Judul: Kajian Proses Produksi Gelatin dari Tulang Domba Menggunakan Proses Asam
Abstrak: Gelatin merupakan suatu jenis protein yang diperoleh dari jaringan kolzgen yang terdapat pada kulit, tulang atau ligamen hewan Cjaringan ikat). Di pasaran pada saat ini, gelatin kebanyakan diproduksi dari kulit dan tulang babi atau sapi. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan tulang domba sebagai alternatif pengganti bahan baku pada ekstraksi gelatin. Setiap tahun populasi domba di Indonesia meningkat. Hal ini mengakibatkan semakin meningkatnya jumlah tulang domba dari hasil pemotongan domba tersebut. Pada tahun 1996, diperkirakan jumlah domba sekitar 7.582.300 ekor (BPS, 1996). Kegunaan gelatin sangat luas diantaranya pada industri makanan yaitu permen, coklat, produk susu, es krim, minuman dan produk daging. Di luar industri makanan, gelatin juga digunakan antara lain pada produk kosmetik tablet, kapsul, bahan perekat (lem), pelapis kertas dan pembuatan film untuk fotografi (LPPOM-MUI, 1997).

Judul: Kajian proses demineralisasi dan liming dalam ekstrasi gelatin dari kolagen tulang sapi
Abstrak: Emulsi merupakan campuran dari dua larutan yang tidak dapat saling melarutkan. Emulsi yang stabil didapatkan dengan penambahan senyawa-senyawa lain yang berfungsi untuk mempertahankan bahan emulsi tersebut, yaitu emulsi- fier atau stabilizer. Penggunaan jenis-jenis emulsifier atau stabilizer tergantung pada bahan baku emulsi, jenis emulsi dan proses atau penanganan bahan yang digunakan. Salah satu stabilizer atau emulsifier yang umum digunakan adalah gelatin. Gelatin merupakan suatu senyawa protein kompleks yang diekstrak dari komponen kolagen pada tulang atau kulit hewan. Proses pembuatan gelatin dari kolagen tulang sapi membutuhkan proses demineralisasi dan liming sebelum ekstraksi pada tahap selanjutnya. Bahan baku tulang sapi yang dipergunakan merupakan produk sampingan yang diper- oleh dari rumah pemotongan hewan. Selain memberi nilai tambah pada bahan-bahan limbah tersebut, pemanfaatan tulang sapi sebagai bahan substitusi bahan baku gelatin yang diharapkan dapat menjadi suatu alternatif (produk yang halal).

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
