Judul: Pengurangan Penyerapan Minyak dengan Tepung Pragelatinisasi Selama Deep Fat Frying
Abstrak: Oil uptake of fried food is quite high during deep fat frying. Pregelatinized flour is one of ingredient that can reduce oil uptake. The aim of this research is to know the effect of pregelatinized flour on oil absorption. Pregelatinized flour can produced by rice cooker, extruder and drum dryer. In this research, water content, water holding capacity, and birefringence characteristic is analysed. Besides, fat content of donuts is measured by soxhlet method. The highest reducing oil uptake to the lowest is 50% pregelatinized flour by drum dryer, 50% pregelatinized flour by extruder and 50% pregelatinized flour by rice cooker. The highest percentage of reducing oil uptake using pregelatinized flour by drum dryer is 33.70%. The highest disruption of birefringence characteristic and water holding capacity of pregelatinized flour can reduce oil uptake

Judul: Desain dan Uji Penggoreng Open Deep Frying dengan Perubahan Posisi Elemen Pemanas
Abstrak: Deep frying is one of the oldest ways in food cooking. Everyone is like deep frying product because it has a color, taste, and typical flavor. Fat content and acrylamide in food is the problem of deep frying product which depends on frying time. Reduce frying time will reduce fat content, arylamide in food, and energy consumption. Frying time depend on the height of oil frying in fryer and heating element position. This new fryer design aimed to reduce frying time through the partly change of heating element position to the top of fryer. The result from calculation in this design have provided minimum of oil height in fryer 35 cm, power of fryer 6 kW, fryer diameter 34 cm, volume of oil frying 33 l, and total height of fryer 50 cm. Power of heating element on the top of fryer 1,5 kW and at the bottom of fryer 4,5 kW. There are two kind of heating element which used in this new fryer design i.e. 3 kW and 1.5 kW with Watt density 3,1 W/cm2 and 6,28 W/cm2 respectively, both of the values were met the requirement of low Watt density less from 10 W/cm2. Fryer performance test divided into three stages. Potato is used as a material fry test of this new fryer design. The result of the preliminary test showed that the vertically temperature differential is higher on new fryer design than old fryer design. The higher of vertically temperature differential cause the increase of the Rayleigh number. First performance test showed that the center temperature of product in new fryer design is faster 2 minutes in reach 105 co from the old fryer design. Second performance test showed that the frying time on new fryer design is shorter in 2 minutes from the old fryer design. Fat content in french fries from new fryer design is lower 5.78 % from the fat content in french fries from old fryer design. We save 0.2 kWh in used of the new fryer design in one frying process.

Judul: Perancangan Lanskap Memorial Park di Gampong Ulee Lheue, Kota Banda Aceh Berbasis Wisata Tsunami dan Mitigasi Bencana
Abstrak: Taman Memorial atau Memorial Park merupakan suatu taman yang dibangun untuk mengenang suatu kejadian atau peristiwa besar seperti tragedi perang, aksi militer, bencana alam, seperti gempa bumi dan tsunami yang menelan korban jiwa. Pada tahun 2004 terjadi gempa bumi dan tsunami yang sangat dahsyat melanda kawasan Pasifik dan sekitarnya. Indonesia merupakan negara yang terkena imbas paling besar dari bencana ini, khususnya di wilayah perairan Aceh bagian barat, karena secara geografis paling dekat dengan pusat gempa penyebab tsunami. Bencana tersebut tidak hanya menelan ratusan ribu jiwa, tetapi juga menimbulkan kerusakan fisik di wilayah Aceh. Wilayah pesisir yang mengalami kerusakan fisik yang paling parah diantaranya adalah Gampong Ulee Lheue di Kota Banda Aceh. Pemerintah telah melakukan upaya rekonstruksi pasca-bencana, antara lain: menetapkan Ulee Lheue sebagai gampong (kampung) tanggap bencana dan area wisata Tsunami. Hal ini dimaksudkan agar dapat membantu meningkatkan sektor wisata dan sebagai upaya mitigasi bencana. Tujuan dirancangnya Lanskap Memorial Park selain untuk menghormati para korban tsunami juga sebagai sarana kontemplasi (perenungan) sekaligus sebagai sarana rekreasi dan wisata. Perancangan Lanskap Memorial Park dapat dinilai sebagai suatu upaya integrasi antara sektor wisata dengan mitigasi bencana di Gampong Ulee Lheue. Dalam perancangannya mengusung konsep yang berbeda dengan taman pada umumnya, yaitu mengintegrasikan nilai historis tapak dengan kebutuhan masyarakat terhadap wisata. Dalam penelitian perancangan Lanskap Memorial Park ini, metode yang digunakan adalah analisis spasial dan deskriptif. Metode ini dilakukan melalui pengamatan langsung, studi pustaka, wawancara dan kuesioner. Hasil akhir dari penelitian ini adalah rencana tapak (siteplan) dan gambar detail (gambar tampak potongan, rencana penanaman, dan gambar perspektif).
