Judul: Implication of the existence of invasive alien species-waterhyacinth and its biocontrol agent,  neochetina spp. (Coleoptera: curculionidae), on  aquatic plant and insect communities.
Abstrak: ntroduction of invasive exotic plant in a local ecosystem may result in changes of plant communities and insect diversity. The objective of the research is to study the implication of the existence of invasive spec ies-waterhyacinth on plant and insect communities.

Judul: Study Invasive Alien Insects and Plants Species in Indonesia.
Abstrak: Agricultural Quarantine Agency (AQA) is developing a duty to prevent the entry and spread of invasive alien species in Indonesia. This study was conducted to analyze the potency of alien species listed in quarantine pests, introduction intentionally through import, and introduction unintentionally through contamination of imports plant products to become invasive and quarantine pest, its revenue through import intentionally, and unintentionally income through contamination of plant products imports. This is done to make an inventory of invasive alien species, to know the character of invasive and existence in Indonesia. This study has focus on the species of insects and plants. Data were obtained from the inventory insects and plants listed as quarantine pests, sampling of imported agricultural and forestry products such as seed or non-seed to detect and identify contaminant species, the results AQA interception in 2010-2011, collection of interception at Agricultural Quarantine of Tanjung Priok Sea Port and Soekarno Hatta Air Port, as well as survey of plants to the nursery in Jabodetabek and Karawang. In addition, the data of imported living plants, seeds and non-seeds in 2010-2011 BARANTAN were also analyzed. All data were compared to the list of invasive species in Global Invasive Species Database (GISD). The dentified that were listed in GISD were classified as invasive species, and then were studied their bioecology, historical invasion, and impact. Species that are not included in the list of GISD performed invasive potential of information retrieval. The results showed that 12 species of insects and 3 species of weeds listed in the quarantine pests could be classified as invasive species. Five species as contaminants of imported products were invasive insect species and 37 were found plants. The invasive insects Agrilus sulcicollis and Megacyllene robiniae not exist in Indonesia and are not listed in the quarantine pests and GISD. Five of invasive plants which are not exist in Indonesia were Cirsium vulgare, Cirsium arvense (quarantine pest A1 category), Centaurea melitensis, Lepidium virginicum, and Melilotus albus. Introduction invasive alien plants were imported and the results of survey there are 18 invasive plants species of GISD. One of 18 plants species is known as quarantine pest A2 category (Asystasia gangetica subsp. micrantha). The invasive alien species that do not exist in Indonesia can be used as target material monitoring and revision is a list quarantine pest. Management of invasive species in the pre-border needs to be improved by making the target invasive species inspection, increased expertise of identification, improvement of the quality standards of imported products, and the acceptance of the application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures as well as.

Judul: Formulasi dalam Pengembangan Produk Roti Manis di PT. Fits Mandiri, Bogor
Abstrak: Roti adalah makanan yang telah dikenal luas dikalangan masyarakat Indonesia karena roti dapat diproduksi sesuai dengan selera dan daya beli konsumen. Kualitas roti ditentukan dari jenis bahan baku yang digunakan dan caralproses pembuatannya. Kualitas bahan baku yang baik dan proses pembuatan yang benar akan menghasilkan roti dengan kualitas yang baik pula. PT. FITS Mandiri dibentuk pada Mei 2000 dengan produk komersil yang pertama adalah roti. Selama magang di PT. FITS Mandiri, kegiatan-kegiatan yang dilaksanakan adalah lnengikuti aktivitas produksi, mengadakan survey pengembangan produk barn, formulasi produk, serta mengadakan uji organoleptik dan uji pasar. Dari hasil survey pengembangan produk barn, isi roti yang paling banyak dinginkan responden adalah keju (14,57 %) dan cokelat (13.52 %) dengan ukuran roti sedang, bentuk roti lonjong dan wama roti yang cokelat mengkilat. Parameterparameter yang menjadi pertimbangan dalam mengkonsumsi roti manis yang dianggap sangat penting adalah rasa (88,52%), harga !46,67%), kegunaan (39,88%), penampakan (39,73%) dan ukuran (34,87%). Parameter-parameter yang dianggap penting adalah tekstur (43,24%) dan merek (34,69%). Bentuk dianggap tidak terlalu berpengaruh terhadap penerimaan organoleptik (biasa saja) yaitu 34,81%. Untuk meningkatkan penerimaan konsumen, selama formulasi produk dilakukan penggunaan bahan-bahan baru. Bahan-bahan yang digunakan adalah RBS (Refined Butter Substitute) dan lemak putih Top Bake yang menggantikan penggunaan shortening. Digunakan juga emulsifier-emulsifier barn seperti Ryoto Ester SP, Quick-75, Sponge-28, improver S-500 dan SSL (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate). Untuk menghasilkan wama roti coklat mengkilat dan merata digunakan Bakers Shine dengan merek Ovex. Untuk meningkatkan cita rasa dari roti, dilakukan penambahan flavor vanilla dan butter. Dari hasil uji organoleptik dihasilkan formula terbaik berdasarkan penilaian panelis yaitu formula dengan menggunakan Prime margarin, emulsifier Ryoto ester SP, dengan penambahan flavor butter. Formula ini selanjutnya digunakan dalam uji pasar dan dijual di outlet kantin Sapta, FATETA. Hasil uji pasar menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata penjualan roti hasil survey pengembangan produk (roti "besar") masih dibawah rata-rata penjualan roti standar Fits ("roti kecil"). Hal ini diduga disebabkan karena terlambatnya waktu produksi (produksi roti "besar" dilakukan setelah roti "kecil" selesai diproduksi), kurangnya kegiatan promosi serta kurangnya variasi isi roti.
