean tempeh from laboratory and market were showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus (7.0 mm and 8.9 mm); but did not have antibacterial activity against E. coli.

Judul: Aktivitas Inhibisi Enzim Pengubah Angiotensin pada Hidrolisat Tempe Koro Pedang (Canavalia ensiformis L.) secara In Vitro
Abstrak: Tempe is one of the processed food that has ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) inhibitory activity. This study aims to measure the activity of ACE inhibition in jack bean in vitro. Proximate analysis used AOAC method (2005) and hydrolyzed by gastrointestinal simulation (GIS) digestions, and then tested the degree of hydrolysis by Benjakul & Morrissesey modification method. Measurement of ACE inhibitors, based on the rate of formation of hippuric acid from substrate hippuryl-L-histidyl-L-leusine (HHL). Proximate analysis showed fat value of jack bean is lower than soybean and carbohydrate value is higher than soybean. Degree of hydrolysis (DH) of tempe from jack bean showed good results which amounted to 10.62% for crude tempe and 16.24% for steamed tempe. Of the IC 50 values obtained, crude tempe 50% more effective at inhibiting the activity of ACE by 0.26 mg/g sample. However, for the steamed tempeh also obtain poor results, because of the results obtained IC50 1:11 mg/g sample.

Judul: Pembuatan Film Tipis Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3) Menggunakan Metode Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) dengan Variasi Kecepatan Putar (Rpm).
Abstrak: Film tipis merupakan salah satu aspek yang mendapat perhatian sangat besar dalam bidang material, karena film tipis merupakan material menarik yang memiliki sifat optik yang sangat tergantung pada konstanta dielektrik, indeks bias, dan energi gap. Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3 ) dapat digunakan sebagai pelapis pada film tipis karena memiliki sifat piezoelektrik, electrooptical, pyroelectrical dan photorefractive yang sangat baik. Film tipis Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3 ) ditumbuhkan menggunakan metode Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) dengan variasi kecepatan 3500 rpm, 5000 rpm, 6500 rpm, dan 8000 rpm. Metode ini memiliki keunggulan dapat mengontrol stokiometri film tipis dengan kualitas yang baik, prosedur yang mudah dan membutukan biaya yang relatif murah. Energi band gap yang dihasilkan dari film tipis Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3) berkisar antara rentang 2.1 eV – 2.8 eV dengan indeks bias berada pada rentang 2.18-3.2. Film tipis LiNbO3 memiliki parameter kisi a=b=5.54Ǻ dan c = 16.35 Ǻ. Struktur morfologi film tipis adalah permukaan yang homogen dan ukuran kristal berada pada rentang 0.417 μm – 0.680 μm.
