Judul: Characteristics of Physicochemical Properties, Antioxidants, and Organoleptic of Mixed Herbal Honey with the Addition of Curcuma (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) and Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
Abstrak: Salah satu pemanfaatan madu ialah dengan menambahkan atau mencampurkan herbal yang memiliki khasiat tertentu bagi kesehatan, antara lain untuk memelihara kesehatan, mengobati penyakit, dan perawatan tubuh. Campuran antara madu dan rempah-rempah disebut dengan madu herbal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sifat fisikokimia, antioksidan, dan organoleptik dari madu herbal, yaitu madu dengan penambahan temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) dan jahe (Zingiber officinale) yang diberikan penambahan serbuk 0%, 0,5%, dan 1% dari total volume madu dengan tiga pengulangan. Sifat fisikokimia yang dianalisis ialah warna, kadar air, kadar gula, kadar abu, nilai aw, pH, viskositas, dan aktivitas antioksidan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan serbuk temulawak dan jahe terhadap madu berpengaruh meningkatkan kadar abu dan menurunkan viskositas. Penambahan serbuk temulawak dan jahe pada madu tidak berpengaruh terhadap kadar air, kadar gula, kapasitas air (aw), dan pH. Penambahan serbuk temulawak dan jahe pada madu tidak berpengaruh terhadap aktivitas dan kapasitas antioksidan. Hasil uji organoleptik oleh 32 panelis menunjukkan uji hedonik berpengaruh pada aroma, warna dan rasa, panelis lebih menyukai madu tanpa penambahan herbal. Karakteristik organoleptik mutu hedonik pada madu dengan penambahan serbuk temulawak dan jahe 1% lebih disukai panelis dalam hal rasa, kekentalan, dan aroma., One of the uses of honey is to add or mix herbs that have particular benefits for health, among others, to maintain health, treat disease, and take care of the body. The mixture of honey and spices is called herbal honey. This study aims to analyze the physicochemical, antioxidant, and organoleptic properties of herbal honey, namely honey with the addition of curcuma (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) given the addition of 0%, 0.5%, and 1% powder of the total volume of honey with three repetitions. The physicochemical properties analyzed were color, water content, sugar content, ash content, aw value, pH, viscosity, and antioxidant activity. The results showed that the addition of curcuma and ginger powder to honey affected increasing the ash content and decreased viscosity. Adding curcuma and ginger powder to honey did not affect water content, sugar content, water capacity (aw), and pH. The addition of curcuma and ginger powder to honey did not affect antioxidant activity and capacity. The results of organoleptic tests by 32 panelists showed that hedonic tests affected flavour, color, and taste, panelists prefer honey without the addition of herbs. The organoleptic characteristics of hedonic quality in honey with the addition of 1% curcuma and ginger powder were preferred by panelists in terms of taste, viscocity, and flavour.

Judul: Characteristics of Manuka compared Forest Honey Herbal Drinks with The Addition of Qusthul Hindi and Turmeric
Abstrak: Madu manuka dan madu hutan merupakan jenis madu yang sering dikonsumsi karena sifat antioksidannya yang tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis karakteristik madu hutan dan manuka serta aplikasi madu tersebut sebagai minuman herbal dengan penambahan qusthul hindi dan temulawak. Penambahan qusthul hindi dan temulawak diberikan masing-masing dalam dua formulasi (0,125 g dan 0,375 g). Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam dua tahap, yaitu menganalisis karakteristik madu manuka dan madu hutan serta pembuatan minuman herbal untuk kemudian dianalisis karakteristiknya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan karakteristik madu hutan belum memenuhi standar pada variabel pH, nilai HMF, dan aktivitas enzim diastase, sedangkan untuk madu manuka hanya memenuhi standar pada variabel kadar air, nilai HMF, dan aktivitas enzim diastase. Penambahan qusthul hindi dan temulawak pada minuman herbal menyebabkan peningkatan nilai pH, aktivitas penghambatan DPPH, dan kapasitas antioksidan, namun secara sensori tidak disukai karena penambahan rempah menyebabkan perubahan rasa dan penampilan., Manuka and forest honeys are types of honeys that are widely consumed because for their high antioxidant properties. In this study, the properties of forest and manuka honey and the use honey as a herbal drink with the addition of qusthul hindi and turmeric were analyzed. The addition of qusthul hindi and turmeric is given in two formulations (0,125 g and 0,375 g, respectively). This study was conducted in two sphase, namely analyzing the characteristics of manuka and forest honey and preparing herbal drinks to then analyzing their properties. The results showed that the properties of forest honey do not meet the standards for the variables of pH, HMF value, and diastase enzyme activity, while manuka honey meets the standards only for variables of moisture, HMF value, and diastase enzyme activity. The addition of qusthul hindi and turmeric to herbal drinks results in an increase in pH, DPPH inhibitoty activity, and antioxidant capacity, as well as a decrease of water content, but is not sensory evaluated because the addition of spices causes changes in taste and appearance.

Judul: Construction of Strongly Optimal Binary Linear Code with Minimum Distance 9 and 11
Abstrak: A binary linear code of length n over q F is a subspace of n q F . A code has three parameters that attached to it, namely length, dimension, and minimum distance. A code with length n, dimension k and minimum distance d is often called [n, k, d ]-code. Usually, when two parameters are given, then we want to find a code that has the best value for the last parameter. Based on Gilbert- Varshamov bound, if a [n, k, d ]-code exists and can not be expanded, we call it a strongly optimal code. In this paper, we construct strongly optimal code with minimum distance 9 and 11. In constructing the code, we created a theorem and algorithm based on Gilbert-Varshamov bound before we implement the algorithm to MAPLE programming language. Because of computational limitations, the program can only construct up to k = 10 for d = 9 and k = 12 for d = 11.
