Judul: Development of Biscuits with the Addition of Flax Seeds as Finger Food for Toddlers with Omega-3 Deficiency
Abstrak: Kekurangan zat gizi selama masa percepatan pertumbuhan otak, yaitu antara trimester terakhir kehamilan dan dua tahun pertama masa kanak-kanak dapat merusak fungsi otak. Biji rami mengandung jumlah yang cukup dari Asam α-Linolenat (ALA), sejenis asam lemak omega-3. ALA bermanfaat untuk perkembangan otak bayi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan produk biskuit dengan penambahan biji rami sebagai finger food bagi baduta dengan defisiensi omega-3. Penelitian berupa experimental study dengan rancangan acak lengkap terdiri dari tiga formula dengan perbandingan shortening : biji rami giling F0 (100%:0%), F1 (93%:7%), serta F2 (87%:13%). Prosedur penelitian uji organoleptik, uji karakteristik fisik, analisis proksimat, serta analisis profil asam lemak dilakukan untuk menentukan formula terpilih dengan hasil F1. Biskuit formula terpilih mengandung kadar air 3,17%, kadar abu 1,36%, lemak 31,17%, protein 5,13%, karbohidrat 59,14%, omega-3 0,64 g/100 g biskuit, serta omega-6 23,64 g/100 g biskuit. Satu takaran saji biskuit setara 37,6 g terdiri dari 2 keping memberikan kontribusi energi 15% (203 kkal) dan 34% (0,24 g) terhadap angka kecukupan energi dan omega-3 anak usia 1-3 tahun berturut-turut., Insufficient nutrient intake during the critical period of accelerated brain growth, which occurs from the last trimester of pregnancy through the first two years of childhood, can adversely affect brain function. Flaxseed contains a significant amount of α-Linolenic Acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid. ALA is beneficial for infant brain development. This research aims to develop biscuits with the addition of flaxseed as a finger food for toddlers with omega-3 deficiency. The study is an experimental design with a completely randomized arrangement comprising three formulas with shortening: ground flaxseed ratios of F0 (100%:0%), F1 (93%:7%), and F2 (87%:13%). Organoleptic and physical characteristics test, proximate analysis, and fatty acid profile analysis were conducted to determine the selected formula, resulting in F1. The selected biscuit formula contains 3.17% moisture, 1.36% ash, 31.17% fat, 5.13% protein, 59.14% carbohydrates, 0.64 g/100 g of omega-3, and 23.64 g/100 g of omega-6. One serving size of biscuits equivalent to 37.6 g contributes 15% (203 kcal) and 34% (0.24 g) of energy and omega-3 adequacy for children aged 1-3 years, respectively.

Judul: Development of Mung Bean Flour Mocaf Biscuits with the Addition of Fenugreek Seeds as an Alternative Snack for Breastfeeding Mothers
Abstrak: Pemberian ASI yang tidak eksklusif dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor, salah satunya adalah produksi ASI yang kurang. Biji fenugreek merupakan kelompok tanaman yang mengandung senyawa galactogogue serta masih terbatas pemanfaatannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan biskuit mocaf tepung kacang hijau dengan penambahan biji fenugreek sebagai alternatif kudapan bagi ibu menyusui. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak lengkap dengan tiga taraf formula, yaitu F0 (kontrol), F1 (0,5% biji fenugreek), dan F2 (1% biji fenugreek). Analisis yang dilakukan adalah uji organoleptik pendahuluan untuk penentuan formula kontrol dan uji organoleptik utama, analisis kandungan gizi, uji fisik, kapasitas antioksidan metode DPPH, analisis mineral zat besi, serta uji daya terima kepada target sasaran kelompok ibu menyusui. Berdasarkan hasil uji organoleptik dan analisis kandungan gizi, F1 ditetapkan sebagai formula terpilih. Biskuit formulasi terpilih mengandung kadar air 3,28%, kadar abu 2,45%, protein 5,85%, lemak 14,43%, karbohidrat 73,88%, kapasitas antioksidan 351,28 mg Vit C/100 g biskuit, serta zat besi sebesar 2,34 mg/100 gram biskuit. Satu takaran saji biskuit setara dengan 5 keping serta memberikan kontribusi energi sebesar 225 kkal. Biskuit formula terpilih (F1) dapat diterima oleh target sasaran kelompok ibu menyusui dengan persentase penerimaan sebesar 82,4% untuk penerimaan keseluruhan uji hedonik., Non-exclusive breastfeeding is influenced by many factors, one of which is insufficient breast milk production. Fenugreek seeds are a group of plants that contain galactogogue compounds and their use is still limited. This research aimed to develop mung bean flour mocaf biscuits with the addition of fenugreek seeds as an alternative snack for breastfeeding mothers. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design with three formula levels, namely F0 (control), F1 (0.5% fenugreek seeds), and F2 (1% fenugreek seeds). The analysis carried out were preliminary organoleptic test to determine the control formula and main organoleptic tests, nutritional content analysis, physical tests and antioxidant capacity used DPPH method, iron mineral analysis, as well as an acceptability test for the target group of breastfeeding mothers. Based on the results of organoleptic tests and nutritional content analysis, F1 was determined as the selected formula. The selected formula of biscuits contains 3.28% water, 2.45% ash, 5.85% protein, 14.43% fat, 73.88% carbohydrates, with antioxidant capacity of 351.28 mg Vit C/100 g biscuits, and iron was 2.34 mg/100 grams of biscuit. One serving of biscuits is equivalent to 5 pieces and contributes energy of 225 kcal. The selected formula biscuits (F1) were acceptable to the target group of breastfeeding mothers with an acceptance percentation of 82.4% for the overall acceptance of the hedonic test.

Judul: Perbandingan Keanekaragaman dan Sebaran Spasial Reptil di Pulau Peucang dan Cidaon
Abstrak: Peucang island and Cidaon Forest are part of Ujung Kulon National Park (TNUK). The research was conducted to assess diversity in both locations which have same characteristics as tropical rain forest ecosystem of lowland and coastal forests. Data collection was performed during 7 days on 8 March to 14 March 2013 by Visual Encounter Surveys methods (VES)-time search. There were 14 species of reptils from 8 families recorded, 10 species of 6 families were recorded in Peucang Island, meanwhile 10 species of 6 families were recorded in Cidaon forest. In term of species composition, both locations differ, in which Cidaon was dominated by Eutropis multifasciata (18 individuals) and Peucang island dominated by Cyrtordactylus fumosus (22 individuals). No endangered species found in both locations. Bungarus candidus and Hemidactylus frenatus were the only species recorded in Peucang island, while Psammodynastes pulverulentus and Gonochephalus chamaeleontinus were the only species recorded in Cidaon.
