Abstrak: Produk minuman susu sudah banyak beredar di masyarakat dengan berbagai variasi, sehingga perlu memahami konsumen serta faktor yang mempengaruhi minat konsumen dalam melakukan pembelian, melalui atribut produknya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pola konsumsi, persepsi konsumen dan loyalitas konsumen masyarakat terhadap produk minuman susu di wilayah Jabodetabek. Penelitian dilakukan dengan survei online yang terdiri dari tahapan yaitu studi literatur, penentuan metode pengambilan data, penentuan responden, penyusunan kuesioner, pengujian kuesioner, pengumpulan data, pengolahan data, dan pelaporan. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji deskriptif, crosstab, Chi-square, dan uji Net Promoter Score dengan menggunakan software Microsoft Excel dan SPSS 25. Responden memiliki pola konsumsi tertinggi dengan frekuensi konsumsi sebanyak 1-2 kali seminggu pada jenis susu UHT berkemasan tetra pak pada brand Ultramilk. Pertimbangan keputusan pembelian dilihat dari faktor rasa, sertifikasi, dan kandungan gizi dengan memperhatikan kandungan protein, mineral, gula, vitamin, dan lemak. Beberapa dari profil responden seperti domisili, usia, jenis kelamin, pendidikan, pekerjaan, pendapat, dan pengeluaran memiliki hubungan yang signifikan terhadap beberapa atribut pola dan persepsi konsumen. Terdapat 5 dari 16 brand yang memiliki konsumen puas dan loyal karena memiliki Net Promoter Score yang bernilai positif., Milk products have circulated a lot in public with various variations, so it is necessary to understand consumers and the factors that influence consumer interest in making purchases, through product attributes. This study aims to determine consumption patterns, consumer perceptions and consumer loyalty to milk products in the Jabodetabek. The research was conducted using an online survey consisting of stages: literature study, determining data collection methods, determining respondents, preparing questionnaires, testing questionnaires, data collection, data processing, and reporting. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive, crosstab, Chi-square, and Net Promoter Score tests using Microsoft Excel and SPSS 25 software. Respondents had the highest consumption pattern with a consumption frequency of 1-2 times a week on UHT milk in tetra pak packaging for Ultramilk brands. Consideration of purchasing decisions is seen from the taste, certification, and nutritional content by paying attention to the content of protein, minerals, sugar, vitamins, and fat. Some of the respondents profiles such as domicile, age, gender, education, occupation, income, and expenditure have a significant relationship to some attributes of consumer patterns and perceptions.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
