Judul: Effect of carboxymethyl cellulose and rice varieties on physicochemical characteristics of chilled rice products
Abstrak: Waxy varieties of rice is a type of rice that contains high levels of amylopectin. Issues related to the glycemic index, foods with high content of amylopectin have high score of glycemic index which mean the foods can give the effect of the body’s blood sugar to rise quickly. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of addition 0.6% CMC into the glutinous rice-based chilled foods (rice burger and sushi rice), that expected to provide good effects on the digestive properties include decline in glycemic index value. Three rice varieties, RD6(11.38% amylose), Luem Pua(10.16% amylose) and Koshihikari(21.28% amylose) were studied. Cooked rice with 0.6% CMC proved to have a higher resistant starch content than control. This was found successively reduced the estimated glycemic index of chilled rice products. Results indicated that CMC slower the amount of glucose released based on in-vitro digestion. Starch digestive properties also affected by amylose content of each rice variety. However there were no pronounce effects on total polyphenol content and antioxidative properties of the products. Luem Pua rice has highest score of antioxidant properties compared to RD6 and Koshihikari because it naturally colored bran.

Judul: Physicochemical properties and In Vitro starch digestibility of Thai tradisional rice cake and pie cake
Abstrak: This research was first aimed to investigate the effect of flour types (pea flour, rice flour, sticky rice flour) and mixed flour (rice flour and sticky rice flour) on physicochemical properties and starch digestibility of the corresponding pea cake and rice cake. Second, to investigate the effect of cold setting conditions on physicochemical properties and starch digestibility of pea cake and rice cake. In the preliminary research, chemical composition of raw materials involved moisture, ash, protein, crude fat, and amylose content were determined as well as granular morphology, thermal and pasting properties. Experiment I was conducted in order to investigate the effect of mixing rice flour and sticky rice flour on granular morphology, thermal, and pasting properties. The resulted cakes were then analyzed in term of starch digestibiliity, textural and color properties (experiment II). At last, effect of cold setting condition on starch digestibility, textural, and color properties of pea cake and rice cake was investigated.

Judul: Perdagangan Ilegal Satwa Liar Dilindungi di Indonesia Berdasarkan Data Kasus Selama Tahun 2009 – 2018
Abstrak: Kasus perdagangan satwa liar di Indonesia terjadi karena banyaknya permintaan dari pasar, akses yang mudah untuk mendapatkan sumber daya alam dan melakukan pengiriman, juga karena kurangnya pengawasan dari aparat penegak hukum. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi bahwa taksa burung memiliki tingkat tertinggi untuk perdagangan satwa liar (38.03%). Bagian tubuh burung yang paling banyak diperdagangkan adalah paruh sekitar 306 buah, bagian tubuh reptil yang paling banyak diperdagangkan adalah kulit 9 479 lembar, dan bagian tubuh mamalia yang paling banyak diperdagangkan adalah daging beku sebanyak 2 510 kg . Kasus perdagangan satwa liar di Indonesia dari tahun 2009 - 2018 mengalami kenaikan. Kasus terbanyak yang telah diselesaikan adalah di Jawa Timur sebanyak 52 kasus. Banyak pihak seperti organisasi non-pemerintah, BBKSDA, dan KLHK memiliki program penyadartahuan masyarakat mengenai perdagangan satwa liar sehingga masyarakat dapat turut serta mencegah perdagangan satwa liar di Indonesia.
