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: Formulasi Beras Analog Putih Berbasis Pati Sagu (Metroxylon sagu R.), Singkong (Manihot esculentas Crantz), dan Ampas Kelapa (Cocos nucifera L.)
Abstrak: White analogue rice formulated in this research was made of several nonrice local carbohydrate sources: sago starch (Metroxylon sagu R), cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), and coconut pulp (Cocos nucifera L.). The purpose of this research was to obtain formulation of white analogue rice from above mentioned main materials. Several parameters were measured, those are color analysis (whiteness index) and sensory analysis. It was found that the addition of coconut pulp significantly affected the quality of analogue rice. The addition of coconut pulp to the formulation (5-15%) resulted in a decrease of analogue rice whiteness index. Sensory analysis showed that rice formula with 5% of coconut pulp was the most acceptable one (uncooked rice). For cooked rice, formula with 15% of coconut pulp was the most acceptable one. Although for flavor and texture attributes were not significantly different (p>0.05), thus the 5% of coconut pulp formulation was chosen as the best formula. It had lower moisture (7.41%) and protein contents (0.61%), but higher ash (0.73%), fat (3.41%), and carbohydrate contents (94.88%).

Abstrak: Bare-throathed whistler is one of several wild birds in Kelimutu National Park (TNKL) that is believed to have correlation with Lio Community‟s belief. The estimation of Bare-throated whistler‟s population in Kelimutu National Park was about 186.41-1668.07 individual by the density about 0.0389-0.3481 ind/ha with the sex ratio 6.2:1 that spreaded on area with height of 1100 – 1600 masl. The characteristic of Bare-throated whistler‟s habitat is a natural forest with various canopy level, high plant species diversity and high density. The habitat characteristics related to the availability of food in the form of insects, cover, safety and a nesting site. Generally the most of Lio community knew the existence of Bare-throated whistler directly or from their parents‟ stories. The perceptions of Lio Community to the Bare-throated whistler‟s existence is generally support the conservation efforts. The perceptions construct the Lio Community‟s atitude that tend to be conservative to the existence of Bare-throated whistler. The attitude shown by their behavior that not cathing the Bare-throated whistler from the TNKL‟s area or the outside. The attitude have an important role to the existence of Bare-throated whistler in Kelimutu National Park‟s area.
