Judul: Kontribusi Terigu terhadap Kecukupan Gizi Rumah Tangga Miskin di Wilayah DKI Jakarta
Abstrak: National Economic and Social Survey during the periode of 2002-2008 indicated the important of wheat flour as the second staple food after rice. Mandatory fortification of wheat flour was expected to improve the community nutritional status, especially poor households, but evaluation regarding the impact is remained limited. The aim of the study was to analize the contribution of wheat flour to the nutritional adequacy of poor households. This was a cross sectional study. The result of the study showed the wheat processing food that gave significant contribution to the wheat flour and micro nutrient intake were instant noodles, sweet breads, and fried foods. The average of wheat consumption among the sample households was 42.35 gram per capita per day that gave contribution to the adequacy of energy, protein, iron, zinc, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and folic acid as follows; 7.7%, 7.2%, 3.4%, 2.9%, 4.1%, 2.7%, and 1.1%. Wheat flour fortification was expected to increase the contribution of micro nutrients iron, zinc, vitamin B1,vitamin B2, and folic acid as follows; 17.4%, 13.9%, 14.3%, 18.0%, and 24.5%.

Judul: Kontribusi Raskin terhadap Total Konsumsi Beras dan Tingkat Kecukupan Gizi pada Rumah Tangga Miskin di Bogor.
Abstrak: The aim of this study was to analyze contribution of Rice for the Poor (Raskin) to total rice consumption and nutritional adequacy on poor households in Bogor. Design study used cross sectional study and it was done in Kabupaten and Kota Bogor. There were 98 poor households which listed as Rumah Tangga Penerima Manfaat (RTS-PM) Raskin chosen randomly as samples. Result of this study showed that average amount of Raskin which received by households were 5.8 kg/hh/month (2.8 kg in Dramaga, 2.4 kg in Leuwiliang, 9.0 kg in Bogor Selatan). Average of households Raskin consumption were 40.4 gram/capita/day, despite of total households rice consumption were 234.6 gram/capita/day (221.4 gram in Dramaga, 255.9 gram in Leuwiliang, 230.1 gram in Bogor Selatan). Contribution of Raskin for total households rice consumption (7.0 kg/capita/month) were 17.2%. Total Raskin which received by household only could provide household rice consumption for 9.5 days. If Raskin fortified with 80 ppm iron, 30 ppm zinc, 6.4 ppm thiamine, 1.3 ppm folic acid, 0.01 ppm vitamin B12, and 53 ppm niasin were estimated to increase micronutrients contribution of iron 20.0%, thiamine 17.8%, vitamin B12 14.8%, niasin 13.9%, folic acid 12.9%, and zinc 10.4% respectively.

Judul: Hubungan Kekerabatan Undur-Undur laut (Hippa adactyla Fabricius, 1787) Berdasarkan Marka Gen 16S rRNA di Pantai Purworejo dan Bantul.
Abstrak: Kepastian spesies diperlukan sebagai dasar pengelolaan. Adanya fenomena cryptic species dapat menyebabkan kesalahan identifikasi spesies pada organisme akuatik secara morfologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memvalidasi spesies undur-undur laut (Hippa adactyla) secara genetik menggunakan marka gen 16S rRNA dan menganalisis hubungan kekerabatan undur-undur laut yang berasal dari pantai Purworejo dan Bantul. Proses isolasi dan ekstraksi DNA menggunakan kit Gene Aid lalu dihasilkan DNA total yang akan diamplifikasi dengan primer universal 16S rRNA dan selanjutnya disekuensing. Hasil identifikasi secara molekuler menggunakan BLASTn diketahui bahwa enam contoh undur-undur laut dari Purworejo dan Bantul memiliki kemiripan berkisar antara 99-100% dengan Hippa adactyla dari GenBank. Urutan basa nukleotida disejajarkan dengan outgroup dari genus Hippa, infraordo Anomura, dan ordo Decapoda menggunakan software MEGA 5.0. Hubungan kekerabatan antara Hippa adactyla yang berasal dari pantai Purworejo dan Bantul sangat dekat. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa gen 16S rRNA terbukti dapat dijadikan penanda yang akurat dan mampu memvalidasikan spesies Hippa adactyla.
