Judul: Effect of nanoencapsulation on the sensory, physicochemical, and functional quality of Java Tea Base Functional Drink
Abstrak: This study aimed to determine the effect of nanoencapsulation on the physicochemical and functional qualities of functional drinks based on Java-tea. Polysaccharide C nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method using compound D as crosslinker. The initial experiment was conducted to obtain particle size below 300 nm with low polydispersity index and suitable flavor. Polyssaccharide C nanoparticles-drink was then analyzed for its physicochemical and functional qualities. The result showed that the polyssacharide C nanoparticles-drink had z-average diameter size 223.4 nm, polydispersity index 0.183, and zeta potential 18.28 mV which had significantly effect on physicochemical and functional of functional drink based on Java-tea compared to non-nanoparticles-drink (increasing pH value (3.94), total dissolved solid (4.5 obrix), refractive index (1.3395), viscosity (17.83 cP), lightness (L=71.75), hue (a=-2.47), hedonic rating (5.27 of 9 scale), sweetness (11.28 of 15 scale), foam volume 415 ml; decreasing particle size, polydispersity index, saturation (b), the intensity of sourness, and bitterness). Measurements of antioxidant activity and inhibition of α-glucosidase by utilizing in vitro method might not shown a credible result. Polyssacharide C nanoparticles showed as a potential capability to improve functional drink based on Java tea.

Judul: Antihyperglycemic activities of functional drink based on java tea (Orthosiphon aristatus BI. Miq) in streptozotocin induced diabetic mice
Abstrak: Diabetes is a group of diseases marked by high levels of blood glucose resulting from defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Diabetes can lead to serious complications and premature death. Antioxidant compounds in functional drinks such as flavonoid may offer some protection against the early stage of diabetic mellitus and the development of complications. The objective of this study was to investigate the antihyperglycemic effects of functional drinks based on java tea with different variety of java tea (white and purple flowers) and addition ginger extract in functional drink formulas on streptozotocin induced diabetic mice. These results indicated that the administration of functional drinks thats added java tea with white flowers and ginger extracts in diabetic mice can inhibit a more stable the increasing of blood glucose level and its can inhibited the rate of pancreatic beta cells damage. TLC profile and HPLC analysis show that the bioactive compounds in the extract ingredient are sinensetin, 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, 10-gingerol, 6-shogaol, curcumin, desmethoxycurcumin, brazilin, hesperidin and naringin.

Judul: Theileriosis pada domba dan kambing akibat infeksi theileria ovis dan theileria hirci
Abstrak: Theileriosis adalah penyakit menular yang disebabkan Boleh protozoa dari genus Theileria dan ditularkan melalui vektor caplak. Theileria ovis dan Theileria hirci pernah dimasukkan dalam genus Gonderia sehingga penyakit yang disebabkan oleh penyakit ini mempunyai beberapa nama diantaranya Benign Ovine and Caprine Gonderiosis atau Benign Ovine and Caprine Theileriosis (disebabkan oleh infeksi Theile- ria ovis). Sedang yang disebabkan oleh infeksi Theileria hirci diberi nama Malignant Ovine and Caprine Gonderiosis Malignant Ovine and Caprine Theileriosis (Levine, 1961). Soulsby (1982) dan Jensen (1983), memasukkan Theileria hirci dan Theileria ovis dalam genus Theileria, famili Theileriidae, ordo Piroplasmida, subklas Piroplasmia dan dalam kelas Sporozoa. Menurut hasil pemeriksaan theileriosis pada domba dan kambing di Indonesia periode 1 April 1981 sampai 31 Maret 1982 di Propinsi Sumatera Barat di Daerah Tingkat II Pasaman Kecamatan Talamun ditemukan pada 2 ekor kambing kacang, Kecamatan Sungai Beremas ditemukan pada 3 ekor kambing kacang dan di Daerah Tingkat II Padang Pariaman, Kecamatan Pariaman ditemukan pada 1 ekor kambing kacang (Informasi Keswan, 1982). Daerah penyebaran Theileria ovis yang pernah dilapor- kan adalah Afrika Tengah, Afrika Barat, Afrika Timur, Afrika Selatan, Perancis, Jerman, Hongaria, Sardinia dan diduga India. Sedangkan penyebaran Theileria hirci meli- puti Afrika Utara, Eropa Selatan, Irak dan Turki. Bentuk Theileria ovis dan Theileria hirci pada domba dan kambing dalam eritrosit disebut piroplasma dan bentuk dalam limfosit disebut Koch bodies atau skizon. Bentuk dalam vektor caplak adalah zigot dan kinet. Di dalam eritrosit parasit ini mempunyai beberapa macam bentuk yaitu, bentuk bulat, oval, batang, bentuk buah pir atau koma dan bentuk seperti anaplasma. Bentuk dalam limfosit berupa skizon yang terdiri dari makroskizon dan mikroskizon. Penularan Theileria ovis dan Theileria hirci dari hewan satu ke hewan lain secara alam dilakukan oleh vektor caplak secara stage to stage. Vektor dari Theileria ovis adalah caplak dari genus Rhipicephalus, Dermacentor, Hae- mophysalis dan Ornithodorus. Sedangkan vektor dari Thei- leria hirci yaitu caplak dari genus Rhipicephalus dan di- duga Ornithodorus. Penularan secara buatan dapat dilakukan dengan cara mekanik (penyuntikan dengan aplikasi intravena, subkutan dan intraperitoneal)…dst
