Judul: Development of Rice Analogues from White Corn, Sorghum and Soy and Its Potential as a Functional Food
Abstrak: Development of rice analogues is one of the alternatives to support diversification program. Rice analogues is an artificial rice, shaped like rice grains and can be made from non-rice flours. One of rice analogues raw materials is corn. Corn is second carbohydrate source after rice and contain high level protein (7-12%). The utilization of white corn pulut harapan variety that contain low amylose and lokal variety white corn that contain moderate level of amylose is aimed to produce rice analogues with not too pera and sticky texture. Sorghum and soy flour are also used to develop rice analogues as functional food. Sorghum contains high protein (11.61%) and high fiber (4.09%). Soy flour contains high protein (above 35%) and low glycemic index (GI = 21). Extrusion technology was used to produce rice analogues because of the process effectiveness and because it produces rice analogues that is similar to conventional rice. The purpose of this study were: (1) to characterize the raw materials, (2) to obtain the best rice analogues formulation, physicochemical properties, and sensory quality, (3) to produce rice analogues from white corn and sorghum with the addition of soy flour, and (4) to analyze the glycemic index of rice analogues. The study was conducted in several stages: (1) preparation and characterization of raw materials, (2) formulation of rice analogues from white corn and determination the best composition of the ingredients, (3) evaluation of glycemic index of selected rice analogues. The best rice analogues formula based on the sensory test was composed of pulut and local corn (4.3% : 65.7%) and sago starch 30%. Its containing 5.35% dietary fiber so it can be used as a food source of dietary fiber. Rice analogues from white corn and sorghum raw material and soy flour potential as a functional food because were resistant starch (2.59% - 3.31%), total phenol (0.18 – 0.25 mg GAE/g sampel) and it can be used as a food source of dietary fiber (5.35% – 6.14%). Rice analogues from white corn raw material (JP) and white corn and soy flour (JPK) raw materials were selected for glycemic index test. The analysis results of JP and JPK formulation respectively were resistant starch 2.59% and 3.28%, total phenol 0.24 mg GAE/g sampel and 0.25 mg GAE/g sampel, total dietary fiber 5.35% and 5.84%. Glycemic index of JP rice analogues was 69 while JPK rice analogues was 50.

Judul: Formulation and Characterization of Analogue Rice made of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas), Sago Starch (Metroxylon sp), and Maize Flour (Zea mays)
Abstrak: Rice as the main carbohydrate source in Indonesia has created an unavoidable dependency. Constraints in consuming other carbohydrate sources are caused by unavailability of easy processed product, lack of nutrition knowledge and psychological readiness, and also lack of food product that can fulfill people’s taste. Therefore, food diversification needs a precise means so it can be consumed as staple food. Analogue rice is artificial rice made of non-rice and non-wheat raw material using twin screw extruder. Analogue rice made of sweet potato, sago starch, and maize flour has been formulated and characterized using hedonic test and physicochemical analysis. This analogue rice excellences are using low-processed sweet potato roots as one of the main ingredient, which consume less energy and consequently lower production cost, and high in thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, K, P, Fe, and Ca 2-3 times than polished rice from the combination of sweet potato, sago starch, and maize flour. The formulation for sweet potato pulp: sago starch: maize flour was 3: 1.5: 2.5. The analogue rice processing used cooking twin screw extruder at , furthermore its chemical compositions were examined. The result showed that the analogue rice contains 82.61% of carbohydrate, 0.83 ± 0.01 % of fat, 4.60 ± 0.16 % of protein, 10.26 ± 0.76 % of moisture, and 0.83 ± 0.02 % of ash. Addition of 0.1 % gelling agent hydrocolloid (alginate, carrageenan, konjac) improved the texture quality with carrageenan 0.1% decreased the hardness also konjac 0.1% increased the stickiness, however did not improve the hydration properties of analogue rice.

Judul: Incidence Rate and Treatment of Babesiosis and Haemobartonellosis in Cats at Rvet Veterinary Clinic Bogor in September 2020 – September 2021 Period
Abstrak: Babesiosis dan haemobartonellosis adalah penyakit yang menyerang sel darah merah, yang disebabkan oleh Babesia sp. dengan vektor Rhipicephalus sanguineus dan Haemobartonella sp. dengan vektor Ctenocephalides felis. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan tingkat kejadian dan jenis terapi pengobatan pasien babesiosis dan haemobartonellosis pada kucing. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder infeksi parasit darah di Klinik Hewan Rvet Bogor dari bulan September 2020 sampai September 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan angka kejadian haemobartonellosis 77,78% lebih tinggi dibanding kejadian babesiosis 22,22%. Tingginya angka kejadian parasit darah pada kucing dipengaruhi oleh faktor lingkungan, keberadaan vektor, dan manajemen pemeliharaan. Penggunaan obat pada pasien babesiosis adalah Doxycycline, sedangkan pada pasien haemobartonellosis adalah Doxycycline dan Enrofloxacin. Penggunaan obat terbanyak berdasarkan catatan rekam medis yaitu Enrofloxacin untuk menangani pasien haemobartonellosis.
