Judul: Pendugaan Umur Simpan Opak Singkong
Abstrak: Untuk mengetahui ketahanan produk opak singkong dari mulai produk opak diproduksi hingga rusak maka diperlukan pendugaan umur simpan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui perubahan mutu opak singkong selama penyimpanan meliputi kadar air dan kadar asam lemak bebas, menentukan pengaruh penambahan perasa makanan terhadap umur simpan opak singkong, serta menentukan umur simpan produk opak singkong dalam kemasan menggunakan metode Arrhenius. Opak singkong dengan rasa original dan barbeque dikemas menggunakan plastik PP dan disimpan pada suhu 30oC, 40oC, dan 50oC kemudian diamati perubahan kadar air dan kadar FFA pada 12 titik pengamatan juga organoleptik sebelum dan sesudah penyimpanan. Umur simpan opak singkong original dan barbeque berdasarkan uji kadar air berturut-turut adalah 93 dan 110 hari, sedangkan umur simpan opak singkong original dan barbeque berdasarkan uji kadar FFA berturut-turut adalah 43 dan 81 hari.

Judul: Cassava Chunk Product Stability in Retort Pouch Packaging During Storage
Abstrak: Singkong merupakan salah satu bahan pangan sumber karbohidrat utama di Indonesia. Singkong dapat diolah menjadi produk cassava chunk, yaitu potongan singkong steril komersial dalam kemasan retort pouch siap santap. Produk ini dapat berfungsi sebagai pengganti nasi, praktis, dan dapat didistribusikan lebih jauh. Penelitian sebelumnya telah dilakukan mengenai optimasi proses sterilisasi komersial produk cassava chunk pada skala presto 25 L dengan perlakuan blansir sehingga didapat nilai Fo 3,43 menit. Namun, penelitian tersebut belum menganalisis stabilitas produk. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengonfirmasi parameter proses sterilisasi komersial produk cassava chunk pada skala presto 50 L dan menggunakan kemasan aluminium foil, serta mengevaluasi stabilitas produk selama penyimpanan dengan metode Accelerated Shelf Life Testing (ASLT) pendekatan Arrhenius. Produk cassava chunk disimpan pada suhu 35, 45, dan 55 ℃ selama 35 hari dan dianalisis setiap 7 hari sekali. Parameter yang dianalisis adalah warna, tekstur, pH, serta sensori dengan atribut warna, aroma woody, keasaman, dan kepahitan. Parameter nilai L, aroma woody, dan keasaman memiliki perubahan yang lebih signifikan dibandingkan dengan parameter lainnya. Atribut keasaman merupakan parameter kritis yang digunakan untuk menentukan umur simpan karena paling berpengaruh terhadap penerimaan konsumen dan memiliki umur simpan yang lebih pendek. Pendugaan umur simpan produk cassava chunk adalah 1,3–1,5 bulan pada selang suhu penyimpanan 25–30 ℃ dan 2,8 bulan pada suhu refrigerasi., Cassava is one of the main carbohydrate sources in Indonesia. Cassava can be processed into cassava chunk products, namely commercially sterile cassava pieces in ready-to-eat retort pouches. This product can serve as a substitute for rice, is practical, and can be distributed further. Previous research has been conducted regarding the optimization of the commercial sterilization process for cassava chunk products on a pressure scale of 25 L with blanching treatment so that the Fo value is 3.43 minutes. However, these studies have not analyzed the stability of the product. This study aims to confirm the parameters of the commercial sterilization process for cassava chunk products at a pressure scale of 50 L and using aluminum foil packaging, and evaluate the stability of the product during storage using the Accelerated Shelf Life Testing (ASLT) method with the Arrhenius approach. The cassava chunk product was stored at 35, 45, and 55 ℃ for 35 days and analyzed every 7 days. Parameters analyzed were color, texture, pH, and sensory attributes with color, aroma, acidity, and bitterness. Parameters of L value, aroma, and acidity had more significant changes compared to other parameters. The acidity attribute is a critical parameter used to determine shelf life because it has the most influence on consumer acceptance and has a shorter shelf life. The estimated shelf life of cassava chunk products was 1.3–1.5 months in a storage temperature range of 25–30 ℃ and 2.8 months at refrigeration temperature.

Judul: Hamiltonian formulation for linear waves motion in two layers fluid
Abstrak: The surface wave could be considered as a wave that separates two fluids, namely water and air. Based on this assumption, it is introduced the interfacial wave, a wave between two layers of fluid with different density. The formulation of interfacial waves motion begins with deriving the base equation of irrotational ideal fluid. Furthermore, according to irrotational fluid assumption, the base equation can be stated in velocity potential. In this derivation, the fluids domain is assumed to be restricted by rigid lid boundary conditions, both at the upper and lower limit. Therefore, the interfacial waves motion can be explained in a hamiltonian formulation. In the hamiltonian formulation, total energy is defined as the sum of kinetic and potential energy. The hamiltonian system is obtained from reduction of kinetic energy by using the Dirichlet Neumann Operator. The resulted kinetic energy equation is nonlinear. Therefore, this form is linearized by first part of the Taylor expansion. This linearization gives a dispersion relation of linear wave. Based on this dispersion relation, the phase speed of the linear wave depends on the density ratio of the two layers fluid.
