Judul: Perlakuan Blansir dan Edible Coating dari Pektin untuk Mereduksi Senyawa Akrilamida pada Proses Penggorengan Keripik Pisang Ambon
Abstrak: Acrylamide is a probable human carcinogen and is potentially formed in ambon banana chips due to its reducing sugar and asparagin content and the involvement of frying process. This research aims to reduce acrylamide formation in ambon banana chips by using blanching and pectin-based edible coating. Blanching treatment was conducted at 90 oC, and 100 oC for 1 minute while concentration of pectin-based edible coating was 0 and 2 % (w/v). Acrylamide level was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Ambon banana chips prepared without blanching and edible coating contains 194.40 ppb of acrylamide. Edible coating reduced 33.02 % of acrylamide level whereas blanching at 90 oC and 100 oC reduced 20.06 % and 52.47% of acrylamide levels, respectively. Interestingly, combination of blanching and pectin-based edible coating could reduce intensively acrylamide level in banana chips until 90% of reduction. However, with only blanching pretreatment, it induced an important change in physical characteristics of products and reduced consumer preference which was indicated by lower hedonic scores compared to those of the control.

Judul: Aplikasi Iradiasi Gamma (60Co) untuk Mereduksi Senyawa Akrilamida pada Keripik Pisang dan Pengaruhnya terhadap Karakteristik Produk
Abstrak: Acrylamide is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as group 2A: probably carcinogenic to humans. It is potentially formed in significant amount when a food product containing sugar and asparagine as acrylamide precursors is processed in high temperature such as frying and baking process. Banana chips are widely consumed in Indonesia and potentially contain acrylamide due to the high temperature processing and acrylamide precursor content. The objective of this research is to reduce acrylamide content in banana chips by using gamma irradiation technique. Five doses of gamma irradiation (0, 5, 10, 15, and 25 kGy) were applied on banana chips. The acrylamide content was analyzed by using commercial ELISA Kit. Results showed that irradiation by 5, 10, 15, and 25 kGy reduced acrylamide content in banana chips from 506.34 ng/g (in control) to 455.99 ng/g, 373.66 ng/g, 294.34 ng/g, and 130.78 ng/g, respectively. These acrylamide reductions were 9.95, 26.20, 41.87, and 74.17% for irradiation doses of 5, 10, 15, and 25 kGy, respectively. Sensory analysis results showed that irradiated banana chips with doses of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 25 kGy had overall value 9.78, 8.77, 8.57, 7.32, and 6.43, respectively indicating there was a decrease of consumer acceptance with the increase of radiation doses. In view of the color properties, gamma irradiation affected significantly the color of banana chips. Irradiated banana chips were darker than non-irradiated banana chips. Objectively, CIE L* and b* values of irradiated banana chips were significantly different (p<0.05) compared to those of control. This study revealed that irradiation with a dose of 10 kGy was the most appropriate method to reduce acrylamide content in banana chips since it did not change significantly in terms of physical and sensory properties.

Judul: Heisenberg Uncertainty of Double SlitSystem Based on Budiyono-Rohrlich Quantum Statistics Model
Abstrak: Interpretasi kuantum dikembangkan untuk memaknai secara fisis dengan jelas bagaimana suatu dinamika pada sistem mikroskopis yang dijelaskan dengan teori-teori kuantum, seperti interpretasi Copenhagen yang mendeskripsikan sistem kuantum sebagai suatu keadaan yang dideskripsikan dengan fungsi gelombang yang berisikan bagaimana peluang keadaan suatu sistem. Interpretasi kuantum juga bisa dibawa dari suatu sistem klasik seperti pada model statistika-kuantum Budiyono-Rohrlich yang menjelaskan bagaimana dinamika kuantum berhubungan dengan sistem klasik dengan penerapan statistika pada model Hamiltonian sistem. Fungsi distribusi dapat mendeskripsikan bagaimana suatu sistem terdistribusi pada suatu ruang pada pandangan klasik namun untuk sistem kuantum fungsi distribusi adalah peluang dari sistem tersebut. Sistem klasik dan kuantum juga dipisahkan berdasarkan pada ketidakpastian Heisenberg tentang suatu pengukuran yang tidak bisa secara sekaligus dilakukan bersamaan. Model statistika-kuantum Budiyono-Rohrlich membawa suatu sistem klasik menjadi sistem kuantum dengan dua aksioma yaitu hukum kekekalan energi rata rata dan konservasi rapat probabilitas. Sistem klasik yang didefinisikan akan diatur dengan menambahkan dua variable matematis berupa ontic extensions dan epistemic restrictions dimana kedua variabel ini yang akan menghubungkan bagaimana sistem klasik bisa diubah menjadi sebuah sistem kuantum. Dua variabel matematis tadi membuat sebuah sistem bisa diperlihatkan ketidakpastiannya lewat perhitungan simpangan rata-rata dan hasilnya akan selalu memenuhi ketidakpastian Heisenberg
