Judul: Simulasi kemantapan thiamin dalam model makanan selama penyimpanan
Abstrak: Di antara vitamin-vitamin yang biasa dipergunakan untuk memfortifikasi bahan makanan berbentuk tepung, thiamin merupakan vitamin yang paling tidak stabil. Suhu dan kelembaban relatif ruang simpan yang tinggi akan mempercepat laju degradasi thiamin. Bahan makanan campuran yang terdiri dari tujuh bagian beras dan tiga bagian kedelai, telah berhasil dipergunakan dalam usaha perbaikan gizi keluarga, sebagai sumber kalori dan protein. Fortifikasi thiamin kedalamnya akan lebih meningkatkan nilai gizi dari bahan makanan campuran ini.

Judul: Stabilisasi Tepung Bekatul Melalui Metode Pengukusan Dan Pengeringan Rak Serta Pendugaan Umur Simpannya
Abstrak: Bran is side product from rice milling. According to BPS (2008), bran production reach at 4,8 million tons. Bran can be processed to be various product, one of them is bran powder. Bran powder can be used as brade substitution agent, cookies, and dietary drink. The decreasing of quality of bran can occure through hydroliytic and oxidation processes. The problem can be solved trough bran stabilization. It can be processed by steaming of the material in certain time. The purposes of this research are to get condition of stabilization and bran drying, bran characterization and stabilized bran, also to predict the packaging time. Constant condition of drying of the fresh bran reached in 4 hours with the drying rate about 1 x 10-4 g/second untill the water level at 5 %. Steaming of the bran was carried out in 3 level of time; 5, 10, and 15 minutes. The next step was characterizing the bran and stabilized bran. The characterization of fresh bran include water level 6,86 %, fat 16,84 % (db), ash 7,43 % (db), protein 13,72 % (db), crude fiber 7,25 % (db), carbohydrate by different 47,9 % (db), and TBA 0,68 mg malonaldehid/kg sample, solubility 11,95 %, swelling power 5,96 %, cyneresis 95,50 %, total colony number 1,65 x 106, and was not found E. Coli colony. Based on tested parameter water level, fat, and TBA were choosen bran with steaming at 5 minutes. The stabilized bran characterization include water level 5,61 %, fat 14,23 % (db), and TBA 0,23 mg malonaldehid/kg sample. The bran that was stabilized at 5 minutes was used as the material to predict the storage and shelf life. The product packed in metalizzed and was storaged at tempeature 35, 45, and 50oC during 8 weeks. The quality parameter that was used in were water level, TBA, and brightness level. During the storage, it occured decreasing of water level and brightness level, also the increasing of TBA value. The critical value of the quality parameter that was used in packaging time of stabilized bran was TBA. Based on organoleptic test at the 4th week at storage 50oC, the critical point was 0,51 mg malonaldehid/kg sample. Arrhenius equation of stabilized bran during the packaging was k = 0,074 e -176 (1/T). Packaging time of stabilized bran at 30oC was predicted in 39 days, at temperature 25oC was in 40 days, and at temprature at 15oC was in 50 days.

Judul: Studi sistematika  Oreophryne Boettger, 1895Sulawesi (Anura: Microhylidae)
Abstrak: The cross frogs, genus Oreophryne Boettger, 1895 are most diverse in the mainland of New Guinea and adjacent islands, to the Wallacea region in the Moluccas, Sulawesi, and the Lesser Sunda Islands, even marginally to the Oriental region in Bali and to the southern Philippine Islands. In Sulawesi, this taxon consists of three species but has rarely been reported since their original descriptions and remained unstudied in both taxonomical work and molecular study. This research aims to evaluate the taxonomic status of the cross frogs in Sulawesi based on morphology and estimate the phylogenetic using the 16S rRNA gene. The phylogenetic tree was reconstructed under Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) analyses. We used the specimens of Sulawesian Oreophryne which were stored at the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB). A total of about 19 morphological characters were measured by a digital caliper and ocular micrometer to the nearest 0.01 mm. The phylogenetic tree shows that the three nominal species of Oreophryne from Sulawesi are clearly clustered. Correspondingly, the phylogenetic analysis supports the recognition of a new taxon, Oreophryne sp. However, the phylogenetic relationships between Oreophryne within Wallacea remain unresolved. Consequently, further systematic analysis along with additional sequences from the type locality is necessary to clarify the interspecific relationship among this region. We examined the morphology of 50 voucher specimens of Sulawesian Oreophryne. The validity of O. celebensis, O. variabilis, and O. zimmeri was confirmed in this study, but still the latter remains to be established. The three nominal species examined here were not collected from the type locality, so additional specimens, either in the type locality, new locations, or in other areas on this island are needed to evaluate the taxonomic status of these species deeply. Moreover, the unnamed species from the highland of the Mekongga mountains differ morphologically and genetically from all previously described Sulawesian Oreophryne. This distinct species will increase the number of cross frogs in Sulawesi to four species, all of which are endemic.
