Judul: Karakterisasi Tepung Tempe dari Empat Varietas Kedelai Impor dan Aplikasinya Menjadi Minuman
Abstrak: Tempeh is one of processed soy product obtained by fermenting boiled soybean with Rhizopus oligosporus. Tempeh has been known have many advantages such as good nutritional value and organic compound which contributes to human health. The aim of this research are to make whole tempeh flour from four different varieties of soybean then apply it to be beverage. Four varieties of soybeans result tempeh that have significant difference in physical characteristics but insignificant nutritional composition. Whole tempeh flour made by drying tempeh slice using tray drier at 60 °C for 6 hours. It then compared to commercial soy flour drink. The result showed that four tempeh flour and soy flour drink have insignificant differences in nutritional composition. Meanwhile the process of making whole tempeh flour has some problem and create some weak charateristic of tempeh flour. Some of weakness influenced panelis preference. Organoleptic analysis result showed that F3 was the most prefered composition which contained 10 grams of soybean flour, 15 grams of sugar and 1 gram of sugar. It showed that tempeh flour has some weakness applied to beverages such as precipitation like soy flour. Judging from the proximate composition of tempeh flour can be seen that it has potentials to be developed as a beverage.

Abstrak: Tempe is an Indonesian traditional food made by fermentation of soybean by the fungus Rhizopus sp. The objective of this research was to compare physical and chemical properties of soybean and tempe made from import (Import 1, Import 2) and local (Local 1, Local 2, Local 3) soybeans. For tempe production, soybean were sorted, soaked, dehulled, cooked, and fermented. The result showed that Local 1 variety presented as the biggest size (19.53 g/100 soybean grains) and the highest cost effectiveness (0.73). Despite of those physical properties, yields of all tempe weren’t significantly different (p>0.05). Tempe made from soybean Local 1 had moisture, protein, and fat content as higher as tempe made from import soybeans. Tempe made from soybean Local 3 had the highest protein content (52.70%). The antioxidant capacity of tempe made from import and local soybeans were about 186-191 mg AEAC/g, but weren’t significantly different (p>0.05). Based on sensory evaluation of raw and fried tempe, overall tempe made from local soybeans had the same preference with tempe made from import soybeans. Tempe made from soybean Local 1 had shelf life until 2 days at room temperature and 7 days at low temperature based on sensory quality measurement.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
