Judul: Pemanfaatan produk nata de coco untuk pembuatan bahan pemantap
Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat kemungkinan penggunaan Nata de coco sebagai bahan pemantap. Peneli- tian dilakukan dengan menggunakan percobaan faktorial yang disusun dalam Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan ulangan dua kali. Yang menjadi perlakuan yaitu suhu proses (0°C, 10 dan 20°c) dan waktu inkubasi (0,3,6 dan 9 hari). Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan sure proses dan lama inkubasi serta interaksi kedua pergakuan tersebut memberikan pengaruh yang nyata dap derajat substitusi, kadar CMC, kadar garam, natium glikolat, kadar NaOH dan viskositas dari perantap yang dihasilkan. Interaksi perlakuan terha- kadar produk suhu proses dan lama inkubasi tidak memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap viskositas. Derajat substitusi terendah terdapat pada interaksi perlakuan suhu proses 20°C dan waktu inkubasi 0 hari yaitu 0,51%. Derajat substitusi tertinggi pada interaksi perlakuan suhu proses 10°C dan lama inkubasi 6 hari yaitu. о 0,66%. DST ...

Judul: Optimalisasi Produksi Nata De Coco Mentah Pada PT Galuh Pratama Kabupaten Ciamis Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Nata de coco Is a food product yielded from natural coconut water process fermentation by entangling bacterium of acetobacter xylinum, so that form the lump bromassa cosist of cellulose owning solid form, white chromatic. At the height of society awareness for the importance of health result the nata de coco become one of health product which a lot of enthused by society. This research to analyse the optimalisation of product the raw nata de coco at PT. Galuh Pratama, Ciamis, West Java. Make up of amount of request nata de coco not yet can be served maximally by company because of resource constraint owned. Optimal planning require to be conducted by company because expense limitation, asses to sell product and also sum up product produce also have an affect on to effort conducted by company to get the maximum advantage. Method of data processing use LINDO program to know wether company have productive at optimal condition or not, comparing result of advantage actual optimally and also see the change that happened at change of availability of resource and expense to production and company acceptance.

Judul: Dog Ticks Infestation and Its Correlation to Tick-Borne Diseases.
Abstrak: Ticks infestation on dog could lead to itchiness, anemia, skin disorders, and tick-borne diseases, such as Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Anaplasmosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Besides dogs, Ehrlichiosis were known to be zoonotic. Pre-mature stage tick life cycle that occur outside its host, will enhance contacts between ticks and human. The study of ticks infestation and tick-borne diseases on the dog is necessary, because it has not a lot of information about the diversity, prevalence and degree of ticks infestation in Indonesia. Ticks survey, included ticks sampling and dogs blood test were performed at Animal Police Directorate Security Agency (Baharkam) and Atang Sendjaja Air Force (ATS). Meanwhile ticks sampling also data of cases of ticks infestation and diseases transmitted obtained from 21 veterinary clinics in Bogor, Jakarta and Bandung. All ticks samples stored in bottles containing 70% alcohol for identification. Blood tests performed for Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis and Anaplasmosis diagnosis. The identification results of the 950 ticks samples that obtained from 97 dogs of Baharkam, ATS and veterinary clinics in Bogor, Jakarta and Bandung, showed only one ticks species, Rhipicephalus sanguineus. This ticks belong to three-host tick, which require three hosts to complete its life cycle. Each ticks stage need a host, either same dog (if it is in place there is only one or a few dogs), as well as different dogs. Research in Baharkam conducted on 81 dogs (53 males and 28 females). The prevalence of dogs infested by ticks was 67.90%. The percentage of male dogs that infested by ticks are larger (69.81%) than female (64.29%). Based on Chi-Square test, there was no relationship between sex and breed of dog with degree of ticks infestation. Generally dogs infested with mild infestation category (41.98%), meanwhile moderate category was 18.52%, 2.47% high and 4.94% very high. The dog’s body region that the most infested by R. sanguineus was dog's back. Probably these body regions were be preferred because they are less accessible for the dog to remove them with its paws. Collection of ticks with tick-drag on Baharkam grass field showed positive results on the field that was more often used to practice by dogs. The samples that obtained was larvae stage ticks with density 152 larvae on 215m2 area of the field. Adult stage ticks and several adult females which laying eggs on the cage wall were obtained in the dog kennels. Whole of male and female ATS dogs infested with ticks (14 dogs). In general, dogs infested with very high infestation category was 64.29%, compared by high degree category (21.43%) and moderate (14.29%). Ticks predilection were found mostly on the dog’s head – neck. On ATS grass field did not reveal any ticks, but positively inside the kennels. It happens probably because dogs are rarely released from the kennel, so that the ticks was did drop-off inside the kennel. The total cases of ticks infestation of dogs at Bogor, Jakarta and Bandung veterinary clinics in 2008 until June 2013 as many as 731 cases. In general, there was an increases of the ticks infestation prevalence at three cities in that range
