Judul: Pengaruh Antioksidan dan Lama Perendaman Terhadap Kualitas Tepung Kentang
Abstrak: Kentang merupakan salah satu tanaman yang banyak ditanam di Indonesia. Berbagai macam olahan dapat dihasilkan dari kentang salah satunyan adalah tepung kentang. Tepung kentang merupakan produk setengah jadi yang dapat bertahan lama. Permasalahan yang sering terjadi dalam pengolahan kentang adalah terjadinya browning. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan jenis antioksidan dan lama perendaman terhadap sifat fisik,kimia dan organoleptik mutu tepung kentang. Jenis antioksidan yang digunakan yaitu Natrium Metabisulfit (N2S2O5) dan Asam Sitrat (C₆H₈O₇). Metode penelitian adalah merendam kentang dengan antioksidan dengan waktu perendaman 20 menit, 40 menit, dan 60 menit. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan terbaik yaitu menggunakan Natrium Metabisulfit dengan perendaman 60 menit dengan kadar air terendah 10%, rendemen yang tinggi sebesar 12,84% dan kadar abu yang rendah sebesar 0,48%. Uji organoleptik yang dihasilkan disukai dari segi warna, aroma dan tekstur., Potato is one the most widely grown crops in Indonesia. Various kinds of preparations can be produced from potatoes, one of which isi potato starch. Potato flour is a semi.finished product that can last a long time . The problem that often occurs in potato processing is the occurrence of browning. This study aims to determine the effect of adding types of antioxidants and soaking time on the physical, chemical and organoleptic properties of potato flour quality. The types of antioxsidants used are sodium metabisulfite (N2S2O5) and citric acid (C6H8O7). Thr research method was soaking potatoes with antioxsidants with soaking times of 20 minute, 40 minutes, and 60 minutes. The result showed that the best treatment was using sodium metabisulfite with 60 minutes of immersion with the lowest water content 10% , high yield of 12,84% and low ash content of 0,48%. The organoleptic test produced was both in terms of color, aroma and texture.

Judul: Perubahan Warna Tepung Kentang Atlantik Selama Penyimpanan Dan Pendugaan Umur Simpannya
Abstrak: The effect of packaging and temperature storage on color quality attribute of potato fluor was investigated. Color quality is measured by the value of brightness (L*) using Chromameter Minolta CR-200, browning index, whiteness index, enzyme polyphenol oxidase activity, water content of starch during storage and organoleptic quality. Estimation of shelf life was measured using the method ASLT (Accelerated Storage Studies) semi-empirical Arrhenius equation in the varied storage temperatures (20oC, 30oC, and 40oC) and two types of packaging (polypropylene and low density polyethylene). It was found that shelf life of potato flour in lower temperature storage resulted in better color retention. Potato flour shelf life based on the parameters of brightness and browning index is at a temperature of 30oC storage box that is 4 month 24 days. Packaging and storage methods had obvious effect on the product quality.

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
