Judul: Seaweed Cellulose Microfiber Aerogel: Application  of Active Packaging Material to Absorb Carcinogenic Polycyclic Aromatic  Hydrocarbon Compounds in Smoked Fish
Abstrak: Polisiklik aromatik hidrokarbon (PAH) pada ikan asap cenderung mencapai tingkat yang tinggi bahkan melebihi batas maksimum, dan berpotensi sebagai senyawa karsinogenik. Aerogel sebagai alternatif ideal untuk menyerap senyawa PAH dan membuka peluang baru melalui pengembangan kemasan aktif. Penelitian bertujuan menentukan karakteristik aerogel mikrofiber selulosa dari rumput laut dengan teknik pengeringan berbeda dan aplikasinya sebagai material kemasan aktif penyerap senyawa karsinogen polisiklik aromatik hidrokarbon pada ikan asap. Metode berfokus pada pembuatan dan penentuan karakteristik aerogel mikrofiber selulosa dari rumput laut Sargassum sp. menggunakan freeze drying dan dehydrator serta efektivitas penyerapan senyawa PAH pada ikan asap. Aerogel mikrofiber selulosa dari rumput laut melalui freeze drying memperlihatkan keunikan struktur 3D berpori dengan ukuran 16,250 nm, sedangkan dengan dehydrator cenderung memiliki struktur yang padat dengan ukuran pori 12,081 nm. Aerogel mikrofiber selulosa dari rumput laut secara umum cukup efektif dalam menyerap senyawa PAH, yaitu anthracene., Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in smoked fish tend to reach high levels, even exceeding the maximum limit, and have the potential to be carcinogenic compounds. Aerogel is considered an ideal alternative to absorb PAH compounds and opens up new opportunities through the development of active packaging. This research aims to determine the characteristics of cellulose microfiber aerogel from seaweed using different drying techniques and its application as an active packaging material to absorb polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon carcinogenic compounds in smoked fish. The method focuses on making and determining the characteristics of cellulose microfiber aerogel from seaweed Sargassum sp. using freeze drying and dehydrator and the effectiveness of absorption of PAH compounds in smoked fish. Cellulose microfiber aerogel from seaweed through freeze drying shows a unique 3D porous structure with a size of 16,250 nm, whereas with a dehydrator it tends to have a dense structure, but has a pore size of 12,081 nm. Cellulose microfiber aerogel from seaweed is generally quite effective in absorbing PAH compounds, including anthracene.

Abstrak: Active packaging is one of the technique that can be developed to prolong shelf-life; enchance safety or sensory properties while maintaining the product quality. Active packaging is a packaging teclmique where the packing material has an active interaction with the product. One example of the active packaging is antimicrobial (AM) film with garlic extract as the AM agent. Fish ball was choosen in this research as a product for application of AM film, since it is a perishable product. Generally, fish ball used chemical preservatives to prolong its shelf-life. The preservatives sometimes off course can cause the health problems. Garlic is believed had capability against such bacterial growth of E. coli, S. typhimurium and S. aures. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectivity of AM film base on carrageenan and agar-agar againts E. coli, S. typhimurium and S. aures. Further more this research is also dedicated to find the quality of fish ball coated by AM film during storage at different temperature. This research was consist of three steps: (i) product on AM of film, (ii) investigating the activity of AM film against microorganism growth, (iii) analyzing product quality during storage.

Judul: Query Expansion based on Bilingual Dictionary Using Conditional Probability
Abstrak: Query expansion is a technique that can be used to bridge vocabulary gaps between queries and documents in the collection. With query expansion, user will be helped to formulate queries well so that user will optimize the search result. In this study, the expansion term was resulted from the translation of bilingual dictionary. Subsequently, several terms of expansion were elected based on the closeness of its relationship with the original query. This research showed that conditional probability can be used to select expansion term in bilingual translation method query expansion. The result of 1000 documents was more than 97% relevan document can be retrieved by this system. The more expansion term used, the larger number relevan document was retrieved.
