Judul: Pengaruh Perendaman dengan Berbagai Konsentrasi Sodium Polifosfat dan Suhu Pengeringan dengan Fluidised Bed Dryer Terhadap Kualitas Nasi Cepat Saji
Abstrak: Masyarakat di Indonesia sebagian besar mengonsumsi beras setiap ban Menurut Adair (1972), padi merupakan salah satu tanaman pertanian yang penting dan diproduksi hampir eli semua benua. Hal ini ditunjang oleh kenyataan bahwa 60% penduduk dunia mengonsumsi beras dalam bentuk nasi dan hanya sebagian kecil yang mengolahnya menjadi produk lain. Penelitian yang dilakukan ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari cara pembuatan nasi cepat saji dengan prosedur penyajian yang sederhana tanpa memerlukan banyak tahapan dan dengan waktu penyajian nasi cepat saji kurang dari 5 menit.

Judul: Pengaruh Pengeringan Terhadap Mutu Nasi Uduk Instan
Abstrak: Rice is the staple food for most of Indonesian. The production of rice increases every years. In 2010, the production of rice was about 65,98 billion ton,while consumtion of rice is 139,5 kg/capital/ year. Based on these data, the development of rice product is a potential market. Nowadays many people do not have much time to prepare their food. Instant food is commonly choosed by the modern people. Quick cooking rice methods have been commonly used since 1970, but their products are not popular in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to produce a quick cooking rice with special taste native to West Sumaterae, called “nasi uduk”. The preparation involves soaking, cooking (gelatinizing) and drying using fluidized bed dryer.This research was focused on to find out the optimum drying conditions or treatment to produce the good quality of quick cooking rice. This research used three different drying treatments, namely A,B, and C treatment which were based on combination of time and temperature history. It was found that the optimum of drying method was the A tratment. In the A treatment, the rice was freezed for 24 hours at -20°C. After that, rice was dried for 30 minutes at room temperature and then increased the temperature strart from 40°C, 60°C, and 80°C for 10 minutes in each temperature. This method resulted in a good acceptance from panelists.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
