Judul: Pembuatan Edible Tray Berbahan Dasar Tepung-Tepungan Lokal
Abstrak: Edible tray is a storage for sauces which able to be eaten after it used. The objectives of this research are: (1) to observe the effect of corn flour addition and variation of oil or fat to the chemical and physical characteristics of wafer and, (2) to determine the most preferred wafer by consumers. The wafers are cooked using two heated steel plates. Edible tray produced from mocaf flour and corn flour by using wafer cooking method has characteristic similar with rich fiber biscuits. The more composition of mocaf flour in edible tray, the higher value of thickness, hardness, and crispness. The coconut oil based edible tay relatively has higher thickness than palm oil based or margarine based. Edible tray produced by mixing 75 % of flour mocaf and 25 % of corn flour as well as addition of palm oil is the most preferable edible tray by consumers, and has a good form resistance up to 1 hour observation, so it can be applied as a container of tomato sauce, chili sauce, or cone ice cream.

Judul: Pengembangan Produk Makanan Ringan Dengan Proses Ekstrusi Dan Penggorengan
Abstrak: A typical Indonesian meal is based on rice cooked alone or prepared with sambal, a hot chili condiment ; it is served with krupuk (crackers made of flour , vegetables and meat , shrimp or spices) .Some local dishes such as Soto and Oxtail Soup are topped with fried shallot and crackers (something crispy and crunchy). The purpose of this experiment is to develop crackers which can be function as snacks alone or as seasoned fried toppings for eating with rice or other basic meal. In soupy dish, this toppings can turned to a synthetic meat which has a plastic or elastic and full body mouth feel. Available equipment in the company which has high technical possibility to produce this snacks are several extruders in the rice noodle (bihun) line and snack extruder (third generation snacks or pellets). The best process design is needed to produce a crispy snacks by using one prototype formula consists of ground catfish (Clarias batrachus L) meat and tofu (function as protein source), cassava flour (gaplek). The best prototype from laboratory scale formulation process has protein content 14 %, tasty and enough saltiness level and crispy texture. Raw material cost estimation per kg product dough cost from Rp.5.895,- to Rp.6.765,-. The combined process of rice noodle extruder with meat processor or meat chopper extruder, produced the best crispiness product after frying process with production capacity 500 kg/hour. The study of comparing the effect of dough temperature prior to extrusion process and the impact of meat processors or meat chopper extruder (MCE) in producing a crispy product was made by using the same frying condition 150° C ~ 3 minutes in a continuous noodle fryer. Proof on the crispiest texture is based on texture analysis on crispiness level. The higher the value of kgf for a product, the crispier the texture is. Duncan statistical calculation differentiates the process flow into 7 crispiness groups. The highest value of kgf is 93.2 and the lowest value is 24.49. Minimum value which considered as crispy is 50-55 kgf. Extrusion process begins with maximum 30 °C dough through strap extruder (bihun Line) then followed by MCE produced the crispiest texture. Cool dough (maximum 30 °C) significantly produced crispier texture than hot dough (60-90 °C). Based on Contrast Orthogonal Test, process followed with MCE and without MCE is significantly different at significance level <0.0001<0.05. Product texture made of extrusion process followed with MCE is perceived as significantly crispier if compared to that of extrusion process without MCE. Supporting studies of exposing product on top of soupy dishes (as topping) such as instant noodle at certain timing showed that the crispier the texture, the faster water absorption into the capillary of product structure.

Judul: Babesiosis pada kuda
Abstrak: Babesiosis pada kuda adalah penyakit menular yang di- sebabkan oleh Babesia caballi dan Babesia equi, yaitu pa- rasit protozoa perusak sel darah yang termasuk dalam genus Babesia. B. equi diduga oleh beberapa ahli termasuk dalam genus Theileria. Karena itu klasifikasi genus Babesia di- bicarakan dan siklus hidup B. caballi dan B. equi diulas. Kuda pada semua umur dapat terserang oleh dua parasite tersebut di atas. Tetapi kuda-kuda yang sudah dewasa (tua) lebih rentan jika dibandingkan dengan kuda-kuda yang masih muda. Kasus-kasus yang paling sering dijumpai adalah kasus-kasus yang bersifat akut walaupun kasus-kasus yang bersifat perakut, subakut dan kronik kadang-kadang terlihat. Serangan oleh parasit Babesia biasanya menyebabkan kerusаkan sel darah merah yang hebat sehingga kuda-kuda yang terserang menderita anemia hebat yang dapat menyebabkan kematian bila tidak segera diobati. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut perlu dilakukan diagnosis yang tepat dan sedini mungkin. Diagnosis dapat dilakukan dengan cara memeriksa gejala-gejala klinik, preparat ulas darah, inokulasi hewan lain dan dengan mengadakan pemeriksaan secara serologik. Gejala-gejala klinik babesiosis pada kuda yang bersifat akut yang paling sering terlihat, ialah : nafsu makan menurun/hilang, lesu, bulu suram dan tidak mau bergerak. Kuda yang dilepaskan di padang rumput akan mengasingkan diri dan jalan sempoyongan. Faeces yang keluar berwarna cok- lat gelap, diselaputi lendir yang berwarna kekuningan dan urimenya berwarna merah tua. Temperatur tubuh meningkat menjadi 39.5 - 41°C dan pulsus meningkat. Terlihat dispnoe, perdarahan petechi pada mukosa membrana nictitans dan conjunctiva yang lebih pucat dari normal dan juga icteris. Kasus-kasus yang bersifat subakut gejala-gejalanya lebih ringan, tetapi bila tidak segera diobati maka gejala- gejala tersebut secara cepat menjadi hebat. Persendian lutut dan persendian gelang puyuh membengkak dan padanya ter- lihat oedema. Pada abdomen, dada dan kepala juga dapat di- temukan oedema. Gejala-gejala klinik yang terlihat pada kasus kronik adalah penurunan kondisi tubuh kuda secara progresif walaupun diberi makan yang banyak. Perubahan temperatur tidak jelas, nafsu makan berubah-ubah, icterus tidak jelas dan anemia mungkin hanya dapat dideteksi dengan menghitung sel darah merah dan kadar hematocrit…dst
