Abstrak: In this study, the changes in quality of star fruits stored in low temperature was examined and the chilling induced of star fruits during storage period was examined by the changes in the rate of ion leakage. The quality of star fruits during storage was examined through the changes in respiration rate, firmness, total soluble solid, weight loss, ion leakage, and visual appearance daily. The sample of star fruits were stored at three different temperatures, i.e. 5 and 10 oC and room temperature. Ion leakage was determined by calculating the slope of percentage of total ion leakage with time. It was resulted that the peak of the rate of ion leakage for fruits stored at 5 ºC was found after 1 day storage. The increase in the rate of ion leakage indicates the chilling induced of cell membrane. This chilling injury caused the fruits has the quality lower than that fruits stored at 10ºC after period of time which was indicated by the lower total soluble solid.

Abstrak: Temperature is one of the major factors affecting the metabolism of postharvest products physiology. Agricultural products cooled at a temperature lower than the optimum temperature will be damaged, known as chilling injury. In addition to storing at low temperatures, one way to maintain the quality of agricultural products is coating. Aloe vera gel is one material that can be used as a coating on the surface of fruits. Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola L.) has shape like a star. Star fruit marketing prospects in this country is estimated to become better and better. This is caused by population growth and the increasing number of consumers realizing the importance of nutrition from fruits. Quality of fruits can not be repaired, but can be maintained. Postharvest process of star fruit should be given appropriate handling attention, because the quality of the star fruit depending on harvest time and the postharvest process. The purpose of this research to study the application of aloe vera coating with 100% concentration on the star fruit stored at low temperatures to reduce of chilling injury symptoms. The results showed that star fruit with aloe vera coating treatment 100% stored at a temperature of 50C has a resistance to cold temperatures, showed by the chilling injury symptoms being longer better than the untreated fruit (control). Aloe vera treatment of star fruit effectively reduces the increase of ion leakage, and can also reduce weight loss, while does not give effect to the reduction of respiration.

Judul: Peranan Pesantren dalam Pembangunan Pedesaan
Abstrak: Pesantren (pondok atau pondok pesantren) adalah suatu lembaga pendidikan keagamaan Islam yang pada umumnya tumbuh di kalangan masyarakat pedesaan. Pertumbuhannya merupakan hasil refleksi pimpinan pesantren dan masyarakat terhadap kebutuhan masyarakat sekitar. Disamping sebagai lembaga pendidikan keagamaan, diharapkan pesantren dapat berperan sebagai lembaga sosial kemasyarakatan yang dapat membantu pemerintah dalam menyebar luaskan inovasi pembangunan kepada masyarakat, dan menggerakkan masyarakat agar berperan serta dalam pembangunan.
