Judul: The Development of Plant-Based Milk from Gude Beans and White Rice for Vegetarians
Abstrak: Diet vegetarian mendapat asupan protein hanya dari bahan nabati. Protein nabati merupakan protein yang memiliki kekurangan dalam satu atau lebih asam amino essensial. Kacang gude memiliki kandungan asam amino yang cukup lengkap terutama memiliki kandungan lisin yang tinggi namun, memiliki kekurangan dalam asam amino metionin. Kekurangan asam amino metionin dapat dilengkapi dengan asam amino yang terkandung dalam serealia seperti beras putih. Susu kacang gude dan beras putih merupakan salah satu alternatif susu nabati yang dapat membantu memberikan kontribusi terhadap kecukupan asupan zat gizi untuk kalangan umum terutama bagi yang sedang menjalani diet vegetarian. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga formulasi dengan perbandingan antara kacang gude, beras putih, dan kacang tanah, yakni F1(90:0:10), F2 (75:15:10), dan F3 (60:30:10). Berdasarkan hasil uji organoleptik, karakteristik fisik, dan kandungan gizi, F3 ditetapkan sebagai formula terpilih. Susu formulasi terpilih mengandung protein (%bb) 1,51%, lemak (%bb) 0,72%, karbohidrat (%bb) 9,42%, dan kalsium (%bb) 22,47 mg/100g. Satu takaran saji susu kacang gude dan beras putih adalah 250 ml dan memberikan kontribusi 126 kkal dari energi sehari wanita dan pria usia dewasa (19-49 tahun). Susu kacang gude dan beras putih formula terpilih memenuhi syarat klaim sebagai produk rendah lemak namun belum dapat memenuhi syarat klaim sebagai produk sumber protein.

Judul: Development of Vegetarian Nugget Based on Red Beans Flour (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and Soybean Tempeh
Abstrak: Diet vegetarian merupakan salah satu diet populer berisiko tinggi kekurangan zat gizi protein, zat besi, seng serta B12 yang dapat menyebabkan anemia. Kacang merah memiliki keunggulan pada zat besi dan serat pangan, sedangkan tempe memiliki keunggulan pada B12 dan keduanya merupakan sumber protein nabati yang baik. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk melakukan pengembangan vegetarian nugget berbasis tepung kacang merah dan tempe kedelai berdasarkan formula terbaik. Metode yang digunakan yaitu Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan perlakuan variasi konsentrasi penambahan campuran tepung kacang merah dan tempe kedelai. Nugget formula terpilih yaitu F1 (tepung kacang merah 20%, tempe kedelai 80%) berdasarkan uji organoleptik, analisis fisik, dan kandungan gizi. Hasil analisis fisik (kekerasan) nugget terpilih memiliki kekerasan terendah dibanding formula lainnya sejalan dengan uji mutu hedonik kekerasan yaitu lunak. Kontribusi nugget terhadap ALG kelompok umum yaitu energi 7,7%, protein 21,9%, lemak 4,0%, karbohidrat 6,9%, serat 23,8%, zat besi 85,7%, serta B12 8% dari total kebutuhan sehari. Kandungan gizi nugget formula terpilih yaitu air 49,85 g/100g, abu 2,38 g/100g, lemak 3,36 g/100g, protein 16,36 g/100g, karbohidrat total 28,04 g/100g, zat besi 23,56 mg/100g, serat pangan 8,94 g/100g, dan B12 0,24 μg/100g. Produk ini memenuhi klaim sebagai makanan sumber protein, tinggi serat pangan, dan tinggi zat besi., Vegetarian diet is one of the popular diets with a high risk of nutritional deficiencies of protein, iron, zinc and B12 which can cause anemia. Red beans have advantages in iron and dietary fiber, while Tempe has advantages in B12 and both are good sources of vegetable protein. The purpose of this study was to develop vegetarian nuggets based on red bean flour and soybean tempeh based on the best formula. The method used is Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with the concentration variation of the addition of a mixture of red bean flour and soybean tempeh. The selected formula was F1(20% red bean flour: 80% soybean tempeh) based on organoleptik tests, physical analysis, and nutritional content. The results of the physical analysis (hardness) of the selected nugget have the lowest hardness compared to other formulas in line with the hedonic quality test of hardness, which is soft. The contribution of nuggets to general group RDI is 7,7% energy, 21,9% protein, 4,0% fat, 6,9% carbohydrate, 23,8% fiber, 85,7% iron, and 8% B12 of daily needs. The nutritional content of the selected formula nugget is water 49,85 g/100g, ash 2,38 g/100g, fat 3,36 g/100g, protein 16,36 g/100g, total carbohydrates 28,04 g/100g, iron 23,56 mg/100g, dietary fiber 8 ,94 g/100g and B12 0,24 μg/100g. This product fulfills the claim of being a high-protein, high-fiber, and high-iron food.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
