Judul: Karakteristik Dadih dengan Bahan Baku Susu dan Starter yang Berbeda
Abstrak: Dadih merupakan salah satu susu fermentasi yang berasal dari Sumatra Barat yang dibuat dengan cara menuangkan susu kerbau segar ke dalam batang bambu dan diinkubasi pada suhu ruang selama dua hari. Pengembangan dadih di Indonesia menghadapi beberapa kendala, terutama dalam hal ketersediaan susu kerbau. Hasil ternak perah lain seperti susu sapi dan kambing berpotensi untuk menggantikan susu kerbau. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari karakteristik dadih yang dibuat dari dua jenis susu (susu sapi dan kambing) dan tiga jenis starter yang berbeda (Starter dadih, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus plantarum+Lactobacillus rhamnosus). Hasil analisis ragam menunjukan bahwa susu dan starter yang berbeda tidak mempengaruhi (P>0.05) kadar protein, kadar air, kadar abu, dan total plate count dadih, namun starter yang berbeda berpengaruh nyata (P<0.05) terhadap kadar lemak dan total bakteri asam laktat (BAL) serta berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0.01) terhadap aktivitas daya hambat terhadap Escherichia coli, viskositas, pH, dan total asam tertitrasi. Jenis susu yang berbeda tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0.05) terhadap aktivitas daya hambat terhadap E. coli, viskositas, dan kadar lemak dadih namun berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0.01) terhadap total BAL, pH, dan total asam tertitrasi. Dadih susu sapi dan kambing yang dihasilkan memiliki kualitas nutrisi yang tidak berbeda nyata dan dadih yang dihasilkan dengan starter campuran (L. plantarum+ L. rhamnosus) memiliki jumlah BAL, viskositas, dan aktivitas daya hambat terhadap E. coli yang nyata lebih tinggi dibandingkan dadih dengan starter tunggal.

Judul: Pembuatan Starter Kering Bakteri Asam Laktat dan Pengaruhnya terhadap Karakteristik Dadih Susu Sapi yang Dihasilkan.
Abstrak: Dadih is a traditional food from West Sumatera resulted from natural fermentation of buffalo milk. This natural fermentation process involves a number of microorganisms, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The presence of gram negative bacteria that are pathogenic can become an obstacle to get safe and healthy food product to consume and easy in the marketing of products, due to the security aspect is less reliable. The processing through a more controlled fermentation process using lactic acid bacteria starter without involving the bacterial pathogens are expected to improve the quality of the resulting dadih. The provision of culture with the preservation in the dry form will facilitate the handling of starter cultures, so that the fermentation is more controlled and the product quality is more assured. Besides that, the availability of dry starter cultures will facilitate the distribution and transportation of starter cultures because dry starter cultures can be sent for long distances without losing the activity of Lactic acid bacteria and have a long storage. Raw materials used in the manufacture of dadih in West Sumatera derived from buffalo milk. The availability of buffalo milk is very limited, that, the alternative used is cow modified with skim milk and jelly therefore it is expected produce Dadih which has the characteristic similar with dadih from buffalo’s milk. This study aimed to verify the making of dry starter of lactic acid bacteria (the combination Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus casei also Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus casei) and its effect towards the characteristic of resulting cow’s milk dadih. Various analytical results indicate that the interaction of combinations of lactic acid bacteria starter and concentration of dried starter powder of lactic acid bacteria significantly affect to the pH value and moisture content of dadih. interaction of a combination of lactic acid bacteria starter and dried starter powder concentration of lactic acid bacteria did not influence significantly to the value of titrable acid total, viscosity, ash content, and the total amount of lactic acid bacteria in dadih. Friedman test results showed that the assessment of panelists for color, aroma, taste, texture, and general acceptance of dadih was not significantly different. Based on weighting method for the determination of the best dadih products, showed that dadih fermented by a combination of starter S. thermophilus: L. casei (1 : 2) as much as three grams of powder has the highest weight value. Thus, the recommendation of the best dadih product is dadih product fermented by a combination of starter S. thermophilus : L. casei (1: 2) as much as three grams of dried starter powder. Microbiological test results showed that the lowest total lactic acid bacteria contained in dadih products, that is 8.4 x 109 CFU/ml. Thus, the dadih is eligible as fermented milk for the minimum amount of total lactic acid bacteria ranged 106-109 CFU/ml (Sari, 2007).

Judul: The Solution of Nonlinear Volterra Integral Equation using Linearization Method.
Abstrak: Many natural phenomena can be explained by mathematical models. One of those models is in the form of Volterra integral equation, which is usually nonlinear. Analitically, a nonlinear form is difficult to solve. Therefore, this research is aimed to discuss solution of Volterra integral equation using linearization method. Linearization is done to nonlinear integrand with Taylor series expansion. According to this linearization, a numerical solution of Volterra integral equation is obtained using MATLAB 7.0.1 software. Validity of this method is tested by comparing the approximate with the exact solution. The result of this research shows that the numerical solution agree with the exact solution quite well.
